curranthro-workflow

Use when starting or navigating any Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript as the entry point. Routes to the right CA sub-skill based on lifecycle stage, subfield (sociocultural, archaeology, biological, linguistic), and article type (Major Article under the CA✩ Treatment, Report, Forum, Discussion/Comment). It dispatches; it does not draft content.

# CA Workflow Router (curranthro-workflow)

The orchestrator for a *Current Anthropology* submission. Figure out the **stage**, the **subfield**,
and the **article type**, then send the user to the matching skill. CA is the transnational, all-fields
journal **published by the University of Chicago Press for the Wenner-Gren Foundation**, and its defining
feature is the **CA✩ Treatment**: an accepted Major Article is circulated to invited commentators whose
**signed Comments are published alongside it**, followed by the **author's Reply**. The router's first
job is to make sure the work is built to *survive and reward* that public, multi-voice scrutiny.

## When to trigger

- Starting a new CA paper and unsure where to begin
- Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
- Deciding which **article type** fits (Major Article vs. Report vs. Forum vs. Discussion/Comment)
