Use when positioning a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript against the literature so it reads as an all-fields, agenda-setting contribution that can withstand the CA✩ comment-and-reply Treatment. CA readers and commentators span every subfield and many world traditions, so the paper must engage the conversations they expect and decenter a US/Anglophone-only canon. Stakes the contribution and citational politics; it does not write the lit review.

From the source SKILL.md

At CA, positioning is not throat-clearing — it is how an all-fields readership and your future commentators see the gap and the move. Because Major Articles receive the CA✩ Treatment (signed Comments from international scholars, then your Reply), the literature you engage doubles as a map of who will be invited to comment. Position the paper in a live anthropological conversation a reader outside your subfield can recognize, while practicing the citational politics a transnational journal expects (engaging scholarship from the regions and traditions you study, not only the metropolitan canon).

What this skill does

Curranthro Literature Positioning is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the product-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/curranthro-literature-positioning/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
