Individual skill

devpsych-workflow

Use when starting or navigating any Developmental Psychology (APA) manuscript and you are unsure which sub-skill applies. Use when choosing a manuscript length tier or returning with a decision letter. Routes by lifecycle stage and by the developmental design (cross-sectional, longitudinal/cohort, micro-genetic, experiment with minors); it dispatches, it does not draft content.

# Developmental Psychology Workflow Router (devpsych-workflow)

The orchestrator for a Developmental Psychology submission. This APA journal publishes empirical work on
**development across the life span**, and its defining demand is a credible claim about **developmental
change** — age effects, within-person change, or trajectories — reported under **APA 7th + JARS**, with
**masked review** and **Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP)** expectations. The router makes sure
the developmental claim, the design, and the open-science package are all handled, then dispatches.

## When to trigger

- Starting a new Developmental Psychology paper and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Choosing a length tier (brief report vs. larger report vs. multi-study/longitudinal report)
- Returning with a decision letter (route to `devpsych-rebuttal`)
