ecj-workflowA skill your agent uses when deciding which ecj- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Economic Journal (EJ) submission.
Ecj Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which ecj- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Economic Journal (EJ) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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. 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.
11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
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.
Ecj Workflow loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 874 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/ecj-workflow/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).This is the router. It does not replace any specialized skill. It tells you which ecj- skill to use given where you are right now* in a manuscript aimed at The Economic Journal (EJ) — the Royal Economic Society's flagship general-interest journal, founded 1891 and published by Oxford University Press. EJ publishes across all fields of economics, theory and applied alike, for a broad international readership, and prizes work that is technically well-crafted, makes a substantial contribution, and is of broad interest to economists at large. Its house personality is breadth of relevance plus clear exposition — a sharp idea legible to a generalist beats a narrow result only specialists can read.
Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as EJ. Operational tells that you are at EJ and not a sibling: submission is through the Editorial Express portal (not ScholarOne); review is single-blind (referees are anonymous to authors; authors are not anonymized); there is an explicit short-paper option in the AER:Insights style (<6,000 words, 5 exhibits) alongside full-length articles; and accepted empirical, experimental, and numerical papers go through an EJ Data Editor reproducibility check with the replication package deposited to Zenodo or another trusted repository. Editor-in-chief as of the 2026-06-20 source refresh: Francesco Lippi; Data Editor: Damian Clarke. Re-verify volatile fees, charges, and rosters on the official OUP/RES pages.
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Idea is narrow / not clearly of broad interest to economists at large | ecj-topic-selection |
| Lit review reads as a list; contribution not framed for a general audience | ecj-literature-positioning |
| Empirics are OLS + controls; causal claim not defended | ecj-identification |
| A reduced-form result has no model / mechanism behind it | ecj-theory-model |
| Theory/structural model present but its discipline is unclear | ecj-theory-model |
| Main result rests on a single specification | ecj-robustness |
| Tables overloaded; figures not carrying the economic story | ecj-tables-figures |
| Prose buries the idea; a generalist cannot follow the argument | ecj-writing-style |
| Accepted/near-accept; need a DCAS package for the EJ Data Editor / Zenodo | ecj-replication-package |
| Want to anticipate the breadth/identification objections a referee will raise | ecj-referee-strategy |
| Ready to submit via Editorial Express; need a single-blind preflight | ecj-submission |
| Received an R&R; need the response-letter strategy | ecj-rebuttal |
ecj-topic-selection — lock a question of broad interest, and decide full-length vs. short paperecj-literature-positioning — situate the contribution for a general-interest readershipecj-identification — make the causal/empirical claim credibleecj-theory-model — the model or mechanism that gives the result its economic meaningecj-robustness — kill the alternative explanations a referee will floatecj-tables-figures — finalize exhibits so each carries economic contentecj-writing-style — make the idea land for a generalist (intro/abstract last)ecj-referee-strategy — pre-mortem the report you expect, patch holesecj-replication-package — assemble data/code to DCAS standard for the EJ Data Editorecj-submission — Editorial Express preflight (single-blind, JEL, short-paper option)ecj-rebuttal — after the R&R lands
ecj-writing-styleis a late polish stage; do not rewrite the intro before identification and the model settle. At EJ, exposition is part of the contribution — budget real time for it, but after the substance is sound.

ecj-workflow question ladder (EJ, single-blind)
Q1 breadth would an economist outside your field finish
this paper? no → ecj-topic-selection
Q1b length result sharp but compact? consider the short
paper (<6,000 words, 5 exhibits,
AER:Insights style) yes → flag for ecj-submission
Q2 positioning does the intro say what economics at large
learns, not just who wrote before? no → ecj-literature-positioning
Q3 causal claim is the empirical claim defended beyond
OLS + controls? no → ecj-identification
Q4 mechanism is there a model or mechanism disciplining
the reduced form? no → ecj-theory-model
Q5 robustness does the result survive off a single
specification? no → ecj-robustness
Q6 exhibits does each table and figure carry the
economic story on its own? no → ecj-tables-figures
Q7 exposition can a generalist still follow the argument
by page 3? no → ecj-writing-style
Q8 pre-mortem have the expected referee objections been
patched in the draft? no → ecj-referee-strategy
Q9 package DCAS-standard replication set ready for the
EJ Data Editor (Zenodo or another trusted
repository)? no → ecj-replication-package
ALL YES → Editorial Express preflight (JEL codes, paper type) → ecj-submission
R&R arrives → ecj-rebuttalEJ is a leading general-interest journal just below the top-5, with a distinct taste:
If the paper is purely methodological/econometric, The Econometrics Journal (also RES) may fit better. If it is a narrow field contribution a generalist would skip, reconsider framing in ecj-topic-selection before targeting EJ.
