Use when starting or navigating any American Anthropologist (AA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right AA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and section type (Research Article, Vital Topics Forum, World/Public/Multimodal Anthropologies, Review Essay). It dispatches; it does not draft content.

One of 15 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I am writing a paper on community-led heritage management authored entirely by scholars based in South America, focusing on non-Anglophone theoretical traditions. Which section and initial skill should I target? Output in standard routing fields.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
The orchestrator for an American Anthropologist submission. Figure out the stage, the subfield, and the section type, then send the user to the matching skill. AA is the four-field AAA flagship — the router's first job is to make sure the work reads as anthropology that speaks across subfields, with reflexivity and an ethics of care built in from the start, not bolted on.

| Full original study, broad anthropological significance | Research Article (≤ 8,000 words) | normal pipeline below |
| Multi-voice debate on a pressing issue | Vital Topics Forum | amanthro-topic-selection + amanthro-writing-style |

AA spans four fields: sociocultural, archaeology, biological/physical, linguistic, plus reflexive/public anthropology. The methods and the transparency/ethics demands differ by subfield — name yours before routing (see
amanthro-research-design).
