What it does

Jim Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when locating a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript inside the international marketing literature — mapping the conversation, building the positioning table, and pre-empting the "incremental extension" verdict. It positions the claim; jim-contribution-framing writes the payoff.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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

  • Locating a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript inside the international marketing literature — mapping the conversation
  • Building the positioning table
  • Pre-empting the incremental extension verdict

Example prompts

  • “incremental extension”
  • “/jim-literature-positioning”

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

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

Jim Literature Positioning loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 682 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 (jim-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • The front end lists citations but does not name the conversation being advanced
  • A reviewer could plausibly write "this is Cavusgil and Zou with newer data"
  • The related-work section reads as an undergraduate survey of international marketing
  • Coauthors disagree about which literature the paper primarily speaks to

Name the conversation, then the vacancy

A JIM front end must do two things in order: identify the specific stream within international marketing the paper joins, and show the vacancy in that stream the paper fills. Streams have recognizable anchors — use them:

  • Export marketing & performance: the strategy–performance tradition since Cavusgil and Zou (1994, JM) and the performance-measurement discipline of Katsikeas, Leonidou, and Morgan (2000, JAMS); capability extensions in Morgan, Katsikeas, and Vorhies (2012, JAMS).
  • Global marketing strategy: the standardization–adaptation debate consolidated by Zou and Cavusgil's (2002, JM) GMS framework.
  • Global branding & country image: perceived brand globalness (Steenkamp, Batra, and Alden 2003, JIBS), global–local brand tension (Özsomer 2012, JIM), local vs. nonlocal origin (Batra et al. 2000, JCP).
  • Cross-cultural consumer behavior: values-based segmentation, ethnocentrism/animosity, and the methodological spine of Steenkamp and Baumgartner (1998, JCR) on measurement invariance.
  • International entrepreneurship: born globals (Knight and Cavusgil 2004, JIBS).
  • Emerging markets: the rethink agenda opened by Sheth (2011, JM).

The vacancy must be a live gap: something the stream's recent papers explicitly flag, disagree about, or systematically fail to test — not merely "no one has studied Z in country Y."

Build the positioning table early

Draft the comparison table before writing the front end; it disciplines every claim.

ColumnContentJIM-specific note
Study5–8 closest papersat least 2–3 from JIM itself — show you know the house conversation
Theory lenscultural / institutional / distance / GCCreveals whether your lens is genuinely new
Countries & designN countries, matched?, invariance tested?the column where many rivals quietly fail
Level of analysisconsumer / firm / dyad / countryexposes cross-level gaps
Key findingone line eachsets up the disagreement or silence you resolve
This paperthe differentiated rowmust differ on ≥2 columns, one of them theoretical

If your row differs only in the "Countries" column, the paper is a context extension — stop and return to jim-theory-development.

Three positioning moves that work at JIM

  1. Resolve a cross-national inconsistency. Show that published effects disagree across studies run in different countries, and offer the theorized moderator that reconciles them.
  2. Upgrade an assumed-universal mechanism. Take a mechanism the domestic literature treats as universal, show theoretically why it should be culture- or institution-bound, and test the boundary.
  3. Theorize a new cross-border phenomenon. Digital-era phenomena (cross-border platforms, global influencer endorsement, AI-mediated localization) that the canon predates — anchor them to the closest classic stream rather than claiming a literature-free novelty.

Placement discipline in the manuscript

JIM papers carry positioning in the introduction (the conversation, the vacancy, the answer — within the first two pages) and a compact theoretical background section; there is no separate "literature review" chapter. Every cited work must earn its place by shaping a hypothesis or a design choice. With a 50-page all-inclusive cap, a bloated front end is paid for with amputated robustness sections later.

Checklist

  • One primary stream named, with its anchor citations verified against the actual sources
  • The vacancy is live: flagged, contested, or untested in recent work — not just unstudied
  • Positioning table drafted; "this paper" row differs on ≥2 columns including theory
  • At least 2–3 recent JIM papers engaged substantively, not ceremonially
  • Country-coverage and invariance columns expose what prior work lacked
  • Front-end positioning fits inside two pages of the introduction
  • Every exemplar citation checked against the real paper (venue, year, claim)

Anti-patterns

  • "To the best of our knowledge, no study has examined X in country Y" — the vacancy JIM does not accept
  • Positioning against the domestic marketing literature only, as if international work did not exist
  • A wall of citations with no stated disagreement, silence, or inconsistency to resolve
  • Misattributing canon papers (wrong venue or wrong claim) — reviewers in this field know these papers cold
  • Claiming novelty over a stream while omitting the JIM papers already inside it
  • Differentiating purely on sample geography
