asq-contribution-framing
Use when sharpening the theoretical contribution and the "so what" for an Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) manuscript once results exist. Frames the contribution; it does not develop the underlying theory or run analysis.

# Contribution Framing (asq-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - Results exist but you cannot state the contribution in one crisp sentence - The intro/discussion reads as "we found X" rather than "we change how the field thinks" - A reviewer says "interesting findings, but what's the theoretical contribution?" - The paper risks reading as a method demonstration rather than a theory advance ## The ASQ standard: a theoretical contribution, not a finding At ASQ the deliverable is a *change in how organization theorists understand something*. A finding answers a question; a contribution **reframes the question** or overturns a prior. Frame around the surprise identified in `asq-topic-selection` and the mechanism from `asq-theory-development`. The ASQ archetype is a paper that gives the field a new lens it cannot un-see — the garbage-can model of organizational choice (Cohen, March & Olsen 1972, ASQ) or Barley's (1986, ASQ) reconception of technology as an occasion for structuring. Note what is *not* the ASQ deliverable: an improvement in firm performance (the SMJ register) or a well-powered confirmation of a moderated hypothesis (a common AMJ profile) is not, by itself, a theoret

What does the asq-contribution-framing skill do?
Use when sharpening the theoretical contribution and the "so what" for an Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) manuscript once results exist. Frames the contribution; it does not develop the underlying theory or run analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill asq-contribution-framing --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.
