ssc-argumentation

Use when tightening the logical argument and conceptual rigor of a 《中国社会科学》 (Social Sciences in China) manuscript — making concept definitions explicit, ensuring each section advances the core proposition, and keeping theoretical / normative reasoning valid (not replaced by data tables). Applies to theoretical, normative, and historical-comparative papers as much as empirical ones.

# 论证与思辨规范(ssc-argumentation) ## 触发时机 - 论证有跳跃,概念界定含糊 - 章节像"专题拼盘",各节不指向同一命题 - 思辨/规范论证被一堆数据替代,但逻辑链没立住 ## 核心要求:每一步服务于核心命题 本刊很多稿是思辨/规范/历史比较型,**逻辑严谨度的权重不低于实证识别**。检验标准:去掉任一节,命题是否塌?若不塌,说明该节是装饰。 ## 概念先于论证 - 关键概念**显式界定**:内涵、外延、与近义概念的区分 - 概念在全文含义一致,不中途偷换 - 新造概念要给出"为什么需要它"(旧概念解释不了什么) 界定句模板: ```text 本文所称"<概念>",指 <内涵>;其外延覆盖 <范围>,不包括 <排除项>。 与"<近义概念A>"的区别在于 <维度>;与"<近义概念B>"的区别在于 <维度>。 旧概念无法刻画 <现象/机制>,故需此概念。 ``` 界定句写出后,全文检索该概念的每次出现,确认无语义漂移;跨学科稿还应注明该概念在相邻学科中的既有用法,避免他学科评审按本学科定谱误读。 ## 论证链自检 1. 前提是否明示且可接受? 2. 从前提到结论的每一步推理是否有效? 3. 反例/对立解释是否被认真处理(而非回避)? 4. 结论是否恰好等于已论证的,不过度外推? ## 章节—命题映射表(写作工具) | 章节 | 它要证明命题的哪一步 | 去掉会塌吗 | |------|----------------------|------------| | 第二节 | … | 是/否 | | 第三节 | … | 是/否 | > 出现"否"的行,要么删,要么改写到指向命题。 ## 反例压力测试 为核心命题写两个最强反例或替代解释: - 一个来自理论:若采用另一理论传统,结论是否不同? - 一个来自经验:是否存在相反案例、时段或群体? 正文不一定展开所有反例,但必须显示你知道它们,并说明为什么不推翻核心命题。 ## 本刊长文的论证骨架(校准) 《中国社会科学》刊发的多为长篇论文,常见骨架是"问题的提出—概念与框架—两至三个递进论证节—结论与讨论",每节承担命题的一个推理环节,而非平行的专题拼盘。据此校准: - 引言末尾给出全文论证路线图:例如第二节界定概念、第三节论证机制、第四节处理反例 - 各节标题宜为判断式或概念式短语,连读起来即是论证链 - 结论节除重述命题外,应交代命题的适用边界与未尽问题 - 具体篇幅以刊物近期文章与官网《投稿须知》为准;"长"必须长在论证层级上,而非材料铺陈上 ## 外审追问的典型句式与对策 | 审稿追问 | 病根 | 本刊语境下的修法 | |----------|------|------------------| | "核心概念界定不清,与××何异?" | 概念未做内涵外延区分 | 增设界定小节,逐一与近

About this skill
What does the ssc-argumentation skill do?

Use when tightening the logical argument and conceptual rigor of a 《中国社会科学》 (Social Sciences in China) manuscript — making concept definitions explicit, ensuring each section advances the core proposition, and keeping theoretical / normative reasoning valid (not replaced by data tables). Applies to theoretical, normative, and historical-comparative papers as much as empirical ones.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ssc-argumentation --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.
