A skill your agent uses when starting or routing any European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies.

  • Routing any European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, First question: manuscript type, Routing map (stage → skill) and Default order, plus 7 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Eursr Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or routing any European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies. Routes to the right ESR sub-skill based on the lifecycle stage and the manuscript type (research Article ~8,000 words vs. Comment/Reply vs. Data Brief). It dispatches; it does not draft content.

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.

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

  • Routing any European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies

Example prompts

  • “/eursr-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

Eursr Workflow loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 571 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
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.

description
Use when starting or routing any European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies. Routes to the right ESR sub-skill based on the lifecycle stage and the manuscript type (research Article ~8,000 words vs. Comment/Reply vs. Data Brief). It dispatches; it does not draft content.

ESR Workflow Router (eursr-workflow)

The orchestrator for an ESR submission. ESR is the flagship quantitative-sociology journal of the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR), published by Oxford University Press. The router's first job is to confirm the work is a rigorous quantitative contribution — usually comparative and/or longitudinal — and to send the user to the matching skill for their stage.

When to trigger

  • Starting a new ESR paper and unsure where to begin
  • Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
  • Deciding among a full Article, a Comment/Reply, and a Data Brief
  • Returning with a decision letter (route to eursr-rebuttal)

First question: manuscript type

SituationTypeNote
Full quantitative study, comparative/longitudinalArticle (~8,000 words incl. endnotes + references)the main pipeline below
Critique of / reply to a published ESR pieceComment/Replytight scope; engage the original directly
Showcasing a data source for the communityData Briefdescribe design/sampling/content + sociological potential

Then confirm the method shape, because design and analysis advice turn on it: cross-national comparative · panel/longitudinal · multilevel · event-history · causal-inference · SEM/measurement.

Routing map (stage → skill)

text
Idea / fit?                          → eursr-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field?      → eursr-literature-positioning
What's the theoretical argument?     → eursr-theory-building
Is the comparative/panel design sound? → eursr-research-design
Are the models defensible?           → eursr-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear?              → eursr-tables-figures
Does it read in ESR house style?     → eursr-writing-style
Replication package + DAS ready?     → eursr-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged?               → eursr-review-process
Ready to submit?                     → eursr-submission
Got an R&R / decision?               → eursr-rebuttal

Default order

topic-selection → literature-positioning → theory-building → research-design → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → transparency-and-data → review-process → submission → rebuttal

Iterate: comparative and multilevel papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis as the cross-national data dictate.

Symptom-to-skill dispatch

ESR rewards a tight pairing of a portable sociological mechanism with a quantitative design that defeats the leading confound. Most symptoms map cleanly to one sub-skill — use this lookup before defaulting to the linear order.

Worked micro-example (illustrative routing)

A user arrives mid-project with a cross-national education study and a vague worry.

User: "I have ESS data for 20 countries and good multilevel models, but a colleague says it's
  'just a country-comparison, not an ESR contribution.'"
Router read: the worry is theoretical portability, not data → start at eursr-theory-building (name the
  macro–micro mechanism the country variation identifies), then eursr-literature-positioning (the live
  comparative debate), then eursr-research-design (what the cross-national variation lets you rule out).
Type: full quantitative study → Article (~8,000 words incl. references), not a Comment.
Then: eursr-data-analysis (multilevel SEs, country-level df) → eursr-tables-figures →
  eursr-transparency-and-data (replication package early, since the work is statistical).

The router resists the linear default and sends the comparative paper to theory and positioning first, where its fit risk actually lives.

Referee-stage pushback → which skill answers it

  • "One-country result dressed as comparative." → eursr-topic-selection then eursr-research-design (what the cross-national contrast identifies).
  • "Country-level inference with too few clusters." → eursr-data-analysis (degrees of freedom, appropriate SEs / Bayesian or design-based alternatives).
  • "Anonymity is broken." → eursr-submission masking sweep before re-upload.

Calibration anchors

  • Quantitative rigor on a portable mechanism is the gate. ESR's first question is whether a defensible quantitative design carries a mechanism European sociology can use — route there when fit is in doubt.
  • Comparative/longitudinal data set the path. Cross-national and panel designs loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis; do not force them through a single linear pass.
  • Transparency is now load-bearing. For statistical/computational work a replication package is required at conditional acceptance (submissions from 1 Jan 2025); plan it early, not at the end.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating ESR like a general or US-sociology journal — the target is rigorous European quantitative work
  • Forcing a single-country descriptive paper into a comparative frame after the fact
  • Padding a focused critique into an Article when a Comment/Reply fits
  • Forgetting the Data Availability Statement and (for statistical work) the replication-package mandate

Output format

【Stage】idea / positioning / theory / design / analysis / exhibits / writing / transparency / review / submit / rebut
【Type】Article / Comment-Reply / Data-Brief
【Method shape】comparative / panel / multilevel / event-history / causal / SEM
【Route to】eursr-<skill>
