What it does

Newms Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when situating a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript in the right interdisciplinary conversation and naming the specific gap or rival account it advances. Builds the positioning; it does not build the theory or design.

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.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Map the conversation(s). Identify the 2-4 debates your paper touches and the leading position in
  2. Name the gap as a disagreement, not an absence. "No one has studied X on platform Y" is weak.
  3. State the rival account you will displace or extend. Who would predict the opposite, and why?
  4. Claim the seam. Show what becomes visible only when you connect the two literatures — the

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.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands 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

Newms Literature Positioning loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 504 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63

~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.

Literature Positioning (newms-literature-positioning)

NM&S is interdisciplinary, so positioning is harder than at a single-field journal: a paper on algorithmic management must speak to both the platform-labor literature and the surveillance/datafication literature, and show how they connect. The goal is to place the contribution in a live debate that crosses fields, then state precisely what it changes.

When to trigger

  • Building the related-work section or the gap statement
  • A reviewer said you "missed key work," "ignored a whole field," or "reinvented an existing concept"
  • Deciding which conversation your paper is in when several are plausible

How NM&S positioning differs

  • Two-or-more literatures, braided. Most NM&S papers sit at an intersection. Name each relevant literature, then show the seam your work stitches — that seam is often the contribution.
  • Concepts travel across fields; cite their origins honestly. "Affordances," "context collapse," "networked publics," "platformization," "datafication," "the digital divide" each have a lineage. Cite where the concept came from, not just the latest paper that used it.
  • International and cross-disciplinary by design. NM&S reaches beyond the US/Anglophone canon; engage relevant work from other regions and traditions rather than a single national literature.

The positioning moves

  1. Map the conversation(s). Identify the 2-4 debates your paper touches and the leading position in each. Group by argument, not chronology.
  2. Name the gap as a disagreement, not an absence. "No one has studied X on platform Y" is weak. "The literature treats privacy as individual control, but networked platforms make it relational" is a real opening.
  3. State the rival account you will displace or extend. Who would predict the opposite, and why?
  4. Claim the seam. Show what becomes visible only when you connect the two literatures — the interdisciplinary payoff NM&S rewards.

Positioning patterns that land at NM&S

PatternMoveRisk it avoids
Bridge two literaturesname both, show the seam"siloed in one subfield"
Re-specify a travelling conceptgive "affordance"/"datafication" a sharper definitionconcept used loosely
Challenge a dominant framingname the orthodoxy, then complicate it"merely confirms what we know"
Extend a Global-North claim to a new contexttest scope conditions, not just replicate"Western-centric"

Worked micro-example (illustrative)

Two literatures: (a) platform-labor (control via ratings/algorithms); (b) surveillance studies
  (dataveillance, sorting).
Gap as disagreement: platform-labor work treats the algorithm as a managerial tool; surveillance work
  treats data as sorting — neither explains how workers *internalize* opaque ranking as self-discipline.
Rival displaced: the "resistance" reading (workers game the system) — we show pre-emptive compliance.
Seam claimed: "datafied control" links managerial design to surveillant subjectivity — the contribution.

Calibration anchors

  • Braid, don't list. A wall of citations in one field signals you missed the interdisciplinary point.
  • Honor concept lineages. Citing the latest user of "context collapse" but not its origin reads as shallow reading to a cross-field referee.
  • Gap = disagreement. If your gap is just "understudied," the positioning is not done.
  • Go international. NM&S is global; engaging only the US/Anglophone canon invites a "Western-centric" flag — and missing relevant non-Anglophone work is a real, citable hole, not a stylistic preference.

Anti-patterns

  • A single-field literature review at an interdisciplinary journal
  • "Gap = no one has done this on platform X" with no theoretical stake
  • Using a borrowed concept (affordance, datafication) without defining or sourcing it
  • Engaging only the US/Anglophone canon when relevant global work exists
  • Claiming novelty for an idea that already has a name in an adjacent field

Output format

【Conversations】the 2-4 literatures this paper sits between
【Gap as disagreement】the live tension, stated as a claim
【Rival account】who would predict otherwise, and why
【Seam / contribution】what the braid reveals that neither field saw alone
【Next】newms-theory-building
