Amann Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when judging whether a management/organization literature is an Academy of Management Annals (Annals)-scale review topic — mature, important, fragmented, and integrable into a new framework — rather than a narrow review. Decides fit and frames the review's animating problem; it does not gather the literature (amann-literature-synthesis) or write the proposal (amann-proposal-framing).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Amann Topic Selection loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 714 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.
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.

| Situation | Verdict | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Mature, broadly important, fragmented, integrable, tractable | Annals-shaped | → amann-proposal-framing |
| Important but immature | Not yet | revisit in 2–3 years; place a focused piece elsewhere |
| Mature but narrow / specialist | Wrong venue | field-journal review section, or Journal of Management |
| Mature, important, but enormous (whole discipline) | Rescope | pick a coherent axis; → amann-organizing-framework to test the cut |
| You have new theory, not a review | Wrong venue | Academy of Management Review (AMR) |
| You have new data / hypothesis tests | Wrong venue | Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) |
An Annals review is organized by a problem with the field, not a topic label. Before proposing, write one sentence of each:
【Literature】<the body of research>
【Five tests】maturity / importance / fragmentation / integrability / tractable-scope — pass or fail each
【Animating problem】"This field is fragmented/contradictory in ___ way"
【Integrative payoff】<the new way of seeing the field — seed of the framework>
【Why now】<new work / method shift / fractured debate>
【Agenda】<what becomes researchable after the review>
【Coverage skeleton】<3–6 research streams the review must cover>
【Verdict】Annals-shaped / rescope / wrong-venue (→ AMR / AMJ / field-review)

Systematic literature-review workflow for academic, biomedical, technical, and scientific topics, including search planning, source screening, synthesis, citation checks, and evidence logging.
bytedance/deer-flow
Searches arXiv across many papers on one topic, extracts each paper's methodology and findings in parallel, and synthesizes a cited literature review.
K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
Runs systematic, scoping or narrative literature reviews across PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv and Semantic Scholar, with citation checks and Markdown or PDF output.
Yuan1z0825/nature-skills
Runs a daily literature pipeline: multi-source search, six-dimension scoring, fine reading, formatted delivery to a chat channel and archival of the notes.
anthropics/skills
Adds a matching Claude Academy course, tutorial or use case to the end of an answer about learning to use Claude, but only when the match is strong.

Amann Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when judging whether a management/organization literature is an Academy of Management Annals (Annals)-scale review topic — mature, important, fragmented, and integrable into a new framework — rather than a narrow review.
Amann Topic Selection fits situations like: judging whether a management/organization literature is an Academy of Management Annals (Annals)-scale review topic — mature; integrable into a new framework — rather than a narrow review.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill amann-topic-selection -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Academy-of-Management-Annals-Skills/skills/amann-topic-selection in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/amann-topic-selection in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill amann-topic-selection -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (Academy-of-Management-Annals-Skills/skills/amann-topic-selection in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/amann-topic-selection in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill amann-topic-selection -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/amann-topic-selection, .gemini/skills/amann-topic-selection, .github/skills/amann-topic-selection and .opencode/skills/amann-topic-selection in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Amann Topic Selection is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Amann Topic Selection is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
