CPS Literature Positioning is a specialized Claude Code skill tailored for political science researchers writing manuscripts for Comparative Political Studies (CPS) and related journals. It guides authors in clearly defining one central comparative-politics debate, identifying existing limits in the standing literature, establishing falsifiable gaps, and articulating rival explanations that the empirical design must adjudicate. By integrating cross-regional references and a structured comparative debate map, it prevents common pitfalls such as regional insularity, broad literature dumps, and reinventing established findings.
