What it does
Aeri Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning the contribution of an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript against the closest published work in one or two tight paragraphs. Stakes the gap concisely; it does not write the full literature review (there is no room for one).
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 Research & Science, covering Positioning and messaging and Literature review. 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.

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
Aeri Literature Positioning loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 708 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- description
- Use when positioning the contribution of an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript against the closest published work in one or two tight paragraphs. Stakes the gap concisely; it does not write the full literature review (there is no room for one).
Literature Positioning — Compressed (aeri-literature-positioning)
When to trigger
- The contribution relative to the nearest paper is fuzzy or oversold
- A draft contains a multi-page literature review that the format cannot afford
- A referee might say "this is already known" or "this is a known method applied"
- You need to show the single insight is new without spending the word budget
The short-format positioning problem
AER: Insights gives you no room for a survey. Positioning must be done in one or two paragraphs that do exactly one job: pin the single closest prior result and state precisely what your one insight adds, corrects, or overturns. Because the whole paper is one idea, the literature task is narrow — locate that idea on the frontier, not map the whole field. The word budget is shared with everything else (≤7,000 words minus exhibits), so every citation must earn its place.
How to position in two paragraphs
- Name the closest paper(s), not a field. Identify the one or two papers a referee will immediately think of. Engage them directly: what did they establish, and what did they leave open or get wrong that your insight resolves?
- State the delta as a single clause. "We show X, where the closest prior work showed only Y / assumed Z / left W unresolved." The delta must match the one-sentence insight from
aeri-topic-selection. - Defend novelty without inflation. AER: Insights referees punish both "this is already known" and overclaiming. Calibrate: claim exactly the marginal contribution, no more.
- Push the broad literature to the appendix or footnotes. Tangential citations and related-strands discussion go to a footnote or the Supplemental Appendix, never an in-text section.
Decision table: what kind of gap is it?
| Gap type | One-line framing | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|
| New result on an open question | "It was unknown whether …; we show …" | be sure it is genuinely open, not just unaddressed-by-you |
| Overturning a believed result | "Prior work concluded X; with [better design/data] we find not-X" | engage the prior paper's design fairly |
| Sharpening / separating channels | "Prior work left A and B bundled together; we isolate ..." | show the separation is the contribution |
| Method that changes the answer | "Applying [method] to [setting] reverses the standard conclusion" | the payoff, not the method, is the contribution |
Where positioning lives in the short paper
In a long paper the literature has its own section; in AER: Insights it should live inside the
introduction — typically the second and third sentences after the headline result
(aeri-writing-style). The reader meets the result, then immediately
learns what was believed before and what your one insight changes. A standalone "Related Literature"
section is a smell that the paper is too long or trying to be an AER paper.
Show full SKILL.md (263 more words)Show less
The general-interest test for citations
Because AER: Insights is general-interest, the closest paper you confront should be one a broad
audience recognizes, not only the three specialists in your subfield. If the only papers you can position
against are field-internal, reconsider whether the venue is AER: Insights or an AEJ field journal
(aeri-topic-selection). Position against the most visible prior
claim your result touches; cite the field-internal antecedents in a footnote.
Worked vignette (illustrative)
A fictional paper finds that revealing posted wages closes part of the gender application gap. A weak positioning cites "a large literature on gender gaps" and a dozen papers. A strong AER: Insights positioning is two sentences: "The application gap is widely attributed to preferences or confidence (closest paper: X); we show a simple information change moves it substantially, implying the gap is partly an information friction." One named antecedent, one delta clause, no survey.
Checklist
- The single closest prior result is named and engaged directly
- The contribution is stated as one delta clause matching the headline insight
- Novelty is calibrated — neither "already known" nor overclaimed
- Positioning fits in one or two paragraphs, not a section
- Broader / tangential literature is in footnotes or the appendix
- No claim that the insight cannot defend in the short paper itself
Anti-patterns
- A multi-page "Related Literature" section the word cap cannot afford
- Citing a field instead of confronting the one paper closest to yours
- Overclaiming ("first to …") when a near-identical result exists
- Hedged positioning that leaves the referee unsure what is new
- Spending words on strands the single insight does not touch
Output format
【Closest prior work】<1–2 papers> — what they established / left open
【Delta clause】"We show ..., where prior work only ... / assumed ... / left ... unresolved"
【Novelty calibration】exact marginal contribution (no over/underclaim)
【Where the rest goes】footnotes / Supplemental Appendix
