Use as the entry point for any American Journal of Sociology (AJS) manuscript. Routes to the right AJS sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle and whether the piece is a research article, a Comment/Reply, or a book-review response. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

# AJS Workflow Router (ajs-workflow)
The orchestrator for an AJS submission. Figure out the stage and the **piece type**, then send the
user to the matching skill. AJS is the discipline's **oldest** journal — generalist sociology with a
premium on **theoretical ambition** and a distinctive **student-run, double-blind** review run out of
the University of Chicago Department of Sociology. The router's first job is to make sure the paper is
**in dialogue with current sociology** (AJS "prejects" papers that are not).
## When to trigger
- Starting a new AJS paper and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Deciding whether the piece is a **research article** or a **Comment/Reply** on a published AJS paper
- Returning with a decision letter (route to `ajs-rebuttal`)
