What it does
Popdevr Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or orienting any Population and Development Review (PDR, Wiley / Population Council) manuscript and unsure which skill applies — the entry-point router that dispatches to the right PDR sub-skill by lifecycle stage and article type (Research Article, Notes & Commentary, Data & Perspectives, Archives, Book Review). 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.

Example prompts
- “/popdevr-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
Popdevr Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- popdevr-workflow
- description
- Use when starting or orienting any Population and Development Review (PDR, Wiley / Population Council) manuscript and unsure which skill applies — the entry-point router that dispatches to the right PDR sub-skill by lifecycle stage and article type (Research Article, Notes & Commentary, Data & Perspectives, Archives, Book Review). It dispatches; it does not draft content.
Population and Development Review Workflow Router (popdevr-workflow)
The orchestrator for a PDR submission. Figure out the stage and the article type, then send the user to the matching skill. PDR is the Population Council's journal at the intersection of demography AND development — the router's first job is to confirm the paper connects population dynamics (fertility, mortality, migration, ageing, structure) to social, economic, or environmental change and public policy, with the big-picture reach PDR is known for, not a narrow estimate that merely uses population data.
When to trigger
- Starting a new PDR paper and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Deciding which article type fits (Article vs. Notes & Commentary vs. Data & Perspectives)
- Returning with a decision letter (route to
popdevr-rebuttal)
First question: which article type?
| Situation | Type | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Full original study or substantial synthetic/conceptual essay | Research Article (typically ~8,000–10,000 words) | normal pipeline below |
| Short, focused argument or response on a current population question | Notes & Commentary (short) | popdevr-literature-positioning + popdevr-writing-style |
| A new dataset, indicator, or interpretation of population statistics | Data & Perspectives | popdevr-data-analysis + popdevr-transparency-and-data |
| Archival population document or official-agency text with framing | Archives | popdevr-writing-style |
| Evaluative review of a population/development book | Book Review (usually invited) | popdevr-writing-style |
Length is a norm, not a hard portal cap. Confirm current limits and types on the Wiley author page (see 待核实). PDR uses Free Format submission for the first round.
Routing map (stage -> skill)
Idea / fit (pop ↔ development)? -> popdevr-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field? -> popdevr-literature-positioning
What's the argument/mechanism? -> popdevr-theory-building
Is the design/method sound? -> popdevr-research-design
Are the analyses sound? -> popdevr-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear? -> popdevr-tables-figures
Does it read for a broad audience? -> popdevr-writing-style
Data statement & sharing plan? -> popdevr-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged? -> popdevr-review-process
Ready to submit (ScholarOne)? -> popdevr-submission
Got an R&R / decision? -> popdevr-rebuttalDefault order
topic-selection -> literature-positioning -> theory-building -> research-design -> data-analysis -> tables-figures -> writing-style -> transparency-and-data -> review-process -> submission -> rebuttal
Iterate: PDR papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis as the population-and-development argument sharpens; a synthetic essay loops literature-positioning ↔ theory-building ↔ writing-style instead, since its contribution is the framework, not a new estimate.
Anti-patterns
- Treating PDR like a methods-forward demography journal (that is Demography / Population Studies) — PDR rewards the population-and-development connection and the broad-interest argument
- A pure estimation paper with no development, policy, or environment payoff
- A policy op-ed with no population-science grounding (PDR is peer-reviewed, not a magazine)
- Leaving the data availability statement and double-anonymization until acceptance

Router pass for PDR
Run this as a concrete capability pass. First lock the population process, the development/policy linkage, the data and time scale, the selection/measurement issue, and the uncertainty; then test whether the manuscript addresses PDR's broad audience — demographers, economists, environmental and policy scholars — who inspect both the population evidence and its development meaning.
- Primary move: Run the pack as fit gate, evidence gate, writing gate, source-map gate, and output contract; stop at the first gate that lacks evidence.
- Decision ledger: return
claim / evidence / blocker / next editrows so the next pass can patch the manuscript directly. - Sibling comparison: compare against Demography and Population Studies (methods-forward), Population Research and Policy Review (applied policy), and Studies in Family Planning (programs); if a neighbor has the stronger audience claim, recommend re-routing before polishing.
- Verification floor: before submission-ready advice, re-open
resources/official-source-map.mdfor volatile rules and name the one unresolved fact that could change the recommendation.
