hrm-contribution-framing
Use when the one-sentence claim is not sharp for a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript — articulating the dual contribution the journal demands: a scholarly advance AND a clear implication for workforce policy or HRM practice. Frames the claim; it does not build the theory (hrm-theory-development).

The framing task is to make **both halves** undeniable, in the abstract and the first two pages. Write the contribution as two linked sentences: 1. **Scholarly advance.** "We show that [HR mechanism/relationship], which extends/qualifies/overturns [conversation], beca

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill hrm-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 984 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.
