Arsoc Workflow

What it does

When your agent uses it

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

Example prompts

• “/arsoc-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1arsoc-topic-selection — confirm the subfield is ARSoc-scale (mature, important, needs synthesis)
2. 2arsoc-proposal-and-commissioning — get the topic to the Editorial Committee / shape the invitation
3. 3arsoc-literature-synthesis — gather and read the literature systematically (coverage discipline)
4. 4arsoc-organizing-framework — impose the analytical spine
5. 5arsoc-comprehensiveness-and-balance — completeness, fairness, even-handed treatment of schools
6. 6arsoc-tables-figures — who-found-what tables and the conceptual figure
7. 7arsoc-writing-style — the authoritative-yet-accessible ARSoc voice (abstract + intro last)
8. 8arsoc-transparency-and-reproducibility — coverage account + any meta-analytic data/code
9. 9arsoc-editor-strategy — scope and the Committee/production relationship + volume clock
10. 10arsoc-submission — Annual Reviews delivery preflight
11. 11arsoc-revision — after the editor/Committee 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

Arsoc Workflow loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 747 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~64

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

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.

description

Use when deciding which arsoc-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing an invited review article from topic through revision for an Annual Review of Sociology (ARSoc) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
