GEC is the leading journal on the human and policy dimensions of global environmental change. The bar is not "an interesting environmental finding" — it is "advances knowledge about how societies drive, experience, and respond to environmental change." Use this skill to pressure-test fit before you invest.
Gec Topic Selection is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/gec-topic-selection/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when deciding whether an environmental-change project fits Global Environmental Change (GEC) and how to frame it. GEC publishes the human and policy dimensions of global environmental change and requires a significant social-science component, so the test is societal significance and policy relevance, not an environmental result alone.
The Gec Topic Selection Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
