At World Politics a finding is not a contribution until it is attached to theory the field can carry to other cases. The journal asks articles to "significantly advance theoretical debates" — so this skill turns case evidence into a portable argument: explicit mechanisms, scope conditions, and observable implications that hold across comparative or IR settings.
Wp Theory Building 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/wp-theory-building/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when building the theoretical argument of a World Politics manuscript so it travels across cases. World Politics rewards arguments that significantly advance theoretical debates in comparative politics and international relations, with explicit mechanisms and scope conditions that generalize beyond one case.
The Wp Theory Building 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).

SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/wp-theory-building/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Wp Theory Building is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.
