What it does
Arecon Proposal Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when getting a review topic in front of the Annual Review of Economics (ARE) Editorial Committee or shaping an accepted invitation — the commissioned/invited intake route, how to suggest a topic, and what a Committee-ready pitch contains. Frames the commission; it does not gather the literature (arecon-literature-synthesis) or run the delivery preflight (arecon-submission).
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.
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
Arecon Proposal Framing loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 666 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 getting a review topic in front of the Annual Review of Economics (ARE) Editorial Committee or shaping an accepted invitation — the commissioned/invited intake route, how to suggest a topic, and what a Committee-ready pitch contains. Frames the commission; it does not gather the literature (arecon-literature-synthesis) or run the delivery preflight (arecon-submission).
Invitation & Commissioning (arecon-proposal-framing)
When to trigger
- The topic passed
arecon-topic-selectionand you want it considered for an ARE volume - You received an invitation from the Editorial Committee and need to lock the angle before reading
- You are unsure how ARE intake works — it is not a portal you submit a finished paper to
- You want to maximize the chance the Committee commissions you for this topic
How ARE intake actually works (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)
This is the single most important difference from a normal journal — get it right or you waste months. ARE is commissioning-driven:
- The Editorial Committee invites articles. The Committee identifies salient topics and solicits reviews from qualified authors, selecting on scholarly reputation, academic record, and publication history (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
- Unsolicited finished manuscripts are not accepted. You do not write the full review and submit it cold the way you would to JEL or a field journal (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). The leverage point is getting your topic and your name onto the Committee's radar, not polishing a finished draft no one asked for.
- Suggesting a topic is the controllable move. Authors and Committee members can propose topics; a member may propose another member or an outside expert. Proposed topics are evaluated with the same rigor as any commissioned article and go through review after submission (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). So your realistic path is a sharp, short pitch — to the Committee, an editor you know, or via the journal's suggestion channel — that demonstrates the topic is ARE-shaped and that you are the right author.
- After an invitation, scope is negotiated with the editor/Committee before you draft (see
arecon-editor-strategy).
Because you cannot manufacture an invitation, the closest controllable substitute is a one-to-two-page topic pitch that reads like the Committee's own reasoning: here is a field that has matured, here is why an adjacent economist needs a map of it now, here is the spine I would impose, and here is why I can write it fairly. Put your name in front of the Committee as the person who could write that review.
Anatomy of a Committee-ready topic pitch
| Element | What it must do | Length guide |
|---|---|---|
| The field & animating question | State the literature and the question about it (from arecon-topic-selection) | ~1 paragraph |
| Why a synthesis is needed now | New evidence / method shift / policy salience; the adjacent-economist payoff | ~1 paragraph |
| The organizing spine | The taxonomy or analytical structure you would impose — not a chapter list | ~2–3 paragraphs |
| Coverage signal | The main research lines and key references you would weigh (breadth evidence) | a curated list |
| Provisional conclusions | Your read of what the field has settled and the open questions (the payoff) | ~1 paragraph |
| Your standing & balance | Why you can review this fairly, and how you will handle your own work even-handedly | ~2 sentences |
Show full SKILL.md (209 more words)Show less
Checklist
- You understand ARE is invited — you are pitching a topic, not submitting a finished paper
- The pitch states the contents, why adjacent economists will care, and the main references you would weigh
- It leads with an organizing spine, not a table of contents
- It demonstrates command of the literature (the reference signal shows breadth)
- It names the provisional conclusions and open questions (so the Committee sees a payoff)
- It addresses balance, especially if you are a contributor to the field
- You have identified the right channel (suggestion form / known editor / Committee contact) and confirmed it on the official page (volatile)
- If already invited: scope/angle confirmed with the editor before heavy reading (
arecon-editor-strategy)
Anti-patterns
- Writing a 40-page draft and trying to submit it cold — ARE does not take unsolicited manuscripts
- A pitch that is a topic outline ("Section 3 will discuss X") with no analytical spine
- A reference list that is a literature dump rather than evidence of a curated, weighable corpus
- Promising "comprehensive coverage" with no statement of what the review will conclude
- Asserting editor names / Committee contacts / process from memory instead of the live Annual Reviews page
- Treating an invitation as a blank check — scope is still negotiated, and a review cannot grow without bound
