What it does

Cte Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a 《财贸经济》 manuscript is at the topic-selection stage and the fit to fiscal / tax / finance / trade / consumption scope, the theoretical grounding, the marginal-contribution sentences, or the venue match are unsettled. Produces the contribution-sentence template and the scope-fit checklist. 本技能服务于《财贸经济》(Finance & Trade Economics, CTE)。

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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

  • A 《财贸经济》 manuscript is at the topic-selection stage and the fit to fiscal / tax / finance / trade / consumption scope
  • The theoretical grounding
  • The marginal-contribution sentences
  • The venue match are unsettled

Example prompts

  • “/cte-topic-selection”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 财经议题:选题必须真正落在财政、税收、货币金融、贸易、流通或消费上,第一段就要说明"这是一个什么财经问题、为什么现在做"
  2. 理论贡献 + 政策现实并重:仅"现象 + 描述统计 + 政策口号"不够,要能挂上一支理论(财政分权、最优税收、货币传导、金融摩擦、贸易与产业组织、消费与福利等),同时紧扣一项中国重大财经政策现实
  3. 边际贡献可枚举:能拆成 3–5 条独立、互不重叠的贡献

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 Topic Selection loads about 554 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 101 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~554

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.

财贸经济选题(cte-topic-selection)

触发时机

  • 用户说"我想冲《财贸经济》,但不确定选题够不够'财经'"
  • 边际贡献写不出来 / 写了一段但审稿人 buy 不了
  • 不确定该投《财贸经济》、《金融研究》、《世界经济》还是综合性经济学期刊

三个硬约束

《财贸经济》对选题的硬约束:

  1. 财经议题:选题必须真正落在财政、税收、货币金融、贸易、流通或消费上,第一段就要说明"这是一个什么财经问题、为什么现在做"
  2. 理论贡献 + 政策现实并重:仅"现象 + 描述统计 + 政策口号"不够,要能挂上一支理论(财政分权、最优税收、货币传导、金融摩擦、贸易与产业组织、消费与福利等),同时紧扣一项中国重大财经政策现实
  3. 边际贡献可枚举:能拆成 3–5 条独立、互不重叠的贡献

选题范围自检(落到财经)

本刊关注的主流议题(用来判断"是否对口"):

  • 财政与政府间关系(财政分权、转移支付、地方债、财政可持续、支出结构)
  • 税收(税制改革、减税降费、增值税 / 所得税、税收征管、税负与企业行为)
  • 货币与金融(货币政策传导、利率市场化、金融监管、系统性风险、影子银行、数字金融)
  • 贸易与开放(关税、贸易政策、出口企业、全球价值链、外资与开放红利)
  • 流通与市场(商贸流通、供应链、市场一体化、平台经济、要素市场)
  • 消费与居民福利(消费升级、收入分配、社会保障、住房、养老、共同富裕)

如果选题在上述清单里找不到落点,多半不对口本刊。

理论贡献自检

写完一句话摘要后,逐条自检:

  • 本文挂在哪一支理论上?(财政分权 / 最优税收 / 货币传导 / 金融摩擦 / 贸易组织 / 消费福利)
  • 该理论分支的代表性文献是哪 2–3 篇(含财经领域中文权威与国际理论)?
  • 本文相对于该理论的边际差异是什么?(修正 / 扩展 / 引入新机制 / 提供首个中国制度证据)
  • 中国财经制度是否提供了海外文献没有的识别机会(如某项财税 / 金融改革的准实验冲击)?

少于 3 个 yes → 选题深度不够,回到财经理论文献再读两轮。

边际贡献四句式

本文的边际贡献主要体现在以下四个方面:
第一,[理论维度]——本文将……纳入[财政分权 / 货币传导 / 金融摩擦等理论框架],区别于[已有研究]……。
第二,[识别策略维度]——本文利用[财税 / 金融 / 贸易政策冲击]构造……,缓解了[政策内生 / 自选择 / 反向因果]带来的内生性问题。
第三,[机制维度]——本文揭示了[企业 / 银行 / 居民 / 地方政府层面]的……机制,回答了已有文献"知其然不知其所以然"的问题。
第四,[政策意义维度]——本文为理解[财税体制 / 金融改革 / 扩内需 / 共同富裕等议题]提供了……证据。

四条都齐才算合格。少于四条 → 选题深度不够。

期刊匹配判断

财贸经济金融研究世界经济综合经济学期刊
学科财政 / 金融 / 贸易 / 流通 / 消费金融专门国际经济 / 开放宏观一般经济学
中国财经制度场景必备偏市场机制偏国际维度不要求
因果识别高门槛高门槛高门槛高门槛
政策现实相关性强中中中

若选题偏纯资产定价 / 公司金融 → 《金融研究》;偏国际贸易 / 开放宏观 → 《世界经济》;理论贡献更一般 → 《经济研究》。

反模式

  • 选题脱离中国财经制度背景,讲一个可移植到任何国家的通用故事
  • "现象 + 描述统计 + 政策建议"三段式,无理论、无识别
  • 边际贡献写成一段散文,拆不出 3–5 条
