jcp-contribution-framing
Use when sharpening the one-sentence contribution of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript so the novelty reads as a psychological PROCESS, not an effect. Frames the contribution; it does not build the theory (jcp-theory-development) or run analyses (jcp-data-analysis).

# Contribution Framing (jcp-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - Your "contribution" sentence describes an **effect** ("X increases Y") rather than a mechanism - Reviewers say the finding is "interesting but incremental" or "not surprising" - The abstract and intro promise more than the process evidence delivers (over-claiming) - You have strong studies but cannot say in one line what the field learns about the consumer's mind - Multiple contributions are listed and none is sharp ## The JCP contribution is a process claim A JCP contribution sentence has a specific shape: **"We show that [antecedent] shapes [consumer outcome] because it [changes psychological state M], which means [implication / new boundary / overturned belief]."** The "because" clause is the contribution. If your sentence stops at the comma after the outcome, you have an effect, and an effect alone is a reject. The framing job is to make the *mechanism* the headline and the effect merely the vehicle that reveals it. The second JCP requirement is **theoretical surprise or correction**: the process should change what a knowledgeable reader expected — a non-obvious mediator, a reversal under a predicted conditi

What does the jcp-contribution-framing skill do?
Use when sharpening the one-sentence contribution of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript so the novelty reads as a psychological PROCESS, not an effect. Frames the contribution; it does not build the theory (jcp-theory-development) or run analyses (jcp-data-analysis).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jcp-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.
