From red-skills
Maps the end-to-end lifecycle of a Review of Economic Dynamics manuscript, routing to specialized RED skills for scope, submission, review, and replication.

Keep one block per project and tick gates as they clear:
RED PIPELINE — [paper short title]
G1 scope: dynamic mechanism named; model class chosen [date/✓]
G2 positioning: lineage map written; closest model identified [ ]
G3 discipline: calibration table complete; every target sourced [ ]
G4 computation: solver chosen; accuracy check passing [ ]
G5 exhibits: mechanism figure + fit table drafted [ ]
G6 archive: run-all reproduces exhibits; readme.txt drafted [ ]
G7 manuscript: abstract ≤250w; author-year refs; 1–6 keywords [ ]
G8 submission: fee path decided; ScienceDirect upload checked [ ]
G9 review: desk cleared; reviewer-clock expectations logged [ ]
G10 revision: point-by-point reply; archive re-run and re-sent [ ]
Gates G3–G6 are where RED differs most from a generalist target: they exist because SED-community referees re-derive calibrations and sometimes re-execute code.
| Observed failure | Gate | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Headline number moves when the grid is refined | G4 | red-identification-strategy |
| Untargeted moments badly missed | G3 | red-data-analysis |
| Reader cannot restate the mechanism after the intro | G1/G2 | red-contribution-framing |
| Archive fails a clean-machine rerun | G6 | red-replication-and-data-policy |
