soctheory-boundary-conditionsA skill your agent uses when specifying the scope, domain, and limits of a Sociological Theory (ST) manuscript's theory — stating where it holds, where it does not, and what it does NOT claim.
Soctheory Boundary Conditions is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when specifying the scope, domain, and limits of a Sociological Theory (ST) manuscript's theory — stating where it holds, where it does not, and what it does NOT claim. Bounds the theory as a contribution; it does NOT build the concepts (soctheory-theory-construction) or audit the reasoning (soctheory-argument-development).
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.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Soctheory Boundary Conditions loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 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.
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.

.claude/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).soctheory-argument-development needs to be converted into a boundaryBoundary conditions are a contribution at ST, not a disclaimer. A bounded theory is a sharper theory: stating the domain is itself a theoretical claim about how the social world is segmented. An unbounded theory reads as over-reach and invites rejection.
Specify the domain along each axis explicitly:
| Move | Weak form (disclaimer) | Strong form (theorized boundary) |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | "This is limited to organizations" | "The mechanism requires formalized roles, so it operates in organizations but not in diffuse networks — because…" |
| Level | "We focus on the micro level" | "Aggregation to the macro fails when interaction is non-additive; the theory therefore bounds itself at the meso transition" |
| History | "Our examples are Western" | "The mechanism presupposes a differentiated cultural field, present after X but not before — so the theory is historically indexed" |
The strong form names why the boundary falls where it does — the same mechanism that powers the theory also explains its limit.
State the non-claims explicitly. This pre-empts the most common reviewer move ("you're implying…") and protects the contribution:
soctheory-argument-development.Each proposition should inherit the scope: if P3 only holds under condition C, say so where P3
is stated, not in a buried caveat. Tie the boundary back to the conceptual figure
(soctheory-conceptual-exhibits) so the diagram does not silently over-claim.
【Substantive scope】holds for [...] ; excludes [...]
【Level scope】operates at [...] ; bridge load-bears where [...]
【Contextual/historical scope】requires conditions [...]
【Why the boundary falls here】[mechanism-based reason, per axis]
【Does NOT claim】[explicit non-claims]

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill soctheory-boundary-conditions -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Sociological-Theory-Skills/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Or copy the skill folder (Sociological-Theory-Skills/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill soctheory-boundary-conditions -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions, .gemini/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions, .github/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions and .opencode/skills/soctheory-boundary-conditions in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Soctheory Boundary Conditions is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Soctheory Boundary Conditions is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
