# YLJ Workflow Router (ylj-workflow)

The orchestrator for a Yale Law Journal submission. YLJ is a **student-edited, generalist** law review
at Yale Law School — **not peer-reviewed**. Figure out the **track** and the **stage**, then send the
user to the matching skill. Unlike a peer-reviewed journal, the piece must already read as a **near-final,
heavily-footnoted, Bluebook-compliant** article when it is submitted, because student editors evaluate a
finished manuscript and then cite-check every footnote.

## When to trigger

- Starting a new piece for YLJ and unsure where to begin
- Mid-draft and unsure which skill applies next
- Deciding which **track** fits (Article / Essay / Feature / Note / Comment / Forum)
- Holding an offer from another review and weighing an **expedite** (route to `ylj-placement-strategy`)
