jacs-results-framing
Use when the chemical advance and its significance are not yet sharp for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Shapes the narrative and claims — it does not generate new data or fix characterization gaps.

# Framing the Chemical Advance (jacs-results-framing) ## When to trigger - You have results but the abstract/intro does not land a clear "advance" - Reviewers (or co-authors) ask "what is genuinely new here?" - The story reads as a list of experiments rather than one argument - The significance is asserted ("important", "novel") rather than demonstrated ## The advance, stated as a claim chain A JACS narrative is a chain where each link is backed by data: 1. **Problem** — the chemical question or limitation, framed for broad interest. 2. **Advance** — the new reaction / structure / material / method / mechanism that addresses it. 3. **Evidence** — the specific data that prove the advance (yields/ee, spectra, X-ray, kinetics). 4. **Generality / mechanism** — why it is not a one-off (scope table; mechanistic basis). 5. **Significance** — what becomes possible now that did not before, across chemistry. If any link rests on assertion rather than data, route to `jacs-methods`. ## Framing the "broad interest" Pick the dominant breadth driver and make the intro about it: | Breadth driver | How to frame it | |----------------|-----------------| | Generality | Emphasize substrate/functional-

What does the jacs-results-framing skill do?
Use when the chemical advance and its significance are not yet sharp for a Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) manuscript. Shapes the narrative and claims — it does not generate new data or fix characterization gaps.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jacs-results-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.
