What it does

Jais Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which jais- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills, and it first helps you name which of JAIS's seven manuscript categories your paper belongs in.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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 jais- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) manuscript

Example prompts

  • “/jais-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. jais-topic-selection — name the category; lock an IS question that JAIS would want
  2. jais-theory-development — build the original theory / framework / mechanism
  3. jais-literature-positioning — join the IS conversation across disciplines
  4. jais-methods — match the design (behavioral / econometric / design-science / qualitative) to the claim
  5. jais-data-analysis — validity, identification, or artifact evaluation done right
  6. jais-contribution-framing — make the theoretical contribution explicit
  7. jais-tables-figures — finalize exhibits in a standalone, APA-styled body
  8. jais-writing-style — APA-6 / JAIS prose polish (abstract + intro last)
  9. jais-submission — ManuscriptCentral preflight (double-blind, matrix, cover letter)
  10. jais-review-process — set expectations for the developmental, SE-led process
  11. jais-rebuttal — after a revision invite, revise then draft the response

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

Jais Workflow loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 866 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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 deciding which jais-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills, and it first helps you name which of JAIS's seven manuscript categories your paper belongs in.

JAIS Workflow Router (jais-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you which jais- skill to use right now* for your manuscript aimed at the Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS).

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JAIS — the flagship journal of the Association for Information Systems (AIS), a Senior Scholars' Basket member that publishes "the highest quality scholarship in the field of information systems." JAIS's identity is theory-forward and methodologically plural: it is "inclusive in topics, level and unit of analysis, theory, method and philosophical and research approach" and "encourages theory based multi- or inter-disciplinary research" (about page, 检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). The defining tell of JAIS versus its siblings is that theory is a first-class contribution in its own right — JAIS runs a standalone Theory category for "original theory" alongside empirical Research Articles, design research, and literature reviews.

So the first routing question is not "is the method sound?" but "which of the seven JAIS categories is this, and does the contribution match that category's bar?" The seven categories (each with its own Senior Editor) are: Research Articles, Theory, Literature Reviews, Research Perspectives, Foundational Research on Novel Digital Phenomena, Editorials, and Policy and Impact (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准).

Editorial team and policies change: Monideepa Tarafdar is Editor-in-Chief (effective Sept 1, 2024). Treat the masthead, category SEs, and any impact-factor figure as 待核实 and re-verify at aisel.aisnet.org/jais.

When to trigger

  • "What should I do next?" with a half-built JAIS manuscript
  • You are unsure which of the seven JAIS categories (and therefore which contribution bar) the paper fits
  • You have a conceptual/theory paper and are unsure whether JAIS or MISQ/ISR is the home
  • A Senior Editor or reviewer pushes on theory contribution, fit, or methodological transparency
  • A JAIS decision letter arrived and you need to switch into revision/response mode

Idea is vague; unsure of the category or whether it is a JAIS-fit IS questionjais-topic-selection

Default order

  1. jais-topic-selection — name the category; lock an IS question that JAIS would want
  2. jais-theory-development — build the original theory / framework / mechanism
  3. jais-literature-positioning — join the IS conversation across disciplines
  4. jais-methods — match the design (behavioral / econometric / design-science / qualitative) to the claim
  5. jais-data-analysis — validity, identification, or artifact evaluation done right
  6. jais-contribution-framing — make the theoretical contribution explicit
  7. jais-tables-figures — finalize exhibits in a standalone, APA-styled body
  8. jais-writing-style — APA-6 / JAIS prose polish (abstract + intro last)
  9. jais-submission — ManuscriptCentral preflight (double-blind, matrix, cover letter)
  10. jais-review-process — set expectations for the developmental, SE-led process
  11. jais-rebuttal — after a revision invite, revise then draft the response

jais-tables-figures and jais-writing-style are late-stage polish. Do not invoke them while the category, theory, or identification/evaluation is still unsettled.

Routing by paper archetype

JAIS is plural, and the binding constraint differs by archetype. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
pure theory / conceptual (Theory category)a genuinely new construct or framework, not a relabeled importjais-theory-development
behavioral empirical (survey/experiment)construct validity + common-method bias; SEM measurement modeljais-methods → jais-data-analysis
econometric / economics-of-ISa credible identification strategy for the IS effectjais-methods → jais-data-analysis
design science (artifact)design principles + a real evaluation, not "we built it"jais-theory-development → jais-methods
literature review (structured / theory-elaborating)a method for the review + a forward-looking theoretical payoffjais-methods → jais-contribution-framing
foundational / novel digital phenomenondisciplined description that yields new or pre-theoretical insightjais-topic-selection → jais-theory-development

Difference vs. MISQ / ISR / JMIS / Management Science

  • JAIS: the AIS's own flagship; the most explicit "theory and method as contributions in their own right" stance — a standalone Theory category, developmental reviewing, methodological/philosophical pluralism. Double-blind; APA 6th; ManuscriptCentral; Green OA, no APC.
  • MISQ: sister Basket journal with a stronger design-science genre identity, a strict page-limit-counts-everything rule, and a pluralistic transparency commitment uploaded at submission.
  • ISR: INFORMS quarterly, sociotechnical and intradisciplinary, behavioral and analytical co-equal; 32/38-page caps; a required ~500-word contribution statement.
  • JMIS: Basket journal with a more applied-systems/economic-modeling tilt and its own conventions.
  • Management Science: broad INFORMS management/OR journal (charges a submission fee) — not IS-specific.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating JAIS as interchangeable with MISQ or ISR — the standalone Theory category and pluralism are the differentiators.
  • Sending an atheoretical phenomenon-mining paper to JAIS — theory (or a pre-theoretical insight, in the Foundational category) is the price of entry.
  • Letting jais-tables-figures beautify exhibits before the theory and evidence are settled.
  • Polishing prose before the category, contribution, and evidence hierarchy are stable.
  • Quoting a fee, editor, or word limit as permanent when the source map marks it volatile.
