What it does

Respol Contribution Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the one-sentence "so what" is the bottleneck for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — converting solid results into an explicit advance for innovation theory/evidence that usually carries a policy or managerial implication. Frames the claim; it does not build the mechanism (respol-theory-development) or polish prose (respol-writing-style).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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

  • Managerial implication
  • Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone

Example prompts

  • “so what”
  • “/respol-contribution-framing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Before/after. Write "Innovation scholars have assumed/shown X; we show Y," where Y is a mechanism, boundary, or contradicting fact — not…
  2. Type. Name the contribution type: a new mechanism, a boundary condition on a known one, contradicting evidence, a measurement that…
  3. Audience split. State separately what this means for innovation theory and for innovation policy/management — RP readers come from both…
  4. Earned implication. Tie the policy/managerial implication to the estimated mechanism: "because the effect runs through [channel], policy…
  5. Calibrate. Match the strength of the claim to the design, sample, and external validity. Acknowledge what the evidence does not establish.

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

Respol Contribution Framing loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 661 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 the one-sentence "so what" is the bottleneck for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — converting solid results into an explicit advance for innovation theory/evidence that usually carries a policy or managerial implication. Frames the claim; it does not build the mechanism (respol-theory-development) or polish prose (respol-writing-style).

Contribution Framing (respol-contribution-framing)

When to trigger

  • The results are in but the paper cannot say in one sentence what innovation studies now knows that it didn't
  • The contribution is stated as "we find a significant effect of X on Y" (a result, not a contribution)
  • There is no policy or managerial implication, or one is bolted on as a token final paragraph
  • A referee says "the contribution is unclear / overclaimed / not commensurate with the evidence"
  • The intro promises one contribution and the discussion delivers another

The Research Policy contribution bar

RP rewards a genuine contribution to innovation theory or evidence over narrow technique. A submittable contribution states (a) what innovation-studies readers believed before, (b) what they should believe after, and (c) why it matters — almost always with a policy or managerial implication that follows from the mechanism, not from a generic call to "inform policymakers." The implication must be earned: it should change a specific design choice (a subsidy rule, an IP regime, a university-industry interface, an R&D organizational practice), not gesture at relevance.

The contribution must be commensurate with the evidence: a single-country patent study should not claim a universal law of innovation, and a clean estimate with a thin mechanism should not claim to "rewrite" a theory.

Building the contribution statement

  1. Before/after. Write "Innovation scholars have assumed/shown X; we show Y," where Y is a mechanism, boundary, or contradicting fact — not just a coefficient.
  2. Type. Name the contribution type: a new mechanism, a boundary condition on a known one, contradicting evidence, a measurement that resolves a debate, or a new construct/typology.
  3. Audience split. State separately what this means for innovation theory and for innovation policy/management — RP readers come from both sides.
  4. Earned implication. Tie the policy/managerial implication to the estimated mechanism: "because the effect runs through [channel], policy lever [Z] should change in [direction]." If you cannot do this, the implication is decorative.
  5. Calibrate. Match the strength of the claim to the design, sample, and external validity. Acknowledge what the evidence does not establish.

Aligning the paper around the claim

  • The abstract, the last paragraph of the intro, and the discussion must state the same contribution in compatible words.
  • The theoretical-model / mechanism and the headline result must both point at the contribution; if a result is not load-bearing for the claim, it belongs in robustness, not the headline.
  • The policy/managerial implication in the conclusion must trace to a specific finding, with its scope conditions attached.

Worked example (illustrative)

A study estimates that a national R&D tax credit raises patenting among small firms. A result-shaped framing says "the credit increases patents by X%." An RP contribution says: "Innovation scholars have assumed R&D subsidies mainly relieve financing constraints; we show the effect runs through new collaboration between subsidized firms and universities, implying the additionality is relational, not just financial." That before→after names a mechanism (collaboration, not finance), splits the audience (theory: rethink the additionality channel; policy: design credits to reward university linkage), and earns its policy lever from the estimated channel. The calibration line then concedes the evidence is one country and one firm-size band, so the claim is about a mechanism's existence, not its universal magnitude.

Checklist

  • The contribution is stated as before→after for innovation studies, not as a result
  • The contribution type is named (mechanism / boundary / contradiction / measurement / construct)
  • Implications for innovation theory AND policy/management are both explicit
  • The policy/managerial implication is earned from the mechanism, not generic
  • The claim is commensurate with the evidence and external validity
  • Abstract, intro, and discussion state the same contribution
  • What the evidence does NOT establish is acknowledged

Anti-patterns

  • "We find a significant effect" presented as the contribution
  • A token "implications for policymakers" paragraph with no specific lever
  • Overclaiming a universal innovation law from one country/sector/period
  • A contribution in the intro that the discussion silently changes
  • Technique-as-contribution ("we apply method M to data D") with no innovation-studies advance
  • Burying the actual contribution under a literature recap
