From joc-skills
Routes JoC manuscript authors to the correct sub-skill based on format (original article, Forum, special issue) and lifecycle stage (idea, design, analysis, writing, submission, rebuttal).

The orchestrator for a JoC submission. Figure out the stage and the format, then send the user to the matching skill. JoC is the flagship, field-wide journal of the International Communication Association — the router's first job is to make sure the paper is pitched to communication research broadly, not just one subfield or platform.
joc-rebuttal)| Situation | Format | Route to |
|---|---|---|
| Full original study, broad significance | Original article (main doc ≤ 35 pages) | normal pipeline below |
| Short, argument-driven contribution | JoC Forum (3,000–6,000 words) | normal pipeline, tighter scope |
| Responding to a themed call | Special issue | joc-topic-selection (fit to the call) + pipeline |
| Prospective design, data not yet collected | preregister first | joc-open-science-and-transparency early |
If the design is prospective, preregister and plan Open Science Badge materials before collecting data — note the preregistration in the cover letter at submission.

Iterate: most papers loop theory ↔ design ↔ analysis several times before writing-style.
Treat this skill as an executable review pass, not a prose hint. First lock the communication process, platform/media setting, construct measurement, and study design; then judge whether the current manuscript answers the venue's real reader: communication reviewers who balance theory, media context, measurement, and social implications.
