Use when deciding which jpe-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

# JPE Workflow Router (jpe-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which jpe-* skill to use given where you are right now** in a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) submission.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as **JPE proper** (University of Chicago Press; lead editor Esteban Rossi-Hansberg). The same routing applies to the **2023-launched companion journals** — JPE Microeconomics (lead editor John List) and JPE Macroeconomics (lead editor Greg Kaplan) — but those are narrower in scope; flag that routing choice in `jpe-topic-selection`. Note two JPE-specific gates that shape the whole pipeline: a **non-refundable $250 / $125 submission fee** with a 3-referee-reports waiver, and a conditional accept that triggers the **JPE Data Editor** verifying a DCAS package deposited to the **JPE Dataverse**.

The single organizing question behind every JPE skill: **"What does economic theory predict here, and does the evidence bear it out?"** A Chicago referee will read the paper as an economic argument, not a regression table. Internal consistency of that argument is scrutinized harder than at most journals.

## When to trigger

- The user asks "what should I do next?" on a JPE-targeted paper
- A draft is handed over and the current bottleneck is unclear
