From geb-skills
Routes manuscript work for Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) submissions by diagnosing the current bottleneck and directing to the appropriate geb-* sub-skill.

This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you **which geb-* skill to use at the current stage** of a manuscript aimed at *Games and Economic Behavior* (GEB).

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as GEB — the leading specialist game-theory journal, published by Elsevier and an official journal of the Game Theory Society (founded 1989 by Ehud Kalai; chief editor Hervé Moulin since 2021). GEB judges work on whether it advances the frontiers of game theory and its applications — theory, mechanism design, behavioral, and experiments — not general-economics interest alone. Its process is distinctive: the chief editor assigns each paper to one of seven Editors (your publicly known "Editor in Charge"), who routes it to an anonymous Advisory Editor and anonymous referees. About one-third of submissions are desk-rejected and only ~15% are eventually published. Re-verify volatile specifics (chief editor, the seven Editors, abstract cap, fees) on the official Guide for Authors; several are marked 待核实 in the source map.
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Result feels incremental / unclear it advances game theory itself | geb-topic-selection |
| Relation to the game-theory literature is fuzzy or undersold | geb-literature-positioning |
| The "so what for game theory" sentence is missing | geb-contribution-framing |
| Proofs are opaque, or assumptions/generality are under-examined | geb-identification-strategy |
| Experimental data / numerical examples need analysis or are under-powered | geb-data-analysis |
| Game trees, payoff matrices, or result tables are unclear | geb-tables-figures |
| Prose buries the model; abstract is over 250 words | geb-writing-style |
| Need a data/code-sharing plan (encouraged, not required at GEB) | geb-replication-and-data-policy |
| Want to understand the Editor-in-Charge review path before submitting | geb-review-process |
| Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need a preflight + cover letter | geb-submission |
| Received an R&R; need a response-letter strategy | geb-rebuttal |
geb-topic-selection — confirm the result advances game theory itselfgeb-literature-positioning — locate it against the game-theory frontiergeb-contribution-framing — state the one-sentence contribution to the fieldgeb-identification-strategy — assumptions, results, proof exposition, generalitygeb-data-analysis — experimental analysis / verified numerical examplesgeb-tables-figures — game trees, payoff matrices, clean result exhibitsgeb-writing-style — land the model for a general game-theory reader (abstract ≤250 words)geb-replication-and-data-policy — optional but recommended sharing plangeb-review-process — understand the Editor-in-Charge pathgeb-submission — Editorial Manager preflight + conference-version cover lettergeb-rebuttal — after the R&R
geb-writing-styleis a late-stage polish. Do not rewrite the introduction before the theorems and assumptions are settled — the statements will change.
