When your agent uses it
- Deciding which imfer- sub-skill to invoke next
- Sequencing manuscript work from topic through rebuttal for an IMF Economic Review (IMFER) submission
Example prompts
- “/imfer-workflow”
Workflow steps
11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- imfer-topic-selection — lock the international-macro question with a policy hook
- imfer-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. JIE/JIMF and the IMF frontier
- imfer-identification — cross-country / high-frequency / crisis-event identification
- imfer-theory-model — open-economy model that disciplines or interprets the estimate
- imfer-robustness — specification, sample, and country-composition stability
- imfer-tables-figures — exhibits with transparent country coverage, no asterisks
- imfer-writing-style — make the idea land for the dual academic/policy audience (intro last)
- imfer-replication-package — assemble the data/code package with restricted-data paths
- imfer-referee-strategy — anticipate the dual-referee objections
- imfer-submission — Editorial Manager double-blind preflight
- imfer-rebuttal — after the R&R
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
Imfer Workflow loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 717 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.

IMFER Workflow Router (imfer-workflow)
Overview
This is the router. It tells you which imfer- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at IMF Economic Review (IMFER) — the International Monetary Fund's flagship scholarly journal, published by Palgrave Macmillan / Springer Nature for the IMF, and the successor to IMF Staff Papers. IMFER's center of gravity is international macroeconomics and finance with strong policy relevance: exchange rates and capital flows, global imbalances, financial crises and contagion, sovereign debt, monetary and fiscal policy in open economies, IMF-program-relevant questions, and international spillovers. A distinctive pipeline is the Jacques Polak Annual Research Conference (ARC), whose papers often appear as IMFER special issues.
Operational tells you are at IMFER and not a sibling or generic field journal: the audience is part academic, part policy/institutional — a referee reads as both a frontier researcher and someone who could brief an IMF mission; review is double-blind (anonymize the main file); house style is the Chicago Manual of Style with American spelling; the abstract is italicized and JEL codes are required. Editor-in-chief as of 2026: Jesús Fernández-Villaverde (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the Springer Nature IMFER pages.
When to trigger
- The user asks "what should I do next?" on an IMFER-bound paper
- A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed (fit, design, theory, evidence, exhibits, style, submission)
- Work is ping-ponging between identification, the model, robustness, and the policy framing
- An IMFER decision letter arrived and the user must switch into revision mode
- The team is weighing IMFER against JIE, JIMF, JMCB, or Economic Policy
Routing table
| Current symptom | Next skill |
|---|---|
| Question feels narrow / not clearly international-macro with policy relevance | imfer-topic-selection |
| Contribution vs. JIE / JIMF / the IMF research frontier is fuzzy | imfer-literature-positioning |
| Cross-country causal design or policy-surprise identification is shaky | imfer-identification |
| The open-economy model / mechanism is loose or disconnected from the data | imfer-theory-model |
| Results may be specification-, sample-, or country-composition-sensitive | imfer-robustness |
| Exhibits are dense; significance asterisks still present; country coverage opaque | imfer-tables-figures |
| Prose buries the policy implication; abstract/intro do not land for a mixed audience | imfer-writing-style |
| Data, restricted IMF/central-bank paths, and code need packaging | imfer-replication-package |
| Likely objections should be war-gamed before submission | imfer-referee-strategy |
| Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need a preflight | imfer-submission |
| An R&R arrived; need a response-letter strategy | imfer-rebuttal |
Default order
imfer-topic-selection— lock the international-macro question with a policy hookimfer-literature-positioning— stake the contribution vs. JIE/JIMF and the IMF frontierimfer-identification— cross-country / high-frequency / crisis-event identificationimfer-theory-model— open-economy model that disciplines or interprets the estimateimfer-robustness— specification, sample, and country-composition stabilityimfer-tables-figures— exhibits with transparent country coverage, no asterisksimfer-writing-style— make the idea land for the dual academic/policy audience (intro last)imfer-replication-package— assemble the data/code package with restricted-data pathsimfer-referee-strategy— anticipate the dual-referee objectionsimfer-submission— Editorial Manager double-blind preflightimfer-rebuttal— after the R&R
imfer-writing-styleis a late polish; do not rewrite the intro before identification, the model, and robustness settle.

Routing by paper archetype
IMFER spans several international-macro branches; the binding constraint differs by archetype.
| Archetype | Likely first bottleneck | Enter at |
|---|---|---|
| cross-country panel (capital flows, debt, crises) | country composition + spillover identification | imfer-identification → imfer-robustness |
| high-frequency policy-surprise (monetary/FX, spillovers) | clean surprise series + exclusion | imfer-identification |
| open-economy DSGE / international-finance model | parameter identification + counterfactual validity | imfer-theory-model → imfer-identification |
| crisis event study / narrative | event windows + confounding macro shocks | imfer-identification → imfer-robustness |
| ARC / special-issue invited paper | sharpening the policy contribution to the issue theme | imfer-topic-selection → imfer-literature-positioning |
Worked routing example (illustrative)
A user says: "My cross-country panel shows capital-flow controls dampen crisis risk, but a referee says the result is driven by a handful of Asian economies and the controls are endogenous to the crisis." That is two distinct IMFER pushbacks — country-composition fragility (owned by imfer-robustness) and policy endogeneity (owned by imfer-identification). Route to identification first to defend the design, then to robustness to show the effect survives dropping the Asian bloc; only once the coefficient is stable do you return to imfer-tables-figures and imfer-rebuttal.
Anti-patterns
- Treating IMFER like JIE (pure international trade/finance theory-and-empirics, less policy framing) or JIMF (broader, faster, less selective)
- Polishing prose before identification, the model, and robustness are stable
- Letting the online appendix carry a claim the main text must establish
- Forgetting the policy "so what" — a clean estimate with no IMF-relevant implication reads as the wrong journal
- Leaving author-identifying traces in a double-blind main file
