What it does
Finman Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a topic fits Financial Management (FM) and is worth aiming there — testing the question for general-interest finance relevance, topicality, and managerial/market payoff before the literature and design work begins. Sets the target; it does not run analysis or write the paper.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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.

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

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
Finman Topic Selection loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,105 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.

- description
- Use when deciding whether a topic fits Financial Management (FM) and is worth aiming there — testing the question for general-interest finance relevance, topicality, and managerial/market payoff before the literature and design work begins. Sets the target; it does not run analysis or write the paper.
Topic Selection (finman-topic-selection)
When to trigger
- You have a finance result or idea and are unsure FM is the right home (vs. a specialist or a top-3 outlet)
- A coauthor asks "is this general-interest enough, or too niche, for FM?"
- The question feels technically sound but you cannot yet say why a practitioner or a non-specialist finance academic would care
- The topic feels dated — re-treading a settled debate rather than a live one
The FM topic bar
FM is the FMA's general-interest finance journal, and its editors are unusually explicit about taste: they want "academic articles that people actually read," judged on originality, rigor, timeliness, practical relevance, and quality, with less weight on trivial robustness and real weight on whether the paper "provokes and furthers debate." Translated into a topic filter, an FM-worthy question is one a corporate-finance, asset-pricing, banking, or markets reader would all find interesting, that speaks to a decision a manager, investor, regulator, or trader actually faces, and that is topical — anchored to a current or emerging financial issue rather than a marginal extension of a 2008 debate. The journal also actively solicits work "from anywhere around the globe," so a clean non-US setting is an asset, not a liability, when the financial mechanism is general.
Deciding whether the topic is FM-shaped
Run the question through four gates, in order. If it fails the first two, FM is probably the wrong target; if it fails the last two, the topic needs reframing before you proceed.
- General-interest gate. Could you state the finding in one sentence to a finance seminar with no field specialists and have them care? If it only lands with, say, microstructure insiders, consider a specialist outlet — or recast the takeaway around the broader implication.
- Decision-relevance gate. Name the agent whose decision changes if the result is true — a CFO setting payout, an investor pricing a factor, a regulator weighing a rule, a board designing pay. If no such agent exists, the "practical relevance" criterion is unmet.
- Topicality gate. Tie the question to a live or emerging issue (a recent regulation, a new instrument, a market structure shift, a data-newly-available phenomenon). A timely hook is one of FM's five stated criteria.
- Originality gate. State the new thing — a new fact, a new mechanism, a new identification of an old mechanism, or a clean answer to a genuinely open question. "We add controls to a known result" fails this gate at FM.
Topic signals by FM subfield
FM is general-interest, so the same four gates apply across very different subfields — but the shape of an FM-worthy question differs by area. Use this to pressure-test the topic against its home subfield's FM bar.
| Subfield | An FM-shaped question looks like | A too-narrow / mis-targeted version |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate finance | a financing/investment/M&A decision affected by a live shock, with a managerial takeaway | a marginal re-test of pecking order on a new sample |
| Payout & capital structure | how a policy choice responds to a tax/regulatory change that separates competing theories | another determinants-of-leverage regression |
| Governance | a board/ownership mechanism with a credible source of variation and a board-relevant implication | a governance-index correlation with performance |
| Investments / asset pricing | a return pattern that speaks to a general debate (risk vs. mispricing) and survives costs | a factor zoo addition with no economic story |
| Banking / intermediation | an information/frictions mechanism that generalizes beyond banks | a bank-specific regulatory note |
| Markets / microstructure | a market-design or liquidity finding with implications a trader/regulator acts on | a venue-specific tick-size technicality |
Checklist
- One-sentence claim is legible to a general finance audience, not only a subfield
- The decision-maker who would act on the result is named (manager / investor / regulator / board)
- The question is tied to a current or emerging financial issue (timeliness)
- The originality is stated as a specific new fact/mechanism/answer, not an incremental extension
- The setting (US or non-US) is justified by the generality of the mechanism, not convenience
- The topic fits the FM-shaped column for its subfield, not the too-narrow column
- You can articulate why this is FM and not a specialist sibling or a top-3 desk

Anti-patterns
- A technically clean paper with no audience beyond one subfield — "rigorous but no one reads it"
- Pitching a marginal extension of a long-settled debate as if novelty came from the new sample
- Leading with method ("we apply estimator X") instead of the financial question and its stakes
- Treating a non-US setting as a defect to apologize for, rather than evidence of generality
- Assuming exotic data alone makes a topic FM-worthy without a decision-relevant payoff
Worked vignette (illustrative)
A draft documents that firms in one country smooth dividends more after a 2023 tax change. As framed it reads like a country-specific note. The FM reframe: ask the general-interest question — do payout commitments respond to tax-induced changes in the marginal investor's clientele, and what should a CFO infer about signaling vs. catering? Now the decision-maker (the CFO setting payout policy), the topicality (a 2023 reform), and the originality (clean tax variation that separates two payout theories) are all explicit, and a non-US setting becomes the source of identification rather than a parochial limitation.
Early routing decisions this stage settles
Topic selection is also where you decide, provisionally, two things that shape the whole pipeline:
- Whether FM is the right target at all. If the question fails the general-interest and decision-relevance gates, route the user honestly to a specialist sibling rather than forcing an FM pitch the editors will see through. Naming the correct home early saves a desk-reject and a fee.
- Where the binding constraint will be. A topic whose novelty is a new fact will live or die on measurement and framing; one whose novelty is a causal claim about an old mechanism will live or die on identification. Flag this so
finman-workflowcan route to the right next link instead of marching through every stage.
Reframes that rescue a borderline topic
When a topic fails a gate, it is often salvageable by changing the question, not the data:
- Fails general-interest → lift the takeaway one level: from "X happens in industry Y" to the mechanism (information, frictions, incentives) that travels across industries.
- Fails decision-relevance → name the agent and the decision explicitly; if you cannot, the finding may be a measurement curiosity better suited elsewhere.
- Fails timeliness → re-anchor to a current shock, instrument, or newly available dataset that makes the old question live again.
- Fails originality → find the disagreement your result settles, or the fact no one has cleanly documented, rather than the marginal coefficient you add. A topic that survives all four after reframing is genuinely FM-shaped; one that needs the data to do the persuading is not.
