At a glance

A skill your agent uses when starting or navigating any Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies.

  • Navigating any Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, First question: which article…, Routing map (stage → skill) and Default order, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Pubar Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or navigating any Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies. Routes to the right PAR sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Scholarly Take, Conceptualizing PA, Early Career Intel, Practically Speaking, Public Administration in Print) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies

Example prompts

  • “/pubar-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

Pubar Workflow loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 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
~1.2k

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 starting or navigating any Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies. Routes to the right PAR sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Scholarly Take, Conceptualizing PA, Early Career Intel, Practically Speaking, Public Administration in Print) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

PAR Workflow Router (pubar-workflow)

The orchestrator for a Public Administration Review submission. Figure out the stage and the article type, then send the user to the matching skill. PAR is the ASPA flagship that bridges research and practice — the router's first job is to confirm the paper carries a credible contribution to scholarship and a defensible "so-what" for public managers.

When to trigger

  • Starting a new PAR paper and unsure where to begin
  • Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
  • Deciding which article type fits the work
  • Returning with a decision letter (route to pubar-rebuttal)

First question: which article type?

SituationArticle typeRoute to
Full empirical study, broad PA significanceScholarly Take (research manuscript, ≤ 8,000 words)normal pipeline below
Conceptual / theoretical or "state of PA" thought pieceConceptualizing Public Administrationpubar-theory-building early
Research manuscript by an early-career scholarEarly Career Intelnormal pipeline, scope tightly
Practitioner–scholar co-authored, practice-drivenPractically Speakingpubar-writing-style (practitioner voice) early
Book reviewPublic Administration in Printout of scope for this empirical stack

Whatever the type, Evidence for Practice (3–5 takeaway points for practitioners) is expected — encouraged at first submission, required at revision (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准).

Routing map (stage → skill)

text
Idea / fit?                       → pubar-topic-selection
Where does it sit in the field?   → pubar-literature-positioning
What's the argument / mechanism?  → pubar-theory-building
Is the design defensible?         → pubar-research-design
Are the analyses sound?           → pubar-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear?           → pubar-tables-figures
Does it speak to scholars+practice? → pubar-writing-style
Repro / TOP transparency package? → pubar-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged?            → pubar-review-process
Ready to submit?                  → pubar-submission
Got an R&R / decision?            → pubar-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 PAR papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis several times, and the practitioner "so-what" should be drafted alongside the contribution, not bolted on at the end.

The PAR bridge check (run before routing)

CheckPass conditionRoute if weak
Scholarly contributionA PA scholar outside the subfield (HRM, budgeting, governance) sees the advance.pubar-topic-selection
Practitioner relevanceA public manager can name a decision the finding would inform (Evidence for Practice).pubar-writing-style
Sibling fitThe paper is broad/practice-bridging, not a JPART-style pure-theory or JPAM-style policy-analysis piece.pubar-topic-selection
TransparencyData/code/qualitative materials have a TOP-compliant plan.pubar-transparency-and-data

If the paper fails the practitioner-relevance check, do not route to writing-style for polish — it needs a contribution repair, because PAR reviewers expect every article to earn its Evidence for Practice points honestly rather than tack them on.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating PAR like a pure-theory venue (that is JPART) or a policy-analysis venue (that is JPAM)
  • A finding with no credible practitioner takeaway — Evidence for Practice cannot be fabricated
  • Forcing a quantitative template onto case-comparison or mixed-methods work PAR values
  • Deferring the TOP transparency materials until acceptance

Output format

【Stage】idea / positioning / theory / design / analysis / exhibits / writing / transparency / review / submit / rebut
【Article type】Scholarly Take / Conceptualizing PA / Early Career Intel / Practically Speaking
【Route to】pubar-<skill>
【Why】one line
【Then】the next skill after that
