What it does
Cte Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when polishing the language and rhetoric of a 《财贸经济》 manuscript — eliminating empty-significance phrases, fixing the "加强完善推进" policy formula, replacing method-flexing with identifiable mechanism, and aligning tense / person / hedging with CSSCI house style. 本技能服务于《财贸经济》(Finance & Trade Economics, CTE)。
Its SKILL.md is about 600 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.
When your agent uses it
- Polishing the language and rhetoric of a 《财贸经济》 manuscript — eliminating empty-significance phrases
- Fixing the 加强完善推进 policy formula
- Replacing method-flexing with identifiable mechanism
- Aligning tense / person / hedging with CSSCI house style
Example prompts
- “加强完善推进”
- “/cte-style”
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
Cte Style loads about 597 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 138 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.

语言风格（cte-style）
触发时机
- 通读初稿后觉得"读起来像财经政策文件 / 工作汇报"
- 一段里出现 ≥ 2 个"具有重要意义" / "为高质量发展提供新思路"
- 政策建议读起来像"加强、完善、推进、深化"四件套
- 表格只报数字，没有落到主体的经济含义解读
对照表（黑名单 → 白名单）
| 问题类型 | 黑名单（删/改） | 白名单（替换为） |
|---|---|---|
| 空洞价值 | "具有重要的理论价值" | "为理解 X 提供了 Y 视角下的[企业 / 市场]行为框架" |
| 空洞意义 | "对经济发展具有重要参考价值" | "本文结果意味着 X 政策应将 Y 类主体纳入瞄准范围" |
| 四件套建议 | "应加强 / 完善 / 推进 / 深化……" | "X 部门应在 Y 环节针对 Z 类主体建立……机制" |
| 方法炫耀 | "本文使用复杂的因果识别方法" | "本文利用改革试点的分批推行构造交叠 DID，识别 X" |
| 贡献模糊 | "丰富了财经研究" | "首次利用企业面板识别了 X 政策对 Y 的因果效应" |
| 文献堆砌 | "（张三，2020；李四，2021；……）" | 按贡献分述：理论文献一段、财经实证一段、本文位置一段 |
| 表格无解读 | "表 3 报告了基准回归结果。" | "表 3 显示，减税使企业投资提高约 X%，约相当于样本均值的 Y%" |
| 机制空泛 | "促进了高质量发展" | "通过缓解企业融资约束、降低要素成本实现" |
行文规范
时态
- 描述本文方法 / 数据 → 现在时：本文使用 / 本文构造
- 报告实证结果 → 过去时：研究发现 / 我们检验了
- 解释结果的经济含义 → 现在时：这意味着 / 这一发现表明
人称
- 避免"笔者""我们认为"出现在结论性段落
- 可用："本文发现 / 研究表明 / 结果显示"
- 英文版避免 "We feel that..." / "It is believed that..."
谦逊与边界
- 不要写"本文证明了"——经验研究只能说"本文提供了证据支持"
- 不要把统计显著当作经济显著——财经研究尤其要报告经济量级（如相当于均值的百分比、相当于多少元 / 多少个百分点）
一段一概括
每个段落第一句必须是概括句，后续句子是支撑。审稿人快速读完每段首句应能复原文章逻辑。
错误：
张三（2020）研究发现减税……。李四（2021）发现融资约束……。王五（2022）发现投资……。
正确：
既有研究就减税对企业行为的影响存在分歧（张三，2020；李四，2021）。一类研究强调……，另一类研究强调……。两者的分歧在于对政策内生性的不同处理。
行文自检清单
- 每段首句是概括性陈述
- 黑名单短语命中数 = 0
- 政策建议指明了"谁应该对哪类主体做什么"，无四件套套话
- 表格后有落到主体的经济含义解读，不仅报数字
- 机制阐述落到企业 / 银行 / 居民 / 市场可观测行为，不停在宏观叙事
- 时态、人称在全文统一
- 显著性与经济量级同时报告
反模式
- 通篇"具有重要的 X 意义" —— 一次都不应出现
- 政策建议用"加强、完善、推进、深化"四个动词撑满段落
- 方法描述长于结果阐释
- 机制和政策含义全是宏观口号，不见一个具体主体
- 引言里塞一长串并列文献 —— 拆开分述
输出格式
【黑名单命中】X 处，分别在：[...]
【四件套套话命中】X 处
【段首概括率】X / 总段数
【政策建议落点】明确到主体 / 笼统
【经济含义阐述】到位 / 缺失 [...]
【时态/人称一致性】一致 / 待统一
【下一步】cte-submission《财贸经济》操作审查
先锁定财经问题、政策 / 制度场景、识别链条、机制证据和可执行含义，再判断稿件是否回应财经审稿人通常同时追问的问题意识、政策场景、识别可信度与制度机制。
- 文风审查：把问题意识、识别证据、机制发现和政策含义放在段首主线中，删掉不改变本刊适配性的泛化表述。
- 决策账本：返回"主张 / 证据 / 阻断点 / 下一处改稿"四列，便于下一轮直接改稿。
- 改投比较：对照《经济研究》用于更一般理论贡献，《金融研究》用于纯金融机制，《世界经济》用于开放宏观 / 贸易；若相邻刊物读者匹配更强，先建议改投而非继续润色。
- 核验底线：给投稿就绪判断前，必须重开
