- Navigating any Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript as the entry point

What it does
Curranthro Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or navigating any Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right CA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and article type (Major Article under the CA✩ Treatment, Report, Forum, Discussion/Comment). It dispatches; it does not draft content.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript as the entry point
Example prompts
- “/curranthro-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
Curranthro Workflow loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 538 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.

- curranthro-workflow
- description
- Use when starting or navigating any Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right CA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and article type (Major Article under the CA✩ Treatment, Report, Forum, Discussion/Comment). It dispatches; it does not draft content.
CA Workflow Router (curranthro-workflow)
The orchestrator for a Current Anthropology submission. Figure out the stage, the subfield, and the article type, then send the user to the matching skill. CA is the transnational, all-fields journal published by the University of Chicago Press for the Wenner-Gren Foundation, and its defining feature is the CA✩ Treatment: an accepted Major Article is circulated to invited commentators whose signed Comments are published alongside it, followed by the author's Reply. The router's first job is to make sure the work is built to survive and reward that public, multi-voice scrutiny.
When to trigger
- Starting a new CA paper and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Deciding which article type fits (Major Article vs. Report vs. Forum vs. Discussion/Comment)
- Returning with a decision letter or with published Comments to reply to (route to
curranthro-rebuttal)
First questions: subfield and article type
| Situation | Article type | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Field-shaping theoretical/methodological intervention, broad reach | Major Article (6,000–10,000 words) → gets the CA✩ Treatment | normal pipeline below |
| Sharp finding, provocation, or new framework, shorter | Report (3,000–5,000 words) | curranthro-topic-selection + curranthro-data-analysis |
| Curated multi-author debate on a pressing issue | Forum | curranthro-topic-selection + curranthro-writing-style |
| Critique/reply to a CA piece from the last ~8 months | Discussion / Comment (≤ 800 words) | curranthro-rebuttal + curranthro-writing-style |
| Bridging academic and applied work | Current Applications (open-access section) | curranthro-topic-selection |
CA spans all subfields: sociocultural, archaeology, biological/physical, linguistic (plus ethnohistory, prehistory, applied). Method and ethics demands differ by subfield — name yours before routing (see
curranthro-research-design). Only Major Articles get the full CA✩ commentary.
Routing map (stage → skill)
Idea / fit / article type? → curranthro-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field? → curranthro-literature-positioning
What's the conceptual argument? → curranthro-theory-building
Is the fieldwork/design sound? → curranthro-research-design
Is the analysis/inference sound? → curranthro-data-analysis
Are exhibits clear & ethical? → curranthro-tables-figures
Does it read across the fields? → curranthro-writing-style
Ethics, consent, accountability? → curranthro-transparency-and-data
How does CA✩ review work? → curranthro-review-process
Ready to submit? → curranthro-submission
Got Comments / an R&R? → curranthro-rebuttalDefault order
topic-selection → literature-positioning → theory-building → research-design → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → transparency-and-data → review-process → submission → rebuttal
Iterate: ethnographic and theory-driven papers loop theory ↔ fieldwork ↔ interpretation many times, and
the ethics-and-accountability check (curranthro-transparency-and-data) should run early and again
before submission. The CA✩ logic also runs throughout — from topic-selection onward, ask "who are
my likely commentators, and what will they attack?"

CA✩ fit check (run before routing to the next skill)
| Check | Pass condition | Route if weak |
|---|---|---|
| Reach | A scholar in another subfield (e.g., a linguist reading an archaeology paper) can state why it matters to anthropology writ large. | curranthro-topic-selection |
| Commentary worthiness | The argument is bold and synthetic enough that international commentators would have something substantive to debate. | curranthro-theory-building |
| Mode honesty | The method (ethnographic, archival, material, lab) is defended in its own idiom, not forced into a quantitative template. | curranthro-research-design |
| Ethics of care | Consent, anonymization, heritage/repatriation obligations have an explicit plan. | curranthro-transparency-and-data |
If the paper fails the reach or commentary-worthiness check, do not route to writing-style — a CA Major Article that no one would bother commenting on is not yet a CA Major Article.
Anti-patterns
- Treating CA like a one-subfield outlet — the Major Article should reach all of anthropology
- Forgetting the CA✩ Treatment exists: writing a paper that cannot withstand published, signed Comments
- Confusing CA with its siblings: it is not American Anthropologist (AAA flagship, no comment apparatus), American Ethnologist, or Cultural Anthropology — CA is Wenner-Gren-sponsored and defined by the comment-and-reply format
- Forcing ethnographic/interpretive work into a hypothesis-test template
- Deferring ethics, consent, and anonymization to the end (they are design decisions)
