What it does
Eer Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising prose for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript — the abstract, introduction arc, research highlights, and Elsevier house conventions. Makes the general-interest idea land; it does not establish identification, theory, or exhibits.
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 Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. 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
- Revising prose for a European Economic Review (EER) manuscript — the abstract
- Introduction arc
- Research highlights
- Elsevier house conventions
Example prompts
- “/eer-writing-style”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Question — a first-order economic question a generalist cares about (one sentence).
- Why it is hard / open — the obstacle (identification, theory gap, measurement).
- Approach — data + design or model, in plain terms.
- Headline result with uncertainty — the magnitude with a standard error / CI, early, in units.
- Mechanism / interpretation — what drives it; what it means.
- Contribution & lesson — the checkable delta + the portable lesson (ties to eer-literature-positioning).
- Scope — what the result does not establish.
- Brief roadmap — short, no over-signposting.
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 Writing Style loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 502 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.

Writing Style (eer-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The introduction buries the question under data or machinery
- The abstract is a method recital, not a result a generalist can grasp
- Research highlights, keywords, or JEL codes are missing or weak
- The prose reads as field-internal and loses the general-interest reader
The EER writing bar
EER is general-interest, so the writing must make a non-specialist economist see the question, the answer, and why it matters — fast — while satisfying specialists on rigor. Elsevier economics house elements: a structured/concise abstract, research highlights (a few bullet points capturing the core findings), JEL codes and keywords, a declaration of interest, and SEs reported in the text rather than significance-star prose. The introduction must execute a clear arc and the headline result with its uncertainty should appear early.
The EER introduction arc
- Question — a first-order economic question a generalist cares about (one sentence).
- Why it is hard / open — the obstacle (identification, theory gap, measurement).
- Approach — data + design or model, in plain terms.
- Headline result with uncertainty — the magnitude with a standard error / CI, early, in units.
- Mechanism / interpretation — what drives it; what it means.
- Contribution & lesson — the checkable delta + the portable lesson (ties to
eer-literature-positioning). - Scope — what the result does not establish.
- Brief roadmap — short, no over-signposting.
House elements
- Abstract: concise, result-forward, generalist-legible; state the headline finding, not just the method (re-confirm any word limit on the guide for authors — 检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
- Research highlights: a few short bullets, each a concrete finding (Elsevier requirement).
- JEL codes + keywords: accurate and cross-field where the result travels.
- Declaration of interest and funding statement present.
- Numbers in prose: report point estimate + SE/CI, never an asterisk in a sentence.
Show full SKILL.md (218 more words)Show less
Checklist
- First paragraph states the question + headline quantity + its uncertainty
- A non-specialist can state the contribution after reading the intro
- Abstract is result-forward, not a method recital
- Research highlights present (concrete findings, not topics)
- JEL codes + keywords accurate; cross-field where relevant
- Declaration of interest + funding statement included
- In-text numbers carry SEs/CIs, no significance asterisks in sentences
- Scope sentence states what is NOT claimed; roadmap is brief
Anti-patterns
- Leading the intro with the estimator/solver instead of the economic question
- An abstract that says what you did but not what you found
- "Significant at the 1% level (***)" prose instead of an estimate with an SE
- Throat-clearing ("X has been studied extensively") with vague stakes
- Field jargon that loses the general-interest reader on page one
- Over-signposted roadmap doing the work the argument should do
- Missing research highlights / declaration of interest (Elsevier requirements)
Worked vignette (illustrative)
Before: "We estimate a structural model by SMM and find the pass-through elasticity is significant at the 1% level (***)." After: "When an input cost rises, how much reaches consumers? We find a 10% cost shock raises retail prices 6.2% (s.e. 0.7) — about a third is absorbed by consumer search — implying that wherever shoppers can compare sellers, measured pass-through understates the underlying shock." Question + magnitude + uncertainty + portable lesson, no stars, in two sentences. See resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md.
