Frames forward-looking contributions and generative research agendas for academic review essays in Progress in Human Geography and related journals.

The PiHG Contribution Framing skill helps academic researchers transform critical literature reviews into clearly staked, generative contributions tailored for *Progress in Human Geography* (PiHG) and top-tier social science journals. It guides authors in classifying their exact contribution type (re-read, reframe, agenda, or cross-synthesis), calibrating theoretical ambition to avoid overclaiming or underclaiming, and crafting portable, concept-driven forward agendas across sub-disciplines. By replacing generic 'more research is needed' conclusions with falsifiable, question-generating research programs staked early in the abstract and carried through the conclusion, this skill ensures manuscripts articulate lasting value for the discipline.
