What it does
Humrel Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a question belongs in Human Relations (HR) and how to frame it for the journal's interdisciplinary work-and-society audience. Tests fit and sharpens the question; it does not develop the theory or invent evidence.
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.
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.

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 Topic Selection loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 577 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 (humrel-topic-selection)
When to trigger
- You have a workplace/organizational phenomenon but are unsure it is an HR question rather than a sibling-journal question
- The puzzle is interesting empirically but you cannot yet say what social-theoretical understanding it would advance
- A coauthor asks "is this Human Relations, Organization Studies, JMS, or Work, Employment and Society?"
- The topic is timely (AI at work, platform labour, hybrid work, inequality) and you need it to be more than topical
What makes a question an HR question
HR is the interdisciplinary social-science journal of relationships at and around work. Its self-description is the test: research that advances "our understanding of social relationships at and around work through theoretical development and empirical investigation." Three things travel together for a strong HR topic:
- The relational/social core. The phenomenon is about people in relation — power, identity, meaning, conflict, control, solidarity, emotion, institutions — not a firm-level performance lever or an isolated individual trait. If the question could be answered without reference to social relations, it is probably not HR.
- A theoretical stake, declared early. HR runs an editorial scoping screen and demands "a unique and substantive theoretical contribution"; "suitable data are a necessary but not sufficient feature to get to full peer review." A topic that is only descriptive or only managerial-prescriptive will not clear the screen.
- Interdisciplinary reach. HR draws on sociology, psychology, organization studies, and critical theory. The best topics speak to a conversation readers from more than one tradition recognize.
Sibling boundaries — where the topic should and should not go
| If the centre of gravity is… | The natural home is… | HR's distinct angle |
|---|---|---|
| US-style hypothesis test of an OB effect | AMJ | HR wants theory + social context, methods plural, not a moderated-mediation template |
| A debate internal to organization theory / paradigms | Organization Studies (EGOS) | HR is broader social science of work, less paradigm-internal |
| Managerial relevance / strategy / the firm | JMS | HR foregrounds the social relation, not managerial payoff |
| Employment, labour markets, class, work sociology | Work, Employment and Society | HR pulls the case up to organizational/relational theory, not labour-market description |
| A purely critical/deconstructive intervention | Organization | HR welcomes critique but rewards a constructive, generative theoretical contribution |

How to sharpen the question
- State the phenomenon as a puzzle or tension ("workers say X yet do Y"), not a topic label.
- Name the conversation it joins and the prior it could unsettle (feeds
humrel-literature-positioning). - Identify which HR readers would care (organizational sociologists? critical scholars? work psychologists?) and which would desk-screen it as out of scope.
- Decide the likely archetype (ethnographic, critical, quantitative, mixed, theory) early — it sets the chain entry point in
humrel-workflow.
Checklist
- The question is about social relationships at/around work, not a firm-performance lever
- A theoretical stake is stated, not just an empirical gap or a timely topic
- The target conversation and the prior it could overturn are named
- You can say why it is HR and not OS / JMS / AMJ / WES / Organization
- At least one HR reader segment would find it non-obvious and important
- Process facts cited (length, review model, portal) trace to
resources/official-source-map.mdor are marked 待核实
Anti-patterns
- A "hot topic" (AI, hybrid work) with no relational mechanism or theoretical stake
- A managerial how-to or performance-optimization question dressed as organizational research
- A descriptive case that never rises above its setting to organizational theory
- Framing so generic the journal name could be swapped without changing a word
- Treating the editorial scoping screen as a formality rather than the first real gate
