What it does

Ijoc Contribution Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the one-sentence computational/methodological claim of an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript is not sharp, or the contribution reads as application rather than computing. Sharpens the "what is new and by how much"; it does not run the experiments that back it.

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.

When your agent uses it

  • The one-sentence computational/methodological claim of an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript is not sharp
  • The contribution reads as application rather than computing

Example prompts

  • “what is new and by how much”
  • “/ijoc-contribution-framing”

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

Ijoc Contribution Framing loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 549 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
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.

Contribution Framing (ijoc-contribution-framing)

When to trigger

  • You cannot state in one sentence what is computationally new and by how much
  • The intro frames an application win when the contribution should be the method
  • A coauthor or referee says "interesting but what is the actual contribution?"
  • The experiments are solid (ijoc-data-analysis) but the paper does not claim them crisply

The IJOC contribution sentence

A strong IJOC contribution sentence names the method, the axis of improvement, the magnitude, and the evidence regime — and is falsifiable. Template:

"We propose [method] for [OR problem]; it [wins on axis] by [magnitude] over [SOTA baseline] on [benchmark set], with [guarantee/property]."

Worked, illustrative: "We propose a Benders-with-lazy-cuts scheme for two-stage stochastic network design that solves instances 6× larger than the best published exact method on standard library instances within the same time limit, with a proof of cut validity and a 31% root-gap reduction." That sentence tells the Area Editor exactly what to verify.

Types of contribution IJOC rewards

Frame the contribution as one (or a clear combination) of these, and make the primary one unambiguous:

Contribution typeWhat makes it land at IJOCCommon failure
New exact method / formulationlarger solvable instances, tighter bounds, with validity proven"new model" with no computational edge
New heuristic/matheuristicbetter quality or time, fairly compared, ideally with a boundwin over a strawman baseline
ML-for-OR methodbeats both OR and prior learning baselines; feasibility safea black box with no OR baseline
New simulation/estimation methodlower variance/cost at equal accuracy, with theory"we simulated it" with no methodological news
Computational tooling/methodologyenables computations not previously feasible, reproduciblysoftware existence without a methodological claim

Application is the motivation, not the contribution

The most common framing error at IJOC is leading with the application ("we study airline crew scheduling") rather than the computing ("we design a column-generation acceleration that…"). State the application in one or two sentences as motivation, then pivot hard to the methodological news. If you remove the application and the paper still has a contribution, you are framed correctly; if it collapses, the computing is not yet the contribution — return to ijoc-topic-selection.

Calibrating the claim to the evidence

Overclaiming triggers referee distrust; underclaiming wastes a good result. Match the verb to the evidence: "proves," "guarantees" only with proofs; "consistently outperforms" only with a performance profile and a statistical test; "scales to" only with a scaling plot. Scope honestly by regime ("on sparse, large instances") rather than blanket dominance. The claim in the abstract, the intro, and the conclusion must be the same claim.

Checklist

  • One sentence states method + axis + magnitude + baseline + benchmark + property
  • The primary contribution type is unambiguous
  • The claim is computing-first; application is motivation only
  • Verbs match the evidence (prove/guarantee/outperform/scale) and nothing stronger
  • The claim is scoped by regime where a competitor still wins
  • Abstract, intro, and conclusion state the identical claim
  • Removing the application leaves a standing contribution

Anti-patterns

  • Leading with the application domain and burying the method
  • "We are faster/better" with no magnitude, baseline, or benchmark named
  • A contribution sentence that would fit Operations Research (model news) rather than IJOC (computing news)
  • Claiming guarantees the theory section does not prove
  • Different contribution wording in the abstract vs. the conclusion
  • Listing five small contributions with no headline — referees cannot tell what to evaluate
