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 respol- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing manuscript work from topic through rebuttal for a Research Policy (RP) submission

Example prompts

  • “/respol-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. respol-topic-selection — lock an innovation-studies question RP owns
  2. respol-theory-development — build the mechanism / conceptual frame
  3. respol-literature-positioning — stake the gap against the RP/SPRU canon
  4. respol-methods — design and measurement appropriate to the claim
  5. respol-data-analysis — estimation / bibliometric build / coding + robustness
  6. respol-contribution-framing — sharpen the "so what + policy/managerial" claim
  7. respol-tables-figures — exhibits that carry the mechanism
  8. respol-writing-style — make the idea land (intro/abstract last)
  9. respol-submission — Editorial Manager preflight + data/code statement
  10. respol-review-process — calibrate expectations; consider Research Note
  11. respol-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

Respol Workflow loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 731 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
~1.8k

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.

Research Policy Workflow Router (respol-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It names which respol- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at Research Policy (RP) — Elsevier's flagship journal of innovation studies and science, technology & innovation (STI) policy. RP's center of gravity is the economics, management, and sociology of innovation: R&D and technological change, national/regional/sectoral innovation systems, science and technology policy, entrepreneurship and technology management, university-industry links, and intellectual property. It is deeply interdisciplinary and carries the SPRU/Freeman-Nelson-Pavitt heritage; a paper earns space by advancing innovation-studies understanding, usually with a policy or managerial implication.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as RP. Operational tells that you are at RP and not a sibling: the contribution is to innovation theory or evidence, not to a generic strategy or economics conversation; methods are pluralist (econometrics, bibliometrics/patent analysis, surveys, case studies, mixed methods) and no single technique is privileged; review is double-blind; the desk-screen rejects papers whose literature is "almost entirely economics or management journals" as out of scope (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Article types include full articles (~8,000–10,000 words incl. notes/refs/tables) and shorter Research Notes (~3,000–5,000 words) — verify on the guide for authors.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?" on an RP-bound manuscript
  • A draft's current bottleneck is unclear and needs diagnosis
  • Work is ping-ponging between framing, theory, design, evidence, exhibits, and the response letter
  • An RP decision letter arrived and the user must switch into revision mode
  • The team is debating RP vs. a sibling (Industrial and Corporate Change, Technovation, JPIM, SMJ)

Routing table

Current symptomNext skill
Scope/audience/outlet fit uncertain; risk of "out of scope" desk rejectrespol-topic-selection
The innovation-studies conceptual contribution is thin or borrowedrespol-theory-development
Contribution vs. the innovation-studies frontier is fuzzy or mis-citedrespol-literature-positioning
Identification / measurement / design (patent, survey, case, mixed) is shakyrespol-methods
Estimation, bibliometric construction, coding, or robustness needs workrespol-data-analysis

Exhibits are dense or do not carry the mechanismrespol-tables-figures
Prose buries the idea; intro/abstract miss the RP voicerespol-writing-style
Ready to submit; need a preflight + data/code statementrespol-submission
Want referee timeline / desk-reject odds / Research Note optionrespol-review-process
Received an R&R; need a response-letter strategyrespol-rebuttal

Default order

  1. respol-topic-selection — lock an innovation-studies question RP owns
  2. respol-theory-development — build the mechanism / conceptual frame
  3. respol-literature-positioning — stake the gap against the RP/SPRU canon
  4. respol-methods — design and measurement appropriate to the claim
  5. respol-data-analysis — estimation / bibliometric build / coding + robustness
  6. respol-contribution-framing — sharpen the "so what + policy/managerial" claim
  7. respol-tables-figures — exhibits that carry the mechanism
  8. respol-writing-style — make the idea land (intro/abstract last)
  9. respol-submission — Editorial Manager preflight + data/code statement
  10. respol-review-process — calibrate expectations; consider Research Note
  11. respol-rebuttal — after the R&R

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

Routing by paper archetype

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

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
Patent / bibliometric quantitativeconstruct validity of the indicator + endogeneityrespol-methods → respol-data-analysis
Policy-evaluation / causal (R&D subsidy, mission programs)identification (DID/IV/RDD) + policy-invariance of mechanismrespol-methods
Survey on innovation behavior (firm/CIS-style)measurement, common-method bias, generalizabilityrespol-methods → respol-data-analysis
Qualitative / case study of an innovation systemtheoretical generalization + boundary conditionsrespol-theory-development
Mixed-methods (cases + patents/survey)integration logic, not two papers stapled togetherrespol-theory-development → respol-methods
Conceptual / typology of innovation systemsnovelty vs. the SPRU canon; falsifiabilityrespol-literature-positioning

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My patent-based paper on regional knowledge spillovers estimates fine, but a referee says the citation measure is endogenous and that the paper reads like an economics-of-geography paper, not innovation studies." That is two distinct RP pushbacks — an indicator/identification problem owned by respol-methods and respol-data-analysis, and a positioning/scope problem owned by respol-literature-positioning. Route to methods first to defend the patent-citation measure (e.g., self-citation correction, examiner vs. applicant citations), then to positioning to re-anchor the contribution in the innovation-systems literature so it reads as RP, not JEG.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating RP as interchangeable with SMJ (strategy), Management Science (general management science), Industrial and Corporate Change, Technovation, or JPIM
  • Polishing prose before theory, design, and the evidence hierarchy are stable
  • Skipping respol-topic-selection and submitting a paper whose lit base is "all econ/management" — the classic out-of-scope desk reject
  • Letting the appendix carry a claim the main text must establish
