What it does

Jms Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning the contribution against the literature for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — locating the paper in a named theoretical conversation and showing what it adds. Stakes the contribution; it does not build the mechanism (jms-theory-development) or write the closing contribution paragraph (jms-contribution-framing).

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.

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

  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging

Example prompts

  • “/jms-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

Jms Literature Positioning loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
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.

description
Use when positioning the contribution against the literature for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — locating the paper in a named theoretical conversation and showing what it adds. Stakes the contribution; it does not build the mechanism (jms-theory-development) or write the closing contribution paragraph (jms-contribution-framing).

Literature Positioning (jms-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • The literature review is a "camel train" — a chronological parade of citations with no argument
  • A reviewer says "I don't see what this adds" or "this conversation has moved on"
  • The paper cites broadly but never names the specific conversation it advances
  • Reviewers from two sub-fields disagree about which literature the paper belongs to
  • The framing oversells ("we are the first") or undersells (buries the contribution in a sub-clause)

The JMS positioning bar

At JMS, positioning is not a literature survey — it is an argument about where the conversation is stuck and how your paper unsticks it. Because JMS is pluralist and internationally oriented, you must position against the theoretical conversation (e.g., institutional logics, dynamic capabilities, entrepreneurial ecosystems, paradox theory), not merely the empirical topic. The strongest JMS contributions do one of a few recognisable moves; name yours explicitly.

Contribution archetypes — name your move

MoveWhat it looks likeRisk JMS reviewers flag
ExtendPush a theory into a new boundary, mechanism, or context"Incremental" if the extension is obvious
Challenge / reviseShow an accepted relationship reverses or is conditionalMust be airtight; reviewers defend the orthodoxy
ReconcileResolve a contradiction between two literaturesBoth literatures must be represented fairly
BuildInduce a new construct/process model from data (Path B)"Description, not theory" if not abstracted
BridgeImport a theory from another field to illuminate a management phenomenon"Borrowed badly" if the source logic is misused

Whatever the move, the contribution sentence should read: "The conversation about [X] assumes/overlooks [Y]; this paper shows [Z], which changes how we understand [X]."

Positioning craft for JMS

  • Construct a tension, not a gap. "Gap" framing invites "so fill it — who cares?" Tension framing ("the literature predicts both A and not-A under similar conditions") invites the reader to want your resolution.
  • Engage the closest, strongest work. Cite the most threatening adjacent paper and say precisely how you differ — JMS reviewers are often the authors of that work.
  • Position internationally where it matters. If your contribution turns on an institutional or national context, say why that context reveals something the (often US-centric) literature missed; this is a JMS strength.
  • Match the conversation to the venue. A strategy-economics conversation belongs at SMJ; a process-philosophy conversation at Organization Studies; a US large-N micro-OB conversation at AMJ/JoM. JMS wants a management/organization-theory conversation with a phenomenon at its core.

Checklist

  • One named theoretical conversation the paper advances (not just a topic area)
  • The contribution move is identified (extend / challenge / reconcile / build / bridge)
  • Positioning is built as a tension or puzzle, not a "gap"
  • The closest, most threatening prior work is cited and distinguished
  • International/contextual leverage is made explicit where the contribution depends on it
  • The contribution is neither over-claimed ("first ever") nor buried in a sub-clause
  • The conversation is a JMS conversation, not an SMJ / Organization Studies / AMJ one

Anti-patterns

  • The camel train: a chronological list of who-studied-what with no argument
  • Gap-spotting: "no one has examined X" as if absence were importance
  • Strawmanning the orthodoxy: a challenge move that misrepresents the view it overturns
  • Citation name-dropping: invoking a famous theory without engaging its actual claims
  • Venue mismatch: positioning in a strategy-economics or pure-process conversation that belongs elsewhere
  • Hedged contribution: the "so what" hidden in the discussion section instead of the intro

Output format

text
【Conversation】named theoretical conversation
【Move】extend / challenge / reconcile / build / bridge
【Tension】the puzzle or contradiction (not a gap)
【Closest prior work】[cite] — how we differ
【Contribution sentence】"the conversation assumes X; we show Z, changing understanding of …"
【Venue check】why JMS not SMJ/OrgStudies/AMJ
【Next step】jms-methods (or jms-contribution-framing to finalise the claim)
