What it does

Arpsych Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which arpsych- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing an invited review article from topic through revision for an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Deciding which arpsych- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing an invited review article from topic through revision for an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) manuscript

Example prompts

  • “/arpsych-workflow”

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. arpsych-topic-selection — confirm the topic is ARPsych-scale (mature, important, needs synthesis)
  2. arpsych-proposal-and-commissioning — get the topic to the Committee / shape the accepted invitation
  3. arpsych-literature-synthesis — gather and read the literature systematically
  4. arpsych-organizing-framework — impose the analytical spine
  5. arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance — even-handed coverage across labs and paradigms
  6. arpsych-tables-figures — summary tables and the conceptual figure
  7. arpsych-writing-style — the authoritative-yet-accessible ARPsych voice (abstract + intro last)
  8. arpsych-transparency-and-reproducibility — document the search; make any meta-analysis reproducible
  9. arpsych-editor-strategy — scope and the Editor/production relationship
  10. arpsych-submission — Annual Reviews delivery preflight
  11. arpsych-revision — after the editor/peer-review letter

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Arpsych Workflow loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 756 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ARPsych Workflow Router (arpsych-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which arpsych- skill to use at the current stage* of an invited review article aimed at the Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) — the Annual Reviews (nonprofit) survey series for psychology, founded 1950, published as an annual volume, and edited by Susan T. Fiske (检索于 2026-06;editor since 2000;以官网为准). It is among the highest-impact journals in the field (检索于 2026-06;JIF ~29.4 in 2024, ranked #1 in Psychology;以官网为准). ARPsych does not publish original empirical studies. It publishes authoritative, accessible review articles that synthesize a topic — across cognitive, social, developmental, clinical, biological/neuro, I-O, and methods psychology — for the whole field and adjacent disciplines. So the lifecycle is not "design → run → analyze → defend"; it is find a synthesis-worthy topic → get on the Editorial Committee's commission list → read the whole literature → impose an organizing framework → cover it even-handedly → land the ARPsych voice → handle production → revise.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as ARPsych and the artefact as an invited review, not a primary-research paper. Operational tells that you are at ARPsych and not a sibling: the work reviews other people's findings rather than reporting its own studies; unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted — the Editorial Committee plans each volume and invites authors (you may suggest a topic, but you cannot self-submit a finished paper) (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准); there is no study of your own to power or preregister (you appraise the studies you cover); the contribution is an analytical map of a literature, not a new effect. If the user has original data, they want a primary outlet (a Psychological Science, a JPSP, a specialty journal) — say so. If they have a stand-alone meta-analysis or a self-submitted review, that is Psychological Bulletin, not ARPsych.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?" on an invited review
  • A review draft reads like an annotated bibliography and needs a spine
  • Work is ping-ponging between coverage, framing, balance, and the invitation
  • An ARPsych production/peer-review letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode

Default order

  1. arpsych-topic-selection — confirm the topic is ARPsych-scale (mature, important, needs synthesis)
  2. arpsych-proposal-and-commissioning — get the topic to the Committee / shape the accepted invitation
  3. arpsych-literature-synthesis — gather and read the literature systematically
  4. arpsych-organizing-framework — impose the analytical spine
  5. arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance — even-handed coverage across labs and paradigms
  6. arpsych-tables-figures — summary tables and the conceptual figure
  7. arpsych-writing-style — the authoritative-yet-accessible ARPsych voice (abstract + intro last)
  8. arpsych-transparency-and-reproducibility — document the search; make any meta-analysis reproducible
  9. arpsych-editor-strategy — scope and the Editor/production relationship
  10. arpsych-submission — Annual Reviews delivery preflight
  11. arpsych-revision — after the editor/peer-review letter

arpsych-writing-style is a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before the framework and balance settle. The invitation comes early — ARPsych is commissioning-first, so arpsych-proposal-and-commissioning precedes the heavy reading and an agreed length lands before drafting.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating ARPsych as a journal you submit to cold — it is invitation-driven; unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)
  • Treating the review as an annotated bibliography (no framework) — the cardinal review-article failure
  • Centering the review on the author's own lab and citing oneself disproportionately (self-promotion)
  • Importing primary-research instincts: there is no "preregistration" or "power analysis" of your own — you appraise others' designs
  • Confusing ARPsych with Psychological Bulletin (submitted reviews/meta-analyses), Annual Review of Clinical Psychology (the clinical sister), or Perspectives on Psychological Science (shorter, opinionated essays)
