What it does

Jedpsych Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a Journal of Educational Psychology manuscript against the educational-psychology literature. JEP gives more room than a short-report journal (up to ~12,000 words), but the contribution must still be stated as a precise advance over the closest prior learning/instruction work, not a survey. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 and Literature review. 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.

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Open with the educational question and its stakes. Why this learning/motivation/achievement
  2. Name the gap precisely. What is unresolved, contested, or untested in the literature on this

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

Jedpsych Literature Positioning loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 positioning a Journal of Educational Psychology manuscript against the educational-psychology literature. JEP gives more room than a short-report journal (up to ~12,000 words), but the contribution must still be stated as a precise advance over the closest prior learning/instruction work, not a survey. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature review.

Literature Positioning (jedpsych-literature-positioning)

The Journal of Educational Psychology allows a fuller introduction than a short-report venue — manuscripts generally run up to 12,000 words (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准) — but length is not license to survey. Positioning must establish the open question in learning/instruction, the closest prior work, and the precise advance your study makes. JEP reviewers are subject-matter experts who know the relevant literature cold, so a vague or selective review reads as a weak contribution, not a thorough one.

When to trigger

  • Drafting or restructuring the Introduction
  • A reviewer said the contribution is "incremental," "not novel," or "ignores X's work"
  • You have a sprawling background section that buries the question
  • Connecting a specific finding to a broad educational-psychology question

How to position

  1. Open with the educational question and its stakes. Why this learning/motivation/achievement problem matters for theory and for practice — not a textbook history of the construct.
  2. Name the gap precisely. What is unresolved, contested, or untested in the literature on this instruction or process — and why settling it matters for educational psychology. Avoid "little is known."
  3. State the contribution early. By the end of the Introduction the reader knows the question, the design, and what is new (novel mechanism test, classroom-level evidence for a lab effect, boundary condition, longitudinal trajectory, or rigorous replication in an authentic setting).
  4. Engage the closest prior studies directly. Cite the work that defines the question and the studies you extend or overturn; explain how your design improves on theirs (nesting, power, measurement, ecological validity). Reviewers at JEP know who you skipped.
  5. Make the practice link explicit. Connect the contribution to instruction, assessment, or policy so the editor sees the educational payoff, not psychology in the abstract.

Replications and extensions

  • Frame a replication around why it matters now (a fragile but influential prior result, a move from lab to classroom, a new population) — not as bare repetition. Extensions should state the new boundary, mechanism, or grade/subject context tested.

Citation triage (depth without sprawl)

JEP has room for a real literature engagement, but every citation should earn a role. Sort candidates and prune redundancy.

RoleKeep?Why it earns a slot at JEP
Defines the open learning/instruction questionalwaysthe gap is not legible without it
Closest prior study you extend / overturnalwaysthis is the contribution's contrast class
Theory/mechanism sourcealwaysJEP is theory-driven; mechanism must be grounded
Measurement / construct provenanceusuallyreviewers check construct validity of learning measures
Practice / policy anchorone or twothe educational-relevance signal editors screen for
Background-completeness citationprunedepth on the contrast class beats breadth of coverage

Worked micro-example (illustrative)

A field trial positions against an influential but lab-bound strategy-instruction finding. Weak framing: "A large literature has studied reading-comprehension strategies (refs 1–40)." Venue-fit framing:

Stakes:   Whether explicit strategy instruction transfers to novel-text
          comprehension is a load-bearing claim for reading curricula.
Gap:      The strongest demonstrations are short lab studies with researcher-
          delivered scripts; classroom-level, teacher-delivered effects on
          transfer under realistic conditions are largely untested.
Contribution (stated by the end of the Introduction):
          A cluster-randomized, teacher-delivered trial (48 classrooms) tests
          the classroom-level transfer effect AND its metacognitive mediator.
Practice: Speaks directly to whether the strategy belongs in core instruction.

Positioning-stage reviewer pushback and the venue fix

Reviewer pushbackJEP fix
"Contribution is incremental"name the decisive advance (level, mechanism, setting), not a longer literature tour
"Ignores [closest study]"engage it directly; explain how your design improves on it
"First to show" overclaimdowngrade to "first classroom-level / teacher-delivered test of"; cite priors honestly
"No educational relevance argued"add the instruction/assessment/policy link the editor screens for
"Reads as a survey"cut chronological coverage; deepen the contrast class

Anti-patterns

  • A long, chronological literature review that buries the question
  • Citing exhaustively to seem thorough instead of engaging the closest prior work
  • Omitting the obvious nearest study a JEP expert reviewer will know
  • "First to show" claims for an incremental effect
  • Positioning only within psychology with no educational-practice payoff

Output format

【Question + stakes】why it matters for learning theory and practice
【Gap】what is unresolved / contested / untested
【Contribution】novel mechanism / classroom-level / boundary / longitudinal / replication — stated early?
【Contrast class】the closest prior studies engaged directly
【Practice link】who in education inherits the claim
【Next】jedpsych-study-design
