What it does

Phg Contribution Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when framing the forward-looking contribution of a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — the portable "so what / what next" agenda the field can carry forward. Frames and stakes the contribution; it does not make the critical move (see phg-critical-intervention) or polish prose (see phg-writing-style).

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 Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. 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 Brand voice and tone

Example prompts

  • “so what / what next”
  • “/phg-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

Phg Contribution Framing loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 526 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
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.

Use when framing the forward-looking contribution of a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — the portable "so what / what next" agenda the field can carry forward. Frames and stakes the contribution; it does not make the critical move (see phg-critical-intervention) or polish prose (see phg-writing-style).

Contribution Framing (phg-contribution-framing)

Progress in Human Geography is in the title. A PiHG essay must not only re-order a debate but point the field forward — leave readers with a portable, generative agenda they can take to their own work. This skill turns the critical intervention (phg-critical-intervention) into a clearly staked contribution and an agenda that reads as progress, not just critique.

When to trigger

  • The critique is sharp but the essay ends without a "what next"
  • Deciding how ambitiously to pitch the contribution (a re-read vs. a new agenda)
  • A reviewer said "fine critique, but where does this leave the field?"
  • Writing the abstract and the closing agenda section

Name the contribution type (be honest about ambition)

TypeThe claimReviewer expectation
Re-readA better way to understand an existing literatureThe re-read must be non-obvious and change what counts
ReframeA new organizing concept for a fieldThe concept must travel and generate questions
AgendaA forward program of what the field should now studyThe agenda must be specific and doable, not a wish-list
Synthesis-acrossA bridge uniting literatures that ignored each otherThe bridge must be load-bearing, not a mere analogy

Overclaiming ("a new paradigm") when you have a sharp re-read invites a harsh review; underclaiming buries a real contribution. Match the pitch to what the essay earns.

Make the agenda portable and generative

The test of a PiHG contribution is whether another geographer can use it. A good forward agenda:

  • Generates questions, not just topics — "research should ask how X is distributed across the circuit," not "more research is needed on platforms."
  • Travels across sub-fields — an economic, urban, feminist, and political-ecology reader each find a handle. State those handles explicitly.
  • Names what to do differently — a method, a unit of analysis, a site, or a comparison the re-ordering makes newly sensible.
  • Is falsifiable in spirit — the agenda could turn out to be wrong or unproductive; a program that cannot fail is a slogan.

Avoid the "more research is needed" ending

The weakest PiHG close. Replace generic calls with specific, concept-driven directions:

Weak: "Future research should further examine platform labor in diverse contexts."
Strong: "Following the circuit rather than the platform, three questions open: how control at one node
  produces precarity at another; where social reproduction sits in the circuit; and which nodes afford
  the strongest political leverage — questions economic, feminist, and urban geographers can each take up."

Stake it early and late

PiHG readers should meet the contribution in the abstract and introduction, not only the conclusion (see phg-writing-style). The closing agenda then delivers on the promise with specifics. A contribution revealed only on the last page reads as an afterthought.

Checklist

  • Contribution type named and matched to what the essay earns (no over/under-claim)
  • Forward agenda is specific and doable, not "more research is needed"
  • Agenda generates questions and names what to do differently
  • Handles for multiple sub-fields stated explicitly (portability)
  • Contribution stated in the abstract/intro and delivered in the close
  • The "so what for the discipline" is legible to a generalist, not only specialists

Anti-patterns

  • Ending on "more research is needed" or "future work should explore…"
  • Overclaiming a paradigm shift the synthesis does not support
  • A contribution buried on the last page, absent from the abstract
  • An agenda only the author's own sub-field could use
  • Restating the critique as if it were the forward agenda

Output format

【Contribution type】re-read / reframe / agenda / synthesis-across
【One-line contribution】what the field gains
【Forward agenda】the 2–4 specific, concept-driven directions
【Portability handles】what each sub-field can take up
【Stated early?】in abstract + intro, delivered in close? [Y/N]
【Next】phg-tables-figures
