At a glance

A skill your agent uses when starting or navigating any Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies.

  • Navigating any Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, First question: article type, Routing map (stage → skill) and Default order, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Choosing among article types

What it does

Joap Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or navigating any Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among article types or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and article type (Feature Article, Research Report, theory-development article, integrative review, qualitative, meta-analysis), and flags JAP's twin gates — a real I-O theoretical contribution and measurement/design rigor. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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, covering Deep research. 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 Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies
  • Choosing among article types
  • Returning with a decision letter

Example prompts

  • “/joap-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

Joap Workflow loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 127 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~127
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.

Use when starting or navigating any Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing among article types or returning with a decision letter.

Journal of Applied Psychology Workflow Router (joap-workflow)

The orchestrator for a JAP submission. JAP is the APA flagship of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology, and it accepts almost nothing on rigor alone: a paper must make a theoretical contribution to I-O science and clear a high bar on construct validity, design, and measurement. The router makes sure both gates are addressed early, then sends you to the matching skill.

When to trigger

  • Starting a new JAP paper and unsure where to begin
  • Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
  • Choosing among article types
  • Returning with a decision letter (route to joap-rebuttal)

First question: article type

SituationTypeRoute note
Full programmatic empirical contributionFeature Articlemain pipeline below; length commensurate with contribution
Focused, shorter empirical contributionResearch Reporttighter page budget (待核实 exact cap); often a multi-study package
New conceptual/theory contribution, no new dataTheory-development articlejoap-theory-and-hypotheses is the spine; design/analysis lighter
Cumulative synthesis of an effectIntegrative review / meta-analysisjoap-data-analysis (meta-analytic methods) + transparency for coding
Qualitative I-O contributionQualitative researchjoap-study-design (trustworthiness) + joap-writing-style

JAP weighs theory and measurement together. A clean field study with no theoretical advance, and an elegant model with weak measurement, are both common desk rejects — confirm current article types and any length caps on the official APA page.

Routing map (stage → skill)

text
Idea / fit for I-O science?            → joap-topic-selection
Theory + hypotheses (model first)?     → joap-theory-and-hypotheses
Where does it sit in the field?        → joap-literature-positioning
Design / measurement / CMV / nesting?  → joap-study-design
SEM / HLM / mediation / meta sound?    → joap-data-analysis
Exhibits (APA, path/CFA, HLM tables)?  → joap-tables-figures
Fits APA style + length?               → joap-writing-style
Data/materials/code + TOP + prereg?    → joap-open-science-and-transparency
How will masked reviewers judge it?    → joap-review-process
Ready to submit (Editorial Manager)?   → joap-submission
Got an R&R / decision?                 → joap-rebuttal

Default order

topic-selection → theory-and-hypotheses → literature-positioning → study-design → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → open-science-and-transparency → review-process → submission → rebuttal

Theory comes before literature positioning here on purpose: JAP wants the theoretical mechanism fixed first, then the literature marshaled to show why that mechanism is new. For meta-analyses and theory-development articles the spine shifts — pull data-analysis (meta) or theory-and-hypotheses (theory) forward.

Worked micro-example — routing a live project (illustrative)

A team has a two-wave field study (N = 612 employees nested in 74 teams) testing whether servant leadership raises team performance via psychological safety, plus a lab experiment for causal identification. The router walks them:

Type:    Feature Article (programmatic; field + experiment, multilevel + mediation).
Entry:   not idea-stage; theory and data exist → start at theory-and-hypotheses
         to lock the model, then design/analysis.
Route:   theory-and-hypotheses (mechanism + multilevel hypotheses)
         → study-design (CMV, nesting, temporal separation) → data-analysis
         (multilevel SEM mediation, ICC, indirect-effect CIs)
         → tables-figures (path diagram + HLM table) → writing-style
         → open-science-and-transparency (TOP, data/code, prereg of the lab study)
         → review-process → submission ; on R&R → rebuttal.
Flag:    The cross-level mediation needs a 1-1-2 / 2-2-2 design statement and a
         CMV remedy declared up front, or Reviewer 2 will lead with it.

Routing pitfalls specific to this venue

  • Sending a paper straight to joap-data-analysis when the deeper problem is that no theoretical contribution has been articulated — JAP rejects rigorous-but-atheoretical work; fix theory first.
  • Deferring joap-study-design until after data: common-method variance, temporal separation, and nesting are design decisions; you cannot fully repair them at the analysis stage.
  • Treating joap-open-science-and-transparency as a formality — JAP holds submissions to the TOP framework; deposits and statements should be built early, not promised at acceptance.

Anti-patterns

  • A rigorous field study with no advance in I-O theory (rigor is necessary, not sufficient)
  • Cross-sectional single-source self-report offered as the whole evidentiary base
  • Hypotheses stated after the results were known (HARKing)
  • Leaving construct validity and measurement to an afterthought
  • Confusing JAP with a sibling venue (Personnel Psychology, AMJ, OBHDP, JOB) and writing to the wrong bar
