amann-organizing-framework
Use when building the novel integrative framework that an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review must deliver — the theory-advancing "new way of seeing the field" that is the acceptance bar, not a catalog of papers. Designs the spine; it does not gather the literature (amann-literature-synthesis) or appraise evidence balance (amann-evidence-standards).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Organizing Framework — the Acceptance Bar (amann-organizing-framework) ## When to trigger - The coding matrix is built but the draft would read like a list of papers - Sections are named after sub-topics ("Antecedents", "Outcomes") rather than ideas - You cannot state in one sentence the *new way of seeing the field* the review delivers - A reader could not predict why streams are grouped as they are, or what the review *argues* ## Why the framework is the whole game at Annals Annals is "reviews with an attitude": it does not reward accurate summary, it rewards **theory advancement through synthesis**. The acceptance bar is whether the review **imposes an organizing logic the field did not have** — a typology, a process model, an integrating construct, a reconciliation of rival camps — that makes scattered work legible and generates a research agenda. The framework *is* the contribution; the citations are the evidence. This is what separates Annals from a descriptive review and from its sibling AMR, where new theory stands alone rather than emerging from a literature.

What does the amann-organizing-framework skill do?
Use when building the novel integrative framework that an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review must deliver — the theory-advancing "new way of seeing the field" that is the acceptance bar, not a catalog of papers. Designs the spine; it does not gather the literature (amann-literature-synthesis) or appraise evidence balance (amann-evidence-standards).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill amann-organizing-framework --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
