# JAMA Manuscript Workflow (jama-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill; it tells you **which jama-* skill to use for the stage you are at** when preparing an Original Investigation (or systematic review / meta-analysis) for JAMA.

Default assumption: unless the user says the target is a different journal, treat the manuscript as aimed at JAMA — a big-four general medical journal (alongside NEJM, The Lancet, The BMJ) that demands **general medical importance**, a clean **EQUATOR-aligned reporting standard** (CONSORT / STROBE / PRISMA / STARD), prospective **trial registration**, and dedicated **statistical review**.

## When to trigger

- "What should I do next?" on a clinical manuscript
- A draft is handed over and the current bottleneck is unclear
- You are bouncing between design, stats, writing, and reviewer replies
- You received JAMA decision letter / reviewer comments and must switch to revision mode
