What it does
Bjps Theory Building is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building the theoretical argument of a British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) manuscript into a contribution of general interest — whether the work is formal/game-theoretic, empirical with explicit mechanisms, interpretive, or normative. BJPS rewards a clear, portable argument over a bare finding. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.
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.
When your agent uses it
- Empirical with explicit mechanisms
Example prompts
- “/bjps-theory-building”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Concept — define the key constructs precisely; distinguish from neighbours.
- Mechanism — the causal story: who does what, why, under what incentives/constraints.
- Observable implications — what we should see if the mechanism operates (and what we should
- Scope conditions — where the argument holds and where it does not. Portability ≠ universality.
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
Bjps Theory Building loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 566 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.

- description
- Use when building the theoretical argument of a British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) manuscript into a contribution of general interest — whether the work is formal/game-theoretic, empirical with explicit mechanisms, interpretive, or normative. BJPS rewards a clear, portable argument over a bare finding. Structures the argument; it does not run analyses.
Theory & Argument Building (bjps-theory-building)
At BJPS a result is not a contribution until it is attached to an argument the field can use elsewhere — across countries, cases, and subfields. This skill turns findings into theory: explicit mechanisms, scope conditions, and observable implications, in the idiom appropriate to your kind of work.
When to trigger
- The empirics are strong but the "so what / why" is thin
- A reviewer said the paper is "atheoretical," "ad hoc," or "just a finding"
- You need to state mechanisms, assumptions, and scope conditions explicitly
- Formal modeling: deciding what to model, what to assume, and what the model buys you
Build the argument (by mode of work)
Empirical paper with a theory
- Concept — define the key constructs precisely; distinguish from neighbours.
- Mechanism — the causal story: who does what, why, under what incentives/constraints.
- Observable implications — what we should see if the mechanism operates (and what we should
not see). These become the tests in
bjps-research-design. - Scope conditions — where the argument holds and where it does not. Portability ≠ universality.
Formal / game-theoretic paper
- State the substantive puzzle the model addresses before the setup.
- Keep assumptions transparent and motivated; flag which results are robust to which assumptions.
- Translate equilibrium predictions into comparative statics a reader can test or recognize.
- Say what the model buys: a non-obvious prediction, a resolution of a puzzle, a unifying logic.
Interpretive / normative paper
- Make the conceptual or normative stakes explicit and connect them to political life.
- Build the argument through reasons and texts, not hypotheses; engage the strongest counter-view.
- Show what the argument lets the field see or justify that it could not before.
The "portability" test (BJPS-specific)
Ask: Could a scholar studying a different country, or working in another subfield, import this
mechanism/concept to their own problem? If yes, you have a contribution of general interest. If the
argument only works for your exact case, tighten it into a general logic or reframe (back to
bjps-topic-selection). BJPS's international, cross-subfield readership is the audience for the
argument's portability.

Anti-patterns
- "Hypothesizing after results are known" (HARKing) — state theory before tests; preregister where possible
- A model with opaque assumptions chosen to produce the desired result
- Mechanisms named but never made observable
- A single-case generalization with no scope conditions, or a universal claim with none
- Burying the argument under the empirics — the contribution paragraph must state it plainly
Output format
【Core claim】one sentence
【Mechanism】the causal/logical story
【Assumptions】(formal) the load-bearing ones
【Observable implications】testable consequences → research-design
【Scope conditions】where it holds / fails (and across which cases)
【Portability】who else (which country/subfield) can use this argument
【Next】bjps-research-designReferee-pushback patterns and the BJPS-specific repair
- "This is a finding, not a contribution." → Attach the result to a mechanism with scope conditions and state the portable claim a scholar elsewhere could import.
- "The argument only works for this one country." → Generalize the logic: name the institutional or behavioural feature the case instantiates, and what other cases share it.
- "The model's assumptions are doing the work." → Flag which results survive which assumptions and motivate each; show the model buys a non-obvious comparative static.
- "Mechanism is asserted, not observable." → Translate it into observable implications (and a
disconfirming pattern) that
bjps-research-designcan test.
Calibration anchors (hedged)
- BJPS rewards a portable argument: the test is whether a comparativist studying a different country, or a scholar in another subfield, could carry the mechanism to their own problem.
- Methodological pluralism extends to theory-building: formal, empirical-mechanistic, interpretive, and normative arguments are all welcome, each judged in its own idiom — do not dress one as another.
