At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the contribution-vs-frontier claim is fuzzy, oversold, or under-cited for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript spanning any field of economics.

  • Works in 4 steps: Locate the frontier precisely → State the marginal contribution as a delta → Position across fields where relevant → …
  • The contribution-vs-frontier claim is fuzzy
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, The EER positioning bar, Positioning moves and Checklist, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Eer Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the contribution-vs-frontier claim is fuzzy, oversold, or under-cited for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript spanning any field of economics. Sharpens the gap and the marginal contribution; it does not fix identification or prose.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. 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

  • The contribution-vs-frontier claim is fuzzy
  • Under-cited for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript spanning any field of economics

Example prompts

  • “/eer-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Locate the frontier precisely
  2. State the marginal contribution as a delta
  3. Position across fields where relevant
  4. Calibrate the claim

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

Eer Literature Positioning loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Literature Positioning (eer-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • The "what's new here" sentence is vague, defensive, or missing
  • Reviewers say the contribution is "incremental" or "already known"
  • The related-work section is a list of citations, not an argument
  • You cannot name the 3–5 papers your result directly displaces or extends

The EER positioning bar

EER is general-interest across all of economics, so the contribution must be legible to a reader outside your subfield while withstanding the scrutiny of those inside it. That means a two-layer positioning: (1) a broad-interest hook — why a generalist should care — and (2) a precise frontier delta — exactly which result you extend, overturn, or quantify, with the closest 3–5 papers named. Single-anonymized review means the referees are likely the authors you cite: be accurate and fair, neither dismissive nor over-deferential.

Positioning moves

1. Locate the frontier precisely
  • Name the closest current papers (not the founding classics) your result speaks to.
  • For each, state in one clause what they did and what they left open.
  • Distinguish your contribution from concurrent/working-paper work explicitly.
2. State the marginal contribution as a delta
  • Use a "we are first to / we show that, unlike X, …" sentence that is true and checkable.
  • Pick one primary contribution; relegate secondary ones to a short list.
  • Tie the delta to the general-interest hook so breadth and novelty reinforce.
3. Position across fields where relevant
  • EER readers cross fields: connect a macro result to its micro evidence, an IO result to its welfare reading, etc.
  • A cross-field bridge is itself a breadth signal EER rewards.
4. Calibrate the claim
  • Match the size of the claim to the strength of the design/theory (see eer-identification, eer-theory-model).
  • Pre-empt "already known" by citing the near-miss and saying precisely how you differ.

Checklist

  • The 3–5 closest frontier papers are named, each with "did / left open"
  • One primary marginal contribution stated as a checkable delta
  • Broad-interest hook present and tied to the frontier delta
  • Concurrent work acknowledged and distinguished
  • Citations are fair and accurate (referees may be the cited authors)
  • Claim size matches design/theory strength — no overselling
  • At least one cross-field bridge where the result naturally travels

Anti-patterns

  • A related-work paragraph that lists citations without an argumentative gap
  • Citing only 1990s classics and missing the live frontier the referees work on
  • "First to study X" claims that a single search would falsify
  • Dismissing the nearest competitor instead of crediting and differentiating it
  • Burying the contribution so a generalist editor cannot find it before desk-screening
  • Overselling a field-internal increment as a general-interest breakthrough

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A public-finance paper estimates the incidence of a carbon tax. A weak positioning says "we contribute to the carbon-tax literature." An EER positioning says: "Closest are A (estimates incidence assuming fixed pass-through) and B (allows pass-through but ignores informal substitution); we relax both and show informal substitution shifts incidence toward poorer households by ~30% (illustrative) — a general lesson about how informal margins change the distributional reading of any consumption tax." Generalist hook (who bears taxes) + precise delta (relaxes two assumptions of named papers) + cross-field travel (any consumption tax).

Output format

【Broad-interest hook】one sentence a generalist cares about
【Closest frontier】3–5 papers, each "did X / left open Y"
【Marginal contribution】the checkable delta (primary)
【Cross-field bridge】where the result travels
【Claim calibration】matched to design/theory strength? [Y/N]
【Next step】eer-identification (empirical) or eer-theory-model (theory)
