jmgmt-contribution-framing
Use when turning results into an explicit theoretical contribution for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — the "what new theory do we learn?" statement and the discussion section. Frames the contribution; it does not build the original theory (jmgmt-theory-development) or run the analysis (jmgmt-data-analysis).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Contribution Framing & Discussion (jmgmt-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - Results are in but the "so what for theory" is vague or missing - The discussion restates findings instead of advancing the theory - A reviewer says the contribution is "incremental," "descriptive," or "unclear" - You can describe what you found but not what the field now knows that it did not before - A meta-analysis reports corrected effects but never says what theory they settle - The practical-implications paragraph is generic ("managers should pay attention to X") ## The contribution question JOM asks JOM's gate is the **theoretical contribution**: *what do we now understand about the theory that we did not before?* Strong results with no theoretical advance read as a technical report, not a JOM paper — and that is true for empirical papers *and* for meta-analyses/reviews, which must move theory, not merely tally effects. Because JOM is a general-management journal, the best contributions also **travel across subfields**: a mechanism uncovered in HR that informs strategy or entrepreneurship is exactly the kind of cross-cutting advance JOM prizes. ## Types of theoretical contribution (claim th

What does the jmgmt-contribution-framing skill do?
Use when turning results into an explicit theoretical contribution for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — the "what new theory do we learn?" statement and the discussion section. Frames the contribution; it does not build the original theory (jmgmt-theory-development) or run the analysis (jmgmt-data-analysis).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jmgmt-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.
