orgstud-contribution-framing
Use when sharpening the one-sentence theoretical contribution of an Organization Studies (OS) manuscript and the intro/discussion claims that carry it. Frames the contribution; it does not build the theory (see orgstud-theory-development) or run analysis.

# Contribution Framing (orgstud-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - The theory and evidence are settled but the paper cannot say its contribution in one sentence - The intro lists findings rather than a theoretical move; the discussion restates results - A reviewer says "I don't see the contribution," "this is incremental," or "what does this add to theory?" - The contribution is described as a *finding* ("we find X") rather than a usable *theoretical move* ## At OS, the contribution is a theoretical move others can use The single most important sentence in an OS paper is: *"We contribute to [conversation] by [the theoretical move], which shows that [the new understanding]."* The move must be something a reader **elsewhere can pick up and apply** — a new mechanism, a reconceptualized construct, a process model, a resolved tension, a boundary that wasn't seen. A finding is not a contribution; a finding *plus what it changes in how we theorize organizing* is. OS distinguishes sharply between **empirical contribution** ("we found this happens") and **theoretical contribution** ("this changes how the field should think").

What does the orgstud-contribution-framing skill do?
Use when sharpening the one-sentence theoretical contribution of an Organization Studies (OS) manuscript and the intro/discussion claims that carry it. Frames the contribution; it does not build the theory (see orgstud-theory-development) or run analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill orgstud-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.
