What it does

Revacc Contribution Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when results exist but the "so what for accounting" is thin for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — turning estimates or propositions into one sharp, defensible accounting contribution. Sharpens the claim; it does not position against the literature (revacc-literature-positioning) or polish the prose (revacc-writing-style).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping and 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

  • Results exist but the so what for accounting is thin for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — turning estimates
  • Propositions into one sharp
  • Defensible accounting contribution

Example prompts

  • “so what for accounting”
  • “/revacc-contribution-framing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Write the one-sentence contribution; cut every clause not supported by a table or a proof.
  2. State the scope condition — the setting, sample, or assumptions under which it holds.
  3. Name what the paper does not show, pre-empting the obvious referee objection.
  4. Connect the contribution to a decision: what should a standard-setter, investor, auditor, or theorist do differently?

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

Revacc Contribution Framing loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 524 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 results exist but the "so what for accounting" is thin for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — turning estimates or propositions into one sharp, defensible accounting contribution. Sharpens the claim; it does not position against the literature (revacc-literature-positioning) or polish the prose (revacc-writing-style).

Contribution Framing (revacc-contribution-framing)

When to trigger

  • The results are in but you cannot state the contribution in one sentence
  • The intro lists what you did rather than what the field learns
  • A referee says "interesting, but what is the takeaway for accounting?"
  • An analytical paper has proven propositions but no crisp accounting implication
  • The contribution is overclaimed relative to what the design or model actually shows

State the contribution as what accounting learns

A RAST contribution is not "we run X regression" or "we prove Proposition 1." It is a sentence of the form: "We show that [accounting construct/mechanism] [does what] through [friction/channel], which means [implication for reporting, standard-setting, investors, auditors, or theory]." RAST's fast first-round-decision culture means the editor reads the contribution claim hard on the first pass; an underframed or overclaimed contribution is a leading reject reason.

Calibrate the claim to the evidence:

  • Empirical archival. The contribution is a credibly identified accounting effect plus the channel evidence. Do not promise causality your design cannot deliver; if the cleanest claim is an association under stated assumptions, say so and make the association informative.
  • Analytical. The contribution is the insight the model delivers — an optimal-disclosure result, a rationalized puzzle, a comparative static with a reporting reading — not the algebra. Translate the proposition into the accounting decision it informs.
  • Experimental. The contribution is the channel the manipulation isolates that archival data cannot, and what it implies for how the accounting information is processed or produced.

The four contribution registers RAST rewards

RegisterWhat it offersWatch out for
Empirical regularityA new, credibly identified fact about reporting/marketsOver-claiming causality; thin channel
Theory ↔ evidence bridgeA model that explains data, or a test of a disclosure-theory predictionLoose fit between the model and the test
Construct / measurementA better measure of an accounting construct, validatedA measure with no question behind it
Mechanism / channelWhy an established effect occursA channel the design cannot distinguish

The theory↔evidence bridge is RAST's sweet spot — lean on it when the paper supports it.

Sharpen and bound the claim

  1. Write the one-sentence contribution; cut every clause not supported by a table or a proof.
  2. State the scope condition — the setting, sample, or assumptions under which it holds.
  3. Name what the paper does not show, pre-empting the obvious referee objection.
  4. Connect the contribution to a decision: what should a standard-setter, investor, auditor, or theorist do differently?

Checklist

  • The contribution is one sentence: construct → effect → channel → implication
  • The claim is calibrated to the evidence (no causality beyond the design; no insight beyond the proof)
  • The scope condition is stated explicitly
  • What the paper does not show is named
  • The contribution names a decision or debate it changes
  • The theory↔evidence bridge is used where the paper supports it

Anti-patterns

  • Activity for contribution: listing what you did instead of what is learned.
  • Causality inflation: claiming a causal effect a DiD/IV cannot support.
  • Insight inflation: selling algebra as if the equilibrium itself were the contribution.
  • Unbounded claim: no scope condition, so a referee finds the boundary for you.
  • Orphan result: a finding connected to no decision, debate, or theory.

Output format
