Use when deciding which amr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a theory-building manuscript from theoretical-puzzle framing through developmental-review revision for an Academy of Management Review (AMR) submission. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# AMR Theory-Building Workflow (amr-workflow) ## Overview This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill — it tells you **which amr-* skill to use at the current stage** of an Academy of Management Review manuscript. Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AMR — the Academy of Management's premier **theory-development journal**. AMR publishes **conceptual articles that build new theory**; per its scope, submissions "must extend theory in ways that develop **testable knowledge-based claims**." It contains **no datasets, no hypothesis tests, no results section** — empirical hypothesis-testing is the lane of its sibling AMJ. The deliverable is a genuinely new theoretical contribution: new constructs, a new process model, or a reconceptualization — developed with rigorous logic, explicit assumptions, propositions, and boundary conditions. If the project has data and tests, it belongs at AMJ / ASQ / SMJ, not AMR. The AMR contribution bar is set by two AMR-published editorials worth keeping in view at every stage: Whetten's "What Constitutes a Theoretical Contribution?" (1989, DOI 10.5465/amr.1989.4308371) — the What/How/Why/Who-Where-When r

What does the amr-workflow skill do?
Use when deciding which amr-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a theory-building manuscript from theoretical-puzzle framing through developmental-review revision for an Academy of Management Review (AMR) submission. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill amr-workflow --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.
