They expect you to enter a **specific, identifiable conversation** and advance it. The literature section is an *argument that creates the space* for your contribution — not a comprehensive survey. Steps: 1. **Name the conversation.** Identify the 2–4 streams your paper speaks to (e.g., categories and audiences; status and Matthew effects; institutional logics; organizational identity; routines and capabilities; network brokerage; sensemaking; ecology and selection). 2. **Characterize what that conversation currently assumes.** State the prevailing view fairly and precisely — strong steelman, not strawman. 3. **Locate the tension.** Show where the conversation is incomplete, internally contradictory, or contradicted by your puzzle. 4. **S

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill asq-literature-positioning --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.
