mathfin-contribution-framing
Use when articulating the contribution of a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) manuscript — frame the methodological novelty and its payoff for financial modelling (pricing, hedging, risk, portfolio, microstructure) so editor and referees see why the theorem matters, not just that it is true.

# Contribution Framing (mathfin-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - The math is correct but the introduction does not say why it advances financial modelling - A referee might ask "this is rigorous, but what is the new modelling insight?" - Reviewing whether the stated contribution matches what the theorems actually deliver ## The Mathematical Finance contribution bar The journal evaluates papers on **methodological novelty and contribution to financial modelling**. Rigor is necessary but not sufficient: a correct theorem with no modelling payoff reads as a math paper sent to the wrong venue, while a modelling claim without proof reads as informal finance. The contribution must be **both** mathematically novel **and** consequential for a financial-modelling problem (pricing, hedging, risk measurement, portfolio choice, optimal execution, arbitrage theory). ## How to frame the contribution 1. **Lead with the modelling problem**, then the obstruction prior methods hit, then your theorem as the resolution. 2. **Name the novelty axis** explicitly: a new tractable model, a weaker assumption set, a constructive solution where only existence was known, a sharper rate/bound, a new r

What does the mathfin-contribution-framing skill do?
Use when articulating the contribution of a Mathematical Finance (Wiley) manuscript — frame the methodological novelty and its payoff for financial modelling (pricing, hedging, risk, portfolio, microstructure) so editor and referees see why the theorem matters, not just that it is true.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill mathfin-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.
