Use when deciding which aejmac-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

One of 12 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I have a macro paper idea about local bank capital requirements, but my colleague says the research question feels too narrow and reads like a regional field paper rather than a broad-interest manuscript suitable for AEJ Macro. Which specialized workflow module should I enter to address this issue?

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
This is the router. It tells you which aejmac- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) — the American Economic Association's quarterly, broad-interest macro journal (founded 2009; one of four AEJs). AEJ: Macro rewards papers that bring quantitative discipline and policy relevance to a substantive macro question across growth, business cycles, monetary and fiscal policy, labor-macro, international macro, and macro-finance.
The defining feature of AEJ: Macro is methodological breadth: it publishes both quantitative-theoretical work (DSGE, heterogeneous-agent, structural estimation, calibrated models) and identified-empirical work (SVAR, local projections, narrative identification, micro-data macro). A paper does not have to be one or the other — the bar is that whichever tool you use, the mapping from model/data to the macro conclusion is disciplined.
Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AEJ: Macro. Operational tells that you are at AEJ: Macro and not a field-macro or general-interest sibling: submission via the AEA submission system; a membership-scaled submission fee (member/nonmember × income tier; 检索于 2026-06，以官网为准); single-blind external review managed by the editor/coeditors; JEL codes required; the AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber) runs a pre-publication reproducibility check — covering simulation and calibration code, not only regression scripts — with materials deposited at the AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR. Editor as of 2026: Ayşegül Şahin (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official AEA pages.
