Nature Reviewer Response — Router

This skill is split into two layers:

• A static layer under static/ that holds versioned, reusable content fragments (the default stance and red lines, and the response workflow with output format).
• A dynamic layer (this file plus manifest.yaml) that loads the core every time and reaches for the deeper response references or templates only when a step needs them.

Do not try to apply the response logic from memory or from this router. Always load fragments from disk as described below.

Routing protocol

Follow these four steps every time the skill is invoked.

1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read manifest.yaml. Then read every file listed under always_load:

• static/core/stance.md — the editor-facing purpose, the default stance, the red lines, and the source hierarchy that apply to every response job.
• static/core/workflow.md — accepted inputs, the revision correspondence workflow, and the output package format.
