Individual skill

ahr-workflow

Use as the entry point for any American Historical Review (AHR) manuscript. Routes to the right AHR sub-skill based on where you are in the lifecycle of a history article — from significance and historiography through archives, interpretation, Chicago-style prose, review, and revision. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

# AHR Workflow Router (ahr-workflow)

The orchestrator for an AHR submission. Figure out the stage of the project, then send the user to the
matching skill. The AHR is the **flagship journal of the historical profession** — its articles are
**historiographical interventions** built on **primary sources**, judged by historians across all
fields. The router's first job is to make sure the project has both a significant question and a real
archival basis before polishing prose.

## When to trigger

- Starting a new AHR article and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Sitting on rich archival material but no argument yet (route to `ahr-argument-development`)
- Returning with a decision letter (route to `ahr-revision-and-response`)
