What it does
Aaag Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a topic fits the Annals of the American Association of Geographers and which of its four areas to target. Tests geographic significance and area fit; it does not design the study or write the paper.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

Credentials

From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Aaag Topic Selection loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 541 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Topic Selection & Area Fit (aaag-topic-selection)
The Annals is the AAG's broad four-area flagship. A topic earns a place by being geographic — space, place, scale, region, or spatial process is constitutive of the question — and by speaking to one of the journal's areas with enough reach that geographers outside that subfield see why it matters.
When to trigger
- Choosing a project, or deciding if a draft fits the Annals vs. a specialty venue
- A reviewer or colleague said "this isn't really geography" or "this is too narrow"
- Unsure whether to declare Geographic Methods, Human, Nature-Society, Physical, or General Geography
The two-part fit test
- Geographic-ness. Could you delete every spatial/place/scale element and keep the argument? If yes, it is not yet a geography paper — the geography must do theoretical work, not just locate data.
- Area reach. Within the declared area, would a geographer in a neighboring subfield see the stake? An over-narrow result that only its sub-sub-field cares about is an Annals off-fit.
Declare the area (it routes the paper and sets the bar)
| Area | Core of a strong topic | Off-fit signal |
|---|---|---|
| Geographic Methods | a method/model that improves geographic inference (spatial dependence, scale, MAUP, uncertainty) | a generic ML/stats trick with a coordinate column bolted on |
| Human Geography | a spatially/relationally theorized account of social process | a sociology/anthropology paper with a study-area map |
| Nature and Society | a coupled human-environment dynamic where both sides are theorized | one side asserted as backdrop to the other |
| Physical Geography, Earth & Environmental | an earth-surface/environmental process with geographic framing and earth-science rigor | a lab/RS result with no geographic question |
| General Geography | a contribution that reorders how all geographers see something | a paper that just won't pick an area |
Calibrating ambition (Annals vs. specialty venue)
- Specialty venue (e.g., IJGIS, Geomorphology, Environment and Planning D) when the audience is the sub-field and the advance is incremental within it.
- The Annals when the contribution is legible to the area broadly and connects to geographic theory or to a cross-cutting concern (scale, place, environment-society, spatial method).
- The cross-disciplinary/General track when the contribution genuinely spans areas.
Show full SKILL.md (198 more words)Show less
Sibling-journal guard (do not mis-pitch)
- Progress in Human Geography — review/agenda essays, not original empirical studies.
- Geographical Analysis — formal spatial-analytic methods; the Annals Methods area is broader and more applied.
- Transactions of the IBG / The Professional Geographer — overlapping scope; the Annals is the AAG's broad flagship with the four-area structure.
Worked micro-example (illustrative)
A draft asks "what predicts urban tree-canopy loss in City X?" and maps the result by census tract.
Delete-test: remove the map and "tract" → "what predicts canopy loss?" survives → geography decorative
Repair: reframe around SCALE — does the predictor of loss change with the unit/scale of analysis, and
what does that imply for where canopy is added? Now space is the argument, not the backdrop.
Area: Nature and Society (canopy = environment-society) or Methods (if the scale claim leads)
Reach: a methods reader gets a MAUP/scale lesson; a nature-society reader gets an equity mechanismThe repaired version makes the geography load-bearing and gives a neighboring subfield a reason to read.
Checklist
- The geography is load-bearing (delete-test passes)
- One area declared, with a one-line reason it belongs there
- A neighboring-subfield geographer can state the stake in a sentence
- Right venue confirmed (Annals vs. a specialty journal)
- Article type chosen (Article / Forum / Commentary) — see
aaag-workflow
Anti-patterns
- "Spatial decoration" — coordinates or a study-area map standing in for a geographic argument
- Pitching a specialty-venue increment to the broad flagship
- Refusing to pick an area (the paper lands with the wrong editor and reviewers)
- A Nature-Society topic that theorizes only the social or only the biophysical side
