Use when deciding which qje-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# QJE Workflow Router (qje-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which qje-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at the *Quarterly Journal of Economics*.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as QJE — the oldest English-language economics journal (founded 1886, published by Oxford University Press for the **Harvard** Department of Economics), a top-5 general-interest journal that rewards a **big conceptual idea backed by clean, credible empirics**. Its five Harvard-based Editors (Barro, Katz, Nunn, Shleifer, Stantcheva as of 2024) desk-decide in roughly **two weeks** — the fastest at desk among the top-5 — and desk-reject the majority; unconditional acceptance is only **~1-4%**. There is **no submission fee**; initial submission is a **single PDF via Editorial Express** under **double-blind** review. Re-verify volatile specifics (current editors, fee, deposit policy) on the official journal page before relying on them.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?"
- The user hands over a draft and needs the current bottleneck diagnosed
- Work is ping-ponging between empirics, theory, writing, and response letters
- A QJE decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode
