What it does

Msom Contribution Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when turning analytical or empirical results into an explicit operations contribution for a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — stating the managerial implication, the new operational insight, and why an operations decision is central, including the structured-abstract framing M&SOM requires.

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.

When your agent uses it

  • Turning analytical
  • The new operational insight
  • Why an operations decision is central
  • Including the structured-abstract framing M&SOM requires

Example prompts

  • “/msom-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

Msom Contribution Framing loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 684 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
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 turning analytical or empirical results into an explicit operations contribution for a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — stating the managerial implication, the new operational insight, and why an operations decision is central, including the structured-abstract framing M&SOM requires.

Contribution Framing (msom-contribution-framing)

When to trigger

  • Results exist but the "so what for operations" is implicit or thin
  • A Department Editor says the contribution is incremental or the OM core is unclear
  • You are writing the introduction's contribution paragraph or the structured abstract
  • You must make the managerial implication explicit, not optional

Make the operational insight explicit

M&SOM judges manuscripts on importance, originality, clarity, validity, and relevance, and gates on an operations decision being central. State plainly: what operational decision does this paper change, and how? For analytical work, the contribution is usually the structure of the optimal policy and the comparative statics a manager can act on (e.g., "stock-up-to a threshold that rises in lead-time variability"). For empirical work, it is a credibly identified operational effect and the policy it implies. Avoid framing the contribution as a methodological novelty alone — the operations insight must lead.

Managerial relevance is a required, sectioned component

M&SOM requires a structured abstract (≤ 300 words, no technical jargon): Problem definition, Methodology-results, and Managerial implications. Managerial relevance is therefore not optional framing — it is an explicitly sectioned deliverable. Write the contribution paragraph and the abstract so each required section is answerable in one or two plain-language sentences a practitioner could follow.

Route the contribution to the right Department

Frame the contribution in the vocabulary of your target Department (supply chain, services/revenue management, sustainability/health, operational innovation, analytics, or practice). If the work is field-driven, consider whether the Practice Platform is the better home; a perspective piece is an OM Forum banner article, not a standard contribution.

Checklist

  • One sentence: the operational decision this paper changes and how
  • Analytical: policy structure + actionable comparative statics stated
  • Empirical: identified effect + the operational policy it implies stated
  • Structured abstract drafted with all three required sections, ≤300 words, jargon-free
  • Contribution framed in the target Department's terms
  • Operations centrality reaffirmed (not a method-only contribution)

Anti-patterns

  • Leading with "we develop a new model/estimator" and burying the operational insight.
  • A structured abstract missing the Managerial-implications section or stuffed with notation.
  • Claiming generic "implications for managers" with no operational lever named.
  • Framing the work outside any department's scope.

Contribution pass for Manufacturing & Service Operations Management

Run this as a concrete capability pass. First lock the process bottleneck, decision policy, queue/inventory/service mechanism, and implementation constraint; then test whether the manuscript addresses operations reviewers who look for service/manufacturing process insight, implementable policies, and operational performance evidence.

  • Primary move: Translate the result into who learns what, which mechanism changes, and which alternative explanation is ruled out; keep the claim narrower than the evidence.
  • Decision ledger: return claim / evidence / blocker / next edit rows so the next pass can patch the manuscript directly.
  • Sibling comparison: compare against Management Science for broader OR/MS reach, Production and Operations Management for wider OM readership, Operations Research for method-first theory; if the neighboring outlet has the stronger audience claim, recommend re-routing before polishing.
  • Verification floor: before submission-ready advice, re-open resources/official-source-map.md for volatile rules and name the one unresolved fact that could change the recommendation.

Worked micro-example (illustrative)

The premium clause M&SOM rewards is the managerial insight that survives the model — a sentence a department editor can repeat to a practitioner.

Vignette: a staffing model for a hospital emergency department where physicians flex between fast-track and main-track queues. Suppose the numerical study reports — illustratively — that flexing 15% of physician-hours cuts the 90th-percentile wait from 48 to 31 minutes at equal headcount. Through the contribution rules: the decision changed is the roster split between dedicated and flexible hours; the insight is that the optimal flex share rises in arrival-rate asymmetry between tracks; the managerial sentence — "hold about an eighth of capacity flexible when loads diverge" — slots into the Managerial-implications section.

Referee-pushback patterns and the venue fix

  • "Tractable, but the result has no managerial takeaway." → Add the decision rule plus its comparative static; lead with it, not the theorem.
  • "This is a Management Science / Operations Research paper — where is the operations decision?" → Re-anchor on the operating lever; cut framing that foregrounds the method's generality. If the managerial-implications subsection just restates results, rewrite it as plain-language advice with the magnitude attached.
