# Cell Workflow Router (cell-workflow)
## Overview
This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which cell-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *Cell* (Cell Press).
Default assumption: unless the user states otherwise, the target is **Cell** (the flagship), not *Molecular Cell*, *Cell Reports*, *Cell Reports Medicine*, *Developmental Cell*, or other Cell Press titles. The family shares STAR Methods, Highlights, eTOC, and Graphical Abstract conventions, but differs sharply on scope and breadth — flag the difference if the user names a sibling.
## The single most important idea about Cell
Cell does not publish a single striking observation. It publishes a **complete, mechanistic, hypothesis-driven story**: a conceptual advance supported by **multiple independent lines of evidence that converge on a mechanism**. Descriptive or single-result papers are desk-rejected. Route to `cell-fit` first, always.
