What it does
Govern Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project fits Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions and how to frame it. The test is comparative/institutional significance for how the state governs — not single-country administrative novelty. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.
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.

- Deciding whether a project fits Governance: An International Journal of Policy

Example prompts
- “/govern-topic-selection”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- It is about governing. The object is executive politics, the policy process, public
- It travels. The mechanism or claim is portable across countries, levels of government, or policy
- It is a contribution, not a description. It revises a theory of the state/institutions/policy

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
Govern Topic Selection loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 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 & Fit (govern-topic-selection)
Governance is the leading journal of executive politics, public policy, public administration, and the organization of the state, read comparatively and internationally (Wiley-Blackwell, in association with IPSA RC27 — Structure & Organization of Government). The bar is not "new to one country's administration" — it is "changes how we understand governing across cases." Use this skill to pressure-test fit before you invest.
When to trigger
- Choosing among possible projects or framings for a Governance submission
- A reviewer/colleague said the paper feels "too descriptive" or "single-country case study only"
- Unsure whether the topic is in scope vs. corporate governance or a literature review
- Deciding how to frame an empirical finding so it speaks to comparative governance
The "is this a Governance question?" test
A strong Governance paper usually clears all four:
- It is about governing. The object is executive politics, the policy process, public administration, bureaucratic/institutional reform, governance networks, accountability, regulation, or the organization of the state — not corporate boards or firm governance.
- It travels. The mechanism or claim is portable across countries, levels of government, or policy
domains. A single rich case is welcome if it is a case of something general (see
govern-theory-buildingon concept formation). - It is a contribution, not a description. It revises a theory of the state/institutions/policy process, supplies a decisive comparative test, reconceptualizes a governance phenomenon, or corrects the record — not "this reform happened in country X."
- Credible on its own methodological terms. Quantitative, qualitative, comparative-historical, or
mixed — each is welcome and judged rigorously (see
govern-research-design).
Framing the contribution (reach past one case)
| If your material is… | Reach the comparative-institutional readership by… |
|---|---|
| One country's reform | naming the general mechanism (delegation, blame avoidance, layering) and saying what else it should predict |
| A cross-national dataset | foregrounding the institutional logic, not just the coefficient; what does it teach about governing? |
| An agency / bureaucracy study | tying it to accountability, capacity, or executive control as general phenomena |
| A policy-process episode | connecting to agenda-setting, instrument choice, or policy feedback theory that others can use |
| A governance-network case | showing what it reveals about coordination/authority beyond the single network |

Hard scope screen (route OUT if any is true)
- Corporate governance (firm boards, shareholders, corporate compliance) — hard out of scope.
- A literature review / state-of-the-field essay or a pure bibliometric / citation-mapping study — Governance typically does not publish these.
- A practitioner how-to with no theoretical contribution → likely PAR, not Governance.
- Pure regulatory-instrument design with no comparative/institutional reach → likely Regulation & Governance.
Length and shape (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)
Treat ≤ 9,000 words excluding citations/bibliography as the working cap (a third-party listing cites 3,000–5,000; treat the official 9,000 as binding, 待核实). Abstract ~150 words. Scope the question so it can be answered convincingly within that cap — a sprawling multi-country, multi-outcome design rarely fits.
Anti-patterns
- "This reform has not been studied in country X" as the whole contribution (descriptive, off-fit)
- Submitting a literature review or bibliometric map (out of scope)
- A study of corporate governance mistaking the journal's name
- A single case with no claim about what it is a case of
- Padding a sharp comparative point into a sprawling design that breaks the word cap
