What it does

Jpart Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript against the public-administration literature so it reads as a theory contribution, not a fresh data point. JPART expects engagement with the specific PA conversation (PSM, red tape, representation, performance, governance) the paper advances. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit 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. 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. Name the conversation, not a citation pile. Identify the specific PA debate — e.g., *does PSM
  2. Engage the theory you claim to test. If the paper is "about" representative bureaucracy or PSM,
  3. Name the gap as a theoretical one. Not "little is known about city X" — say what the theory

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

Jpart Literature Positioning loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 644 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~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 Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript against the public-administration literature so it reads as a theory contribution, not a fresh data point. JPART expects engagement with the specific PA conversation (PSM, red tape, representation, performance, governance) the paper advances. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the lit review.

Literature Positioning (jpart-literature-positioning)

JPART reviewers are public-management theorists. A paper that cites a pile of PA work but never names the conversation it advances reads as atheoretical and stalls. The goal is to place the paper inside a live PA debate and state precisely what it changes.

When to trigger

  • Drafting or revising the introduction and the "contribution" paragraph
  • A reviewer said you "missed the core PA literature" or "don't engage the theory you claim to test"
  • Your empirics are clean but the framing doesn't connect to a named PA theory
  • You need to distinguish your contribution from the closest prior JPART/PAR papers

How JPART wants the literature engaged

  1. Name the conversation, not a citation pile. Identify the specific PA debate — e.g., does PSM survive once selection is accounted for?, is red tape distinct from administrative burden?, does passive representation become active under which conditions? Cite the works that constitute it.
  2. Engage the theory you claim to test. If the paper is "about" representative bureaucracy or PSM, it must engage that theory's canonical statements and its current frontier — not a generic PA review.
  3. Name the gap as a theoretical one. Not "little is known about city X" — say what the theory mispredicts, under-specifies, or has never been tested against a credible design.
  4. Position the contribution as a move. "Theory T predicts effect E via mechanism M; we show M is conditional on C / fails under selection / is better explained by M′."
  5. Pre-empt the sibling-venue read. Make clear why this is a management-theory contribution, so a reviewer doesn't redirect it to PAR (too broad) or JPAM (policy analysis).

Contribution moves JPART reviewers can recognize

Pick one primary move and make the introduction serve it. Mixing several weak moves reads like a literature dump.

MoveWhat the manuscript must showWeak version to avoid
Boundary conditionA PA theory works only under condition C, with C justified theoretically"We found heterogeneity" with no theory for C
Mechanism correctionThe accepted explanation is replaced or refined by a better mechanismA mediation table without theoretical stakes
Construct clarificationA concept is separated from a neighbor (e.g., red tape vs. burden) with measurement logicRenaming old variables
Institutional translationA theory from another field changes when applied to public-sector institutionsImporting psychology/econ theory with no PA modification
Design adjudicationA credible design overturns or narrows a prior observational claim"Better data" without explaining the theoretical implication

Engagement depth by paper type

Paper typeLiterature it must engageThe trap to avoid
PSM / motivationthe PSM construct + measurement + endogeneity debatesciting Perry once and moving on
Representative bureaucracypassive→active representation, the conditions literaturea demographic correlation with no representation theory
Performance managementperformance-information-use + goal-ambiguity theoryreporting a performance correlation atheoretically
Behavioral PAthe psychology-into-PA program + prior experimentsa one-off experiment detached from PA theory
Collaborative/network governancegovernance/network theory it testsa case description with no governance mechanism

Positioning audit

Before drafting, write a one-paragraph map with these five sentences:

  1. The live JPART conversation is ___.
  2. The dominant theoretical expectation is ___ because ___.
  3. The closest paper has shown ___ but cannot distinguish ___ from ___.
  4. This manuscript changes the conversation by showing ___.
  5. The design can support that move because ___.

If sentence 5 is weak, go back to jpart-research-design before polishing the introduction. If sentence 4 is merely "we study a new place," narrow the venue or raise the theoretical move.

Anti-patterns

  • A "literature dump" with no organizing PA debate
  • Claiming to test a theory while engaging only adjacent empirical papers, not the theory itself
  • Hiding the closest competitor JPART/PAR paper
  • Self-citation that breaks anonymity (JPART is double-blind — cite your own work in the third person)
  • "First to study" framing when the contribution is incremental to PA theory

Output format

【Conversation】the live PA debate this paper advances
【Key works】the 3-6 that define it (incl. the theory's canonical statement)
【Gap】what the theory mispredicts / under-specifies / has never been tested against
【Move】how this paper changes the theory
【Move type】boundary / mechanism / construct / institutional translation / design adjudication
【Closest competitor】what it cannot adjudicate
【Venue signal】why it is a management-theory contribution (not PAR/JPAM)
【Next】jpart-theory-building
