What it does
Newms Theory Building is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building the conceptual argument of a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript — turning a platform finding into a portable concept or mechanism drawing on media, communication, and social theory. Builds the argument; it does not collect data or run analyses.
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.
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
- Building the conceptual argument of a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript — turning a platform finding into a portable concept
- Mechanism drawing on media
Example prompts
- “/newms-theory-building”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Name the concept or mechanism. A handle others can cite.
- Define it independent of your data. It must make sense without your platform.
- Specify the mechanism. What produces what, through what process? Not just correlation.
- State scope conditions. When does it operate, and when not? Boundary conditions earn trust.
- Derive observable implications. What would we see if the argument is right vs. wrong? (This links
- Connect to theory. Anchor in media/communication and social theory — affordances, mediatization,
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
Newms Theory Building loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Use when building the conceptual argument of a New Media & Society (NM&S) manuscript — turning a platform finding into a portable concept or mechanism drawing on media, communication, and social theory. Builds the argument; it does not collect data or run analyses.
Theory Building (newms-theory-building)
NM&S publishes empirical, critical, and computational work, but it consistently rewards papers that deliver a concept or mechanism that travels beyond the studied platform. "Theory" here is broad: it can be a new construct, a re-specification of a travelling concept, a critical/normative argument, or a mechanism that explains how a digital-media phenomenon works socially. It is rarely a formal model.
When to trigger
- Your draft has a finding but no portable idea ("X is associated with Y" and stop)
- A reviewer called the work "atheoretical," "descriptive," or "a-just-so story"
- You need to state what concept a reader in another field could carry elsewhere
What counts as theory at NM&S
| Mode | What it delivers | Example shape |
|---|---|---|
| New construct | a named thing the field lacked | "context collapse," "networked privacy" |
| Re-specified concept | sharper definition + scope | redefining "affordance" relationally |
| Mechanism | how/why a process works | datafication → self-discipline |
| Critical / normative | what is at stake and for whom | platform power as a justice problem |
| Typology | meaningful kinds, not a scale | varieties of digital disconnection |
The portability test (NM&S-specific)
Ask: "Could a researcher studying a different platform or context import this idea and learn something?" If the answer is "only if they study the same app," you have a finding, not a concept. Make the idea portable by (a) naming it, (b) defining it independent of the platform, and (c) stating its scope conditions — where it holds and where it breaks.
Build sequence
- Name the concept or mechanism. A handle others can cite.
- Define it independent of your data. It must make sense without your platform.
- Specify the mechanism. What produces what, through what process? Not just correlation.
- State scope conditions. When does it operate, and when not? Boundary conditions earn trust.
- Derive observable implications. What would we see if the argument is right vs. wrong? (This links
to
newms-research-design's adjudication move.) - Connect to theory. Anchor in media/communication and social theory — affordances, mediatization, publics, surveillance, political economy of platforms — so the contribution is legible and located.

For critical / theoretical papers (no original data)
The argument is the contribution. Make the claim explicit, walk the strongest counter-argument, and show what the framing makes visible that prior framings hid. Avoid free-floating critique: tie it to concrete digital-media practice and name what is at stake and for whom.
Worked micro-example (illustrative)
Finding: gig couriers reorganize their day around an opaque ranking score.
Concept named: "datafied control" — control exercised through continuous datafication and ranking.
Defined platform-independently: any setting where opaque metrics govern access to work/reward.
Mechanism: visibility of the score → anticipatory self-discipline → internalized managerial logic.
Scope conditions: holds where metrics are opaque and tied to material stakes; weak where workers can
see/contest the rule. Observable implication: workers comply *before* sanction, not after.Calibration anchors
- Name it or lose it. An unnamed mechanism cannot be cited or carried — naming is the contribution.
- Define without the platform. If the concept needs the app to make sense, it isn't portable.
- Scope conditions are strength, not hedging. Saying where the idea breaks earns a referee's trust.
Anti-patterns
- A finding with no mechanism — "X is associated with Y" and stop
- HARKing: presenting post-hoc patterns as if hypothesized in advance
- Borrowing a travelling concept (affordance, datafication) without sharpening or sourcing it
- Critique with no grounding in concrete digital-media practice
- A "theory" that only describes one platform and travels nowhere
Output format
【Concept / mechanism】the named, portable idea
【Definition】stated independent of the platform
【Mechanism】what produces what, and how
【Scope conditions】where it holds / breaks
【Observable implications】what we'd see if right vs. wrong
