Use as the entry point for any American Political Science Review (APSR) manuscript. Routes to the right APSR sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and which of the five tracks (Regular Article, Research Note, Replication/Reappraisal, Synthesis, Registered Report) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

One of 16 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
My paper on municipal water board voting patterns in upstate New York is written specifically for local public administration specialists. I want to polish the prose style immediately. Determine the project stage, track, primary destination module, short reason, and following module using bracketed field tags.

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
The orchestrator for an APSR submission. Figure out the stage and the track, then send the user to the matching skill. APSR is a discipline-wide generalist journal — the router's first job is to make sure the paper is pitched to the whole discipline, not just a subfield.
apsr-rebuttal)| Situation | Track | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Full original study, broad significance | Regular Article (< 11,000 words) | normal pipeline below |
| Focused single contribution | Research Note (< 7,000 words) | normal pipeline, tighter scope |
| Re-running / reassessing a published finding | Replications and Reappraisals | apsr-research-design + apsr-transparency-and-data-policy |
| Consolidating a literature or debate | Synthesis | apsr-literature-positioning + apsr-theory-building |
| Design finished, data not yet collected/analyzed | Registered Report | apsr-review-process (Stage 1) early |
If the design is prospective, decide on Registered Reports before collecting data — that is the whole point of the track.
