What it does
Cps Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or navigating any Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript and you need the right next sub-skill, chosen by lifecycle stage and whether the paper makes a genuinely comparative claim across countries or over time. It dispatches; it does not draft content.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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
- Navigating any Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript and you need the right next sub-skill
- Chosen by lifecycle stage and whether the paper makes a genuinely comparative claim across countries
Example prompts
- “/cps-workflow”
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
Cps Workflow loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

CPS Workflow Router (cps-workflow)
The orchestrator for a Comparative Political Studies submission. Figure out the stage, then send the user to the matching skill. CPS is the discipline's comparative-politics specialist (SAGE, since 1968) — the router's first job is to confirm the paper makes a comparative argument (across countries, subnational units, or over time), not a single-case study with no comparative leverage.
When to trigger
- Starting a new CPS paper and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Unsure whether the paper is comparative enough for CPS (vs. a single-country area-studies piece)
- Returning with a decision letter (route to
cps-rebuttal)
First question: is it comparative?
| Situation | CPS fit | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-national or cross-regional claim | Strong | normal pipeline below |
| Subnational comparison or over-time within one country | Strong (intra-national counts) | normal pipeline |
| Single case used to build/test a portable theory | Conditional — must travel | cps-topic-selection + cps-theory-building |
| Single country, descriptive, no comparative leverage | Weak — likely off-fit | cps-topic-selection (reframe) |
| General US poli-sci or pure IR theory | Off-fit — see sibling guard | reconsider venue |
CPS publishes work on democratization & regimes, institutions, political behavior & participation, ethnic politics & conflict, comparative political economy, and parties & elections — comparative in design or in the portability of the claim.
Routing map (stage → skill)
Idea / comparative fit? → cps-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field? → cps-literature-positioning
What's the argument? → cps-theory-building
Is the design defensible? → cps-research-design
Are the analyses sound? → cps-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear? → cps-tables-figures
Does it read for comparativists? → cps-writing-style
Replication & transparency? → cps-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged? → cps-review-process
Ready to submit? → cps-submission
Got an R&R / decision? → cps-rebuttalDefault order
topic-selection → literature-positioning → theory-building → research-design → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → transparency-and-data → review-process → submission → rebuttal
Iterate: most papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis several times before writing-style.

Comparative-fit routing check
Before selecting the next skill, force a one-minute CPS fit check:
| Check | Pass condition | Route if weak |
|---|---|---|
| Comparative leverage | The variation that identifies the claim is across cases or time, not within one snapshot. | cps-research-design |
| Travel | The argument is stated as a portable mechanism a comparativist of another region can import. | cps-theory-building |
| Generality | The contribution speaks to a comparative-politics debate, not only to one country's specialists. | cps-topic-selection |
| Transparency | Quantitative results have a CPS Dataverse plan; qualitative evidence has a documentation plan. | cps-transparency-and-data |
If the paper fails the comparative-leverage check, do not route to writing-style — it needs a design or fit repair, because CPS reviewers reject well-executed single-case papers that never become comparative.
Anti-patterns
- Treating CPS like an area-studies outlet — a lone country case with no comparative leverage is off-fit
- Pitching to the whole discipline like APSR/AJPS — CPS wants the comparative-politics contribution
- Submitting a pure-IR or pure-formal-theory paper that never compares political systems
- Deferring the replication package to acceptance — quantitative papers cannot be finally accepted without it
