Bjps Research Design is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when defending the research design of a British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) manuscript — causal identification for quantitative work, case selection and process tracing for qualitative work, experimental and survey-experimental design, or formal-empirical linkage. BJPS judges each tradition on its own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Experimental design and Econometrics and empirical research. 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.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Bjps Research Design loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 703 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.
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.

.claude/skills/bjps-research-design/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).BJPS accepts many methodologies but is demanding about each. The design must credibly connect the
argument (bjps-theory-building) to evidence, and — because BJPS is international and cross-subfield —
make the case generalize beyond a single setting. This skill is mode-aware: pick the section that
matches your work and defend it against the strongest alternative explanation.
bjps-literature-positioningbjps-transparency-and-data).For the single strongest rival explanation, write one sentence: "If the rival were true rather than my argument, the data would look like ___; instead they look like ___." Then add the generalization sentence: "This design speaks beyond my case because ___." If you cannot write both, the design does not yet identify a contribution of general interest.
Estimate and audit the design, don't only describe it. Full map:
execution-with-mcp. BJPS is comparative/IR-heavy — cross-country panels with confounded institutions; emphasize fixed effects, clustering, and weak-IV-robust inference.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Bjps Research Design is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Bjps Research Design is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
