It sits in Research & Science. 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

  • Deciding which humrel- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing manuscript work from topic through rebuttal for a Human Relations (HR) submission

Example prompts

  • “/humrel-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. humrel-topic-selection — lock the work-and-society question and HR fit
  2. humrel-theory-development — build the social-theoretical engine
  3. humrel-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. the conversation
  4. humrel-methods — design (qual / critical / quant / mixed) with rigor
  5. humrel-data-analysis — make the evidence-to-theory link transparent
  6. humrel-contribution-framing — sharpen the one-sentence theoretical claim
  7. humrel-tables-figures — exhibits that carry, not decorate
  8. humrel-writing-style — the reflexive HR voice (intro + abstract last)
  9. humrel-submission — anonymized ScholarOne preflight
  10. humrel-review-process — calibrate the scoping screen and developmental review
  11. humrel-rebuttal — after the R&R

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

Humrel Workflow loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 728 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

Human Relations Workflow Router (humrel-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which humrel- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at Human Relations (HR) — the long-established interdisciplinary social-science journal of work, organization, and management, published by SAGE for the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations (founded 1947, monthly). HR draws on organization studies, sociology, psychology, and critical perspectives, and its stated aim is "to advance our understanding of social relationships at and around work through theoretical development and empirical investigation." It treats qualitative, critical, quantitative, and mixed-methods work as equally first-class — what is non-negotiable is a unique and substantive theoretical contribution anchored in the relational, social nature of work.

Operational tells that you are at HR and not a sibling: review is double-anonymous, so the manuscript must be fully anonymized (no author names, no links to external sites); the total length cap is 13,000 words including everything (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准); referencing is SAGE Harvard (author-date); submission is through ScholarOne / ManuscriptCentral (mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hr). HR runs an editorial scoping screen before full review — "suitable data are a necessary but not sufficient feature to get to full peer review" — so the contribution and fit must be legible up front. Co-Editors-in-Chief are Smriti Anand and Penny Dick (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准).

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?" on an HR-targeted manuscript
  • A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed
  • Work is ping-ponging between theory, fieldwork/data, framing, writing, and the response letter
  • An HR decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
  • The team is weighing HR against Organization Studies, JMS, AMJ, or Organization

Routing table

Scope/audience fit uncertain; "is this an HR paper?"humrel-topic-selection

Default order

  1. humrel-topic-selection — lock the work-and-society question and HR fit
  2. humrel-theory-development — build the social-theoretical engine
  3. humrel-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. the conversation
  4. humrel-methods — design (qual / critical / quant / mixed) with rigor
  5. humrel-data-analysis — make the evidence-to-theory link transparent
  6. humrel-contribution-framing — sharpen the one-sentence theoretical claim
  7. humrel-tables-figures — exhibits that carry, not decorate
  8. humrel-writing-style — the reflexive HR voice (intro + abstract last)
  9. humrel-submission — anonymized ScholarOne preflight
  10. humrel-review-process — calibrate the scoping screen and developmental review
  11. humrel-rebuttal — after the R&R

humrel-writing-style is a late polish; do not rewrite the intro before the theory and evidence settle.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating HR as interchangeable with Organization Studies (EGOS), JMS, AMJ (US hypothesis-testing), or Organization (critical-only) — see the archetype table
  • Sending a paper whose contribution is empirical-only ("we found X") with no theoretical advance — fails the scoping screen
  • Polishing prose before theory, design, and the evidence hierarchy are stable
  • Leaving author-identifying traces (acknowledgements, self-cites in first person, live URLs) in a double-anonymous submission
  • Letting an appendix carry claims the 13k main text must establish

Routing by paper archetype

HR spans several traditions, and the binding constraint differs by archetype. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
Ethnographic / qualitative process studydata-to-theory transparency + theoretical payoffhumrel-theory-development → humrel-data-analysis
Critical / reflexive (power, identity, discourse)sharpening the critique into a travelling contributionhumrel-literature-positioning → humrel-contribution-framing
Quantitative / survey / multilevelconstruct validity + theorizing beyond the coefficienthumrel-methods → humrel-data-analysis
Mixed-methodsintegration logic (why both, what each adds)humrel-methods
Theory paper (no new data)novelty + reach vs. existing organizational theoryhumrel-theory-development

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My ethnography of platform couriers is rich, but a reviewer says it reads as 'a vivid case with thin theory' and feels closer to Work, Employment and Society than HR." That is two HR pushbacks — the data-to-theory ladder is invisible (owned by humrel-data-analysis) and the contribution is empirical not theoretical (owned by humrel-contribution-framing, scoped against siblings in humrel-literature-positioning). Route to theory and data first; only once the courier case yields a named, generative mechanism about control and identity at work — not just a labour-process description — do you return to humrel-writing-style and humrel-rebuttal.
