What it does

Aejpol Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when placing the contribution against the policy-evaluation literature and sharpening it as a policy answer for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript. Stakes the contribution and the policy-relevant "so what"; it does not write the full introduction or design the identification.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging

Example prompts

  • “so what”
  • “/aejpol-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The policy-design gap. What does a policymaker still not know — the sign, the magnitude, the cost-effectiveness, the incidence, the…
  2. The credibility upgrade. If prior evidence exists, say why yours is more credible (cleaner design, better data, a policy variation that…
  3. The welfare/cost-benefit advance. The distinctive AEJ: Policy move: convert estimates into a welfare or cost-benefit statement (MVPF…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aejpol Literature Positioning loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 717 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Literature Positioning & Contribution Framing (aejpol-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • The contribution vs. existing policy evaluations is fuzzy, or sounds like "we add another estimate"
  • A referee asks "what do we learn beyond [prior study of this or a similar policy]?"
  • The literature review is a list of citations rather than a map of the open policy question
  • You need to frame the contribution so the policy lesson, not the method, is the news

How AEJ: Policy contributions are staked

At AEJ: Policy the contribution is a better answer to a policy question, not a new estimate for its own sake. Position the paper on three axes and make the policy reading the headline:

  1. The policy-design gap. What does a policymaker still not know — the sign, the magnitude, the cost-effectiveness, the incidence, the optimal level, or the external validity of an existing estimate? State the gap as something a decision-maker would care about.
  2. The credibility upgrade. If prior evidence exists, say why yours is more credible (cleaner design, better data, a policy variation that breaks a confound, a setting that fixes external-validity worries) — but only as a means to a sharper policy answer.
  3. The welfare/cost-benefit advance. The distinctive AEJ: Policy move: convert estimates into a welfare or cost-benefit statement (MVPF, cost-per-outcome, incidence, deadweight loss) that prior work left implicit. This is often the real contribution.
Positioning patterns that land
  • "Prior work estimates the effect; we show whether it is worth it" (adds the cost-benefit reading).
  • "Estimates exist for setting A; we show they do/do not travel to the policy-relevant setting B" (external validity for policy).
  • "The textbook prescription assumes X; we show the policy-relevant elasticity implies a different optimum" (re-optimizing the policy).
  • "Reduced-form effects were known; we recover the sufficient statistic the welfare calculation needs" (links to aejpol-theory-model).
Citation discipline (AEA house)

Author–year throughout; cite the canonical methods papers behind your design (e.g., modern DID, RDD) and the key policy-evaluation papers on this and adjacent policies — referees expect you to know the policy literature, not only the econometrics.

Checklist

  • The open policy question is stated as a gap a decision-maker would recognize
  • Contribution framed as a sharper policy answer, not "one more estimate"
  • If prior estimates exist, the credibility or welfare upgrade is explicit
  • At least one contribution bullet is a welfare/cost-benefit/distributional advance
  • Both the relevant policy literature and the methods literature are cited (author–year)
  • No overclaim of novelty that a referee can puncture with one citation
Show full SKILL.md (309 more words)Show less

Anti-patterns

  • "We provide new evidence on X" with no statement of what was unknown and why it matters for policy
  • A literature review that is a taxonomy of papers, not a map to the open policy question
  • Claiming to be first while ignoring a close policy-evaluation paper (fast desk-reject signal)
  • Positioning purely on identification cleverness with no policy-design or welfare advance
  • Numbered [1][2] citations instead of AEA author–year

Referee pushback mapped to the fix

  • "What do we learn beyond [prior study of this policy]?" → State the specific policy-design gap (sign / magnitude / cost-effectiveness / incidence / external validity) you close, not "new evidence."
  • "This duplicates a known result." → Lead with the credibility or welfare upgrade; show the prior estimate could not deliver the cost-benefit reading you do.
  • "Novelty is overstated." → Cite the closest paper explicitly and scope your claim to the margin you actually advance.

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A draft on a carbon tax says "we estimate the emissions response." Referees note three prior estimates exist. Repositioned: the prior estimates ignore the revenue-recycling margin; this paper recovers the response and the incidence of the recycled revenue, so it can state the net welfare cost per ton abated under alternative recycling rules (illustrative) — a cost-benefit advance no prior estimate delivered. The contribution is now a policy answer, not a fourth elasticity.

How the three contribution bullets read in the intro

A strong AEJ: Policy intro states the contribution as up to three numbered moves, at least one of them a welfare advance: (1) credibility — "we exploit [variation] that prior work could not, removing [confound]"; (2) magnitude / external validity — "we provide the policy-relevant estimate for [population/scale] where prior estimates do not travel"; (3) welfare — "we convert the effect into [MVPF / cost-per-outcome / incidence], the object a policymaker needs." Keep each to one sentence and make the welfare bullet the one a reader remembers.

Output format

【Open policy question / gap】what a decision-maker still does not know
【Closest prior work】1–3 papers + the specific limitation you address
【Contribution bullets】(a) credibility / (b) magnitude / (c) welfare-cost-benefit — ≥1 must be welfare
【Policy "so what"】one sentence a non-specialist policymaker would grasp
【Next step】aejpol-identification (design) or aejpol-theory-model (welfare mapping)
