What it does

Govern Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or navigating any Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript and you need the entry point that routes to the right govern- sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and the comparative/institutional fit of the paper. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Governance: An International Journal of Policy

Example prompts

  • “/govern-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

Govern Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 468 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Governance Workflow Router (govern-workflow)

The orchestrator for a Governance submission. Governance (Wiley-Blackwell, founded 1988, published in association with IPSA Research Committee 27 — Structure & Organization of Government) is the leading journal of executive politics, public policy, public administration, and the organization of the state, read comparatively and internationally. The router's first job is to confirm the paper makes a comparative/institutional contribution to how we understand governing — then send the user to the matching skill. It dispatches; it does not write content.

When to trigger

  • Starting a new Governance paper and unsure where to begin
  • Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
  • Unsure whether the paper is in scope (executive politics / policy / PA / the state) vs. off-fit
  • Returning with a decision letter (route to govern-rebuttal)

Routing map (stage / symptom → skill)

text
Is this a Governance question? fit?     → govern-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field?         → govern-literature-positioning
What is the argument / contribution?    → govern-theory-building
Is the design defensible?               → govern-research-design
Are the analyses sound?                 → govern-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear?                 → govern-tables-figures
Does it read for the SOG community?     → govern-writing-style
Data Availability Statement & materials?→ govern-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged (double-blind)?   → govern-review-process
Ready to submit (Wiley portal)?         → govern-submission
Got an R&R / decision letter?           → govern-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: most Governance papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis several times before writing-style, and a comparative paper often revisits case/country scope after positioning.

Governance fit check (run before routing)

Force a one-minute fit check; route to the repair skill if any check is weak.

CheckPass conditionRoute if weak
Comparative / institutional significanceThe claim travels across countries or policy domains and speaks to how the state governs — not one agency in one country described once.govern-topic-selection
In scope, not off-fitIt is executive politics / public policy / PA / organization of the state. It is not corporate governance, and not a literature review or pure bibliometric study (both out of scope).govern-topic-selection
Method pluralismAny rigorous approach is welcome — quantitative, qualitative, comparative-historical, mixed — and is defended on its own terms, not forced into a regression template.govern-research-design
Transparency planA Data Availability Statement is planned (mandatory at submission); replication data/code location is identified where applicable.govern-transparency-and-data

If the paper fails the comparative/institutional check, do not route to writing-style. It needs a theory or fit repair — Governance reviewers reject competent single-country administrative descriptions that never become a contribution to comparative governance.

Sibling-journal guard

If the contribution is really to a sibling audience, the paper may be misrouted to Governance:

  • Practitioner-facing public-management lessons for US administrators → Public Administration Review (PAR).
  • PA theory development for its own sake → JPART.
  • Policy-analysis / program-evaluation with a cost-benefit framing → JPAM.
  • Pure regulatory-studies / regulatory-instrument design → Regulation & Governance (Wiley sibling).

Governance wins when the premium is comparative/institutional reach across countries and a contribution to how we understand the state and governing.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating Governance like a single-country PA outlet — the contribution must travel comparatively/institutionally
  • Submitting a literature review or bibliometric mapping (out of scope here)
  • Confusing the journal's "governance" with corporate governance (hard out of scope)
  • Deferring the Data Availability Statement until acceptance — it is required at submission

Output format

【Stage】fit / positioning / theory / design / analysis / exhibits / writing / transparency / review / submit / rebut
【Scope verdict】in-scope (exec politics / policy / PA / state) / off-fit (corporate gov / lit-review / sibling journal)
【Route to】govern-<skill>
【Why】one line
【Then】the next skill after that
