What it does

Humrel Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when staking a Human Relations (HR) manuscript's contribution against the relevant scholarly conversation and adjacent journals. Positions the paper; it does not develop the theory or run analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Staking a Human Relations (HR) manuscripts contribution against the relevant scholarly conversation and adjacent journals
  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging

Example prompts

  • “/humrel-literature-positioning”

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

Humrel Literature Positioning loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 542 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Literature Positioning (humrel-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • The theory exists (from humrel-theory-development) but its novelty relative to the conversation is fuzzy
  • Your literature review is an annotated bibliography, not an argument that creates a gap
  • A reviewer says "this has been done," or cannot tell what is new versus prior work
  • The paper could plausibly be read as an OS, JMS, AMJ, WES, or Organization paper and you must show why it is HR

Position against a conversation, not a topic pile

HR expects the literature to be marshalled into an argument that earns the contribution. The journal's own guidance is to "review recent issues to ensure that you are connecting to any relevant works in ways that take the conversation forward." So:

  • Identify the specific conversation (e.g., identity work under precarity; algorithmic control; emotion and care work; institutional maintenance) and its current settled view.
  • State the tension, gap, or anomaly in that view — what it cannot explain, gets wrong, or has overlooked.
  • Show how your mechanism (from humrel-theory-development) resolves or reframes it. The literature exists to set up the prior your paper overturns; it is not a tour.
  • Cite into HR itself. HR papers are expected to be in dialogue with recent HR articles and the broader Tavistock-tradition conversation; an HR submission that ignores the journal's own active debates reads as a poor fit.

Make the contribution legible at the scoping screen

Because HR screens for "a unique and substantive theoretical contribution" before full review, the positioning must be visible early: the introduction should let a handling editor see, within a page or two, which conversation you advance and how. A buried or hedged contribution is a scoping-screen risk.

Sibling differentiation — write the boundary explicitly

Reviewers will ask "why here?" Pre-empt it.

Adjacent venueWhat it would rewardWhat HR adds / requires
Organization Studies (EGOS)a contribution internal to organization theory / paradigm debatebroader interdisciplinary social science of work
Journal of Management Studiesmanagerial relevance, the firm, strategythe social relation as the object, managerial payoff secondary
Academy of Management Journala clean US-style empirical test of an OB hypothesistheory + social context, plural methods, not a template
Work, Employment and Societysociology of work, labour markets, classthe case theorized up into organizational/relational theory
Organizationcritical/deconstructive interventioncritique that is generative, with a constructive theoretical claim

If your draft fits a sibling better, that is a routing finding, not a defect — flag it back to humrel-topic-selection.

Checklist

  • The target conversation and its settled view are named precisely
  • The gap is an argued tension/anomaly, not "little is known about X"
  • The contribution is legible in the first two pages (scoping-screen safe)
  • Recent HR articles and the journal's active debates are engaged
  • An explicit boundary distinguishes HR from OS / JMS / AMJ / WES / Organization
  • No straw-manning of prior work; the field is represented fairly
  • SAGE Harvard (author-date) citations used consistently (检索于 2026-06)

Anti-patterns

  • A "literature dump": every adjacent study summarized, no argument built
  • "Little is known about X" as a substitute for a real gap
  • Citing none of HR's own recent conversation while claiming HR fit
  • Straw-manning prior work to inflate the gap
  • A contribution so hedged the scoping editor cannot locate it
  • Positioning that would read identically for a sibling journal
