What it does
Phg Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a topic is review-worthy for Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) — a large, live, contested literature with real disciplinary stakes, not a gap-filling empirical study. Tests fit and scope; it does not build the argument or gather sources.
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.

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 Topic Selection loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 560 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.

- description
- Use when deciding whether a topic is review-worthy for Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) — a large, live, contested literature with real disciplinary stakes, not a gap-filling empirical study. Tests fit and scope; it does not build the argument or gather sources.
Topic Selection & Review-Worthiness (phg-topic-selection)
PiHG's first gate is not "is this interesting?" but "is this review-worthy for the discipline?" The journal publishes critical reviews and theory, not empirical work, so a topic earns a PiHG essay only if there is a substantial, contested literature whose state a synthetic argument can usefully re-order — and if the essay would matter beyond one sub-field's specialists.
When to trigger
- Choosing what to review, or narrowing a broad interest into an essay
- Unsure whether a literature is big and live enough to sustain a review
- A colleague said "this is just a summary" or "why does the field need this now?"
- Deciding whether the piece is a review article or a scoped Progress Report
The review-worthiness test (all four must hold)
| Criterion | Pass condition | Fails when |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | A large enough body of work exists to synthesize, not just cite | A handful of papers — too thin for a review |
| Liveness | The debate is active and unsettled now | A closed, historical, or consensus topic |
| Contest | Real disagreement or unresolved tension to adjudicate | Everyone already agrees; nothing to argue |
| Stakes | Re-ordering it matters beyond the niche | A parochial corner only insiders care about |
If any fails, the topic is not yet a PiHG review — narrow it, wait for the literature to mature, or send an empirical study elsewhere.
The "so what has changed?" clock
PiHG reviews are timely. A review-worthy topic usually has a trigger: a burst of new work, a methodological turn, a real-world shift, or a concept that has quietly drifted. State why now — a review with no answer to "why this, why now?" reads as a textbook chapter, not an intervention.
Scope discipline (the cap is short)
A PiHG review is ~4,000–8,000 words inclusive of endnotes — short for a survey. Choose a scope you can synthesize into one argument, not everything ever written. A tightly-scoped essay with a clear thesis beats an exhaustive catalogue every time.
- Prefer a contested seam between literatures over a whole sub-field.
- Prefer a concept whose meaning is drifting over a topic with no conceptual tension.
- If the scope needs 15,000 words to cover, it is two essays or the wrong scope.

The empirical-trap check (PiHG-specific)
The most common misfit is an empirical study dressed as a review. Ask: if you deleted every "we find / the data show," is there still a review? If the piece's spine is your own findings, PiHG is the wrong venue — this is a study, and it belongs at an empirical journal.
Worked micro-example (illustrative)
Weak: "A review of research on gentrification." (whole sub-field, no tension, no "why now")
Review-worthy: "Gentrification research has split into a rent-gap camp and a consumption camp that no
longer argue with each other; a decade of platform-mediated displacement now cuts across both — this
essay asks what the split has hidden and what platform displacement reveals." (contested seam + trigger
+ stakes + synthesizable scope)Checklist
- The literature is large, live, contested, and has stakes beyond the niche
- There is a clear answer to "why this review, why now?"
- Scope is narrow enough to synthesize into ONE argument within the cap
- The piece is a review, not an empirical study in disguise (delete-the-data test)
- A generalist human geographer, not only specialists, would care
Anti-patterns
- Reviewing a settled or consensus topic ("there is nothing left to argue")
- Choosing a scope so broad it can only be catalogued, not argued
- A review with no "why now?" — reads as a textbook, not an intervention
- Smuggling in an empirical study and calling it a review
- Confusing "under-reviewed" with "review-worthy" — some corners are small for a reason
