What it does

Amann Evidence Standards is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when appraising the cumulative evidence and ensuring balance in an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review — weighing conflicting findings by credibility, steelmanning rival schools, and handling the author's own work even-handedly. Audits evidence quality and fairness; it does not design the framework (amann-organizing-framework) or build exhibits (amann-tables-figures).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Steelmanning rival schools
  • Handling the authors own work even-handedly

Example prompts

  • “/amann-evidence-standards”

What it can do on your machine

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.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Amann Evidence Standards loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 763 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

description
Use when appraising the cumulative evidence and ensuring balance in an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review — weighing conflicting findings by credibility, steelmanning rival schools, and handling the author's own work even-handedly. Audits evidence quality and fairness; it does not design the framework (amann-organizing-framework) or build exhibits (amann-tables-figures).

Evidence Standards — Appraisal & Balance (amann-evidence-standards)

When to trigger

  • The framework is set and you are filling cells with the literature
  • The field has rival schools, a live controversy, or conflicting empirical results
  • You must decide whether to cite everything or curate, and how to weigh disagreeing studies
  • You are a contributor to this literature and worry the review tilts toward your own work

At Annals you are the field's reviewer-of-record

An Annals review carries no estimates of its own — but it is not therefore neutral. The "attitude" is disciplined critical appraisal: you judge how good the cumulative evidence is, reconcile conflicts by credibility, and state where the field's confidence is and is not warranted. This is the review-craft replacement for primary-research robustness checks: you are appraising other people's designs, not defending your own.

Completeness vs. selectivity: the Annals contract

A review must be comprehensive in coverage yet selective in emphasis — long (~50 pages) but not an inventory. Resolve the tension by tiering the corpus:

TierTreatment
Foundational / field-definingdiscussed in text — what it established and its limits
Important contributionsgrouped and weighed within the framework's cells; cited with their finding
Confirmatory / incrementalcited in clusters ("see also …") to show coverage without bloating prose
Tangentialcited only where it bears on a specific claim

Comprehensiveness is proven by the citation set (the saturation log from amann-literature-synthesis); selectivity is exercised in the prose. Equal-length summaries of every paper abdicate the editorial judgment that is the review's value.

Weighing conflicting evidence (not vote-counting)

Management findings conflict constantly. Reconcile them by why they differ, never by tally:

  • Weigh by credibility. Design strength (causal vs. correlational), sample, measurement validity, replication, and publication-bias risk — not "9 studies positive, 4 negative."
  • Separate by construct and context. Studies often disagree because they measure different constructs or run in different settings; surface that rather than forcing a false consensus.
  • Flag the cumulative-evidence quality. State plainly where the evidence is strong, mixed, or thin — and where apparent consensus rests on a few non-independent studies.
  • Name what would settle it. For a live debate, specify the study design that would resolve it (this seeds the agenda).

When appraisal needs an actual number (execution bridge)

Occasionally a credibility judgment cannot be settled by reading alone: the review's account of a controversy hinges on whether a staggered-adoption TWFE estimate survives modern corrections, or an apparent consensus may melt once publication bias is priced in. When a load-bearing magnitude comes with a replication package, audit it rather than adjudicate by prose — the shared playbook execution-with-mcp maps each design family to callable StatsPAI / Stata MCP tools (bacon_decomposition to expose bad-comparison weighting, callaway_santanna to re-estimate, honest_did_from_result for pre-trend fragility). Any number produced this way must come from an actual run and be labelled as the review's own re-analysis. This is the exception, not the Annals default: most appraisal here stays qualitative.

Fairness across schools and the self-citation trap

Annals is the review-of-the-field: its account of a debate becomes the field's shared reference, and the surveyed authors often referee the review. Balance is therefore both ethical and strategic.

  • Steelman every camp. State each school's strongest case in terms its proponents would accept before critiquing it. Refute positions at their best.
  • Attribute ideas to originators, not popularizers — a recurring referee complaint.
  • Audit self-citation. Your own work is cited at the tier its importance to the field warrants — no more. Rivals get their strongest statement. A reader who does not know who wrote the review cannot tell from the emphasis.
  • Label your read as your read. Where you take a provocative position (the "attitude"), mark it as the author's judgment, not as settled consensus.

Checklist

  • Corpus tiered (foundational / important / confirmatory / tangential); prose emphasis matches tier
  • Comprehensiveness provable from the citation set + saturation log
  • Conflicting findings reconciled by credibility, construct, and context — not vote-counting
  • Cumulative-evidence quality stated (strong / mixed / thin) per claim
  • Every rival school stated at its strongest before critique (steelman)
  • Idea attribution traces to originators
  • Self-citation audited: own work at field-warranted tier; emphasis identity-blind
  • Provocative positions labelled as the author's read; what-would-settle-it named for live debates
  • No important author/school an informed referee could say was slighted or omitted

Anti-patterns

  • Comprehensiveness theatre: equal-length summaries of every paper (no editorial judgment)
  • Vote-counting conflicting results instead of weighing credibility, construct, and context
  • Treating all findings as equally credible regardless of design quality
  • Strawmanning the camp the author disagrees with (the referee may be that camp)
  • A review that doubles as the author's CV (the most-punished balance failure)
  • Declaring a live controversy "resolved" by assertion rather than by laying out the evidentiary state
