Use when deciding which molcell-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a manuscript from mechanism-fit test through reviewer rebuttal for Molecular Cell (Mol. Cell, Cell Press). Routes to the specialized skills — it does not replace them.

# Molecular Cell Workflow Router (molcell-workflow)

## Overview

This is the router. It does not do the work of any specialized skill; it names **which molcell-* skill fits the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *Molecular Cell* (Cell Press).

Default assumption: unless told otherwise, the target is **Molecular Cell** — the mechanism-focused molecular-biology flagship — not *Cell*, *Cell Reports*, *Molecular Cell*'s sibling *Structure*, or a field-specific title. The Cell Press family shares STAR Methods, the Key Resources Table, Highlights, the eTOC blurb, the Graphical Abstract, and (now) numbered references, but the venues differ sharply on what kind of advance they reward.

## The single most important idea about Molecular Cell

*Cell* asks "does this reframe a broad field?" **Molecular Cell asks a different question: "is the molecular mechanism worked out to the base-pair, residue, or single-molecule level, and proven by orthogonal approaches?"** Depth of mechanism beats breadth of implication here. A correlative or descriptive story — even a broadly interesting one — is rejected before review if the *how* is not nailed down biochemically and structurally/genetically. Route to `molcell-fit` first, always.
