What it does

Aos Contribution Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when articulating what an Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS) manuscript contributes — converting findings into a claim that changes how the field understands accounting's social, organizational, behavioral or institutional operation. Frames the payoff; it does not produce new analysis (aos-data-analysis).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping and Data analysis. 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

  • Articulating what an Accounting
  • Institutional operation

Example prompts

  • “/aos-contribution-framing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate the puzzle and the answer in two or three sentences — conceptual language, not variable names.
  2. Spell out what each nearest prior paper must now concede or refine.
  3. Develop the theoretical implications: what the lens itself gains from the case (AOS values papers that give back to the imported theory…
  4. Bound the claim: scope conditions, site particularities, design limits — stated as analysis, not ritual humility.
  5. Open genuine next questions the reconceptualization makes visible.

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

Aos Contribution Framing loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 548 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 articulating what an Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS) manuscript contributes — converting findings into a claim that changes how the field understands accounting's social, organizational, behavioral or institutional operation. Frames the payoff; it does not produce new analysis (aos-data-analysis).

Contribution Framing (aos-contribution-framing)

When to trigger

  • Findings are solid but the discussion section restates them instead of arguing from them
  • The current contribution reads as "first evidence from setting X" or "extends literature Y"
  • You cannot answer, in one sentence, what a reader of the AOS canon now understands differently
  • A reviewer asks what the paper offers beyond the case / beyond the experiment

What counts as a contribution at AOS

The currency is conceptual: after your paper, readers should think differently about how accounting operates in organizations or society. Empirical novelty, clean identification, or an exotic setting are inputs, not contributions. Strong AOS contribution types:

TypeShape of the claim
New conceptNames and demonstrates a phenomenon the field lacked words for
MechanismShows how an accounting practice produces its organizational/social effect
Boundary conditionShows where a received account holds, fails, or reverses
ReconceptualizationRecasts a familiar practice (budgeting, audit, risk metrics) as doing different work than assumed
Process evidence(Experimental) locates the psychological process behind a known accounting effect
GenealogyShows how a present practice became possible and what it forecloses

Build the claim from the findings

  • Draft the contribution as one falsifiable-in-spirit sentence: "This paper shows that [accounting practice] [does what] through [mechanism/process], which [changes what] in [which conversation]."
  • Tie it to the crack identified in aos-literature-positioning: the contribution is the answer to that specific disagreement, not a free-floating insight.
  • Test transferability honestly: what about the claim travels beyond the site or the lab, and via what logic (theoretical generalization for field work; process generality for experiments)? Say so explicitly — overselling a single case is as damaging as underselling it.
  • Locate the implications where AOS expects them: for theory first; for practice, regulation, or policy second and only as far as the evidence carries.

The discussion section that delivers it

  1. Restate the puzzle and the answer in two or three sentences — conceptual language, not variable names.
  2. Spell out what each nearest prior paper must now concede or refine.
  3. Develop the theoretical implications: what the lens itself gains from the case (AOS values papers that give back to the imported theory, not just borrow from it).
  4. Bound the claim: scope conditions, site particularities, design limits — stated as analysis, not ritual humility.
  5. Open genuine next questions the reconceptualization makes visible.

Quick self-test

Read your contribution sentence to a colleague who knows the AOS canon but not your project. If their first question is "what was the effect size?" you framed an empirical claim; if it is "how does that square with [canonical paper]?" you framed a conceptual one — the AOS kind.

Checklist

  • Contribution stated in one sentence, conceptual in kind
  • Claim answers the specific crack the front end opened
  • Each nearest prior paper's required revision is named
  • Transferability argued through theory/process, not asserted through sample
  • The imported theory receives something back
  • Practice/policy implications sized to the evidence

Anti-patterns

  • Inventory framing: "we contribute to three literatures" followed by lists.
  • Setting-as-payoff: the exotic case presented as the point rather than the lens's occasion.
  • Managerialism: converting an interpretive study into consulting advice AOS never asked for.
  • Theory borrowed, nothing returned: heavy conceptual machinery with no reflection on what the case teaches the theory.
  • Contribution inflation: claims the evidence register or the design cannot back.
