Example prompts

  • “/jbf-workflow”

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. jbf-topic-selection — is the question a fit for a bank/intermediation-focused finance journal?
  2. jbf-literature-positioning — stake the contribution against the banking/finance frontier.
  3. jbf-identification-strategy — credible causal/empirical design for this field (bank panels, policy shocks, IV, event studies).
  4. jbf-data-analysis — sample construction, estimation, and the robustness JBF referees expect.
  5. jbf-tables-figures — clear exhibits with self-contained notes.
  6. jbf-contribution-framing — make the "so what" land for banking/finance readers and policy audiences.
  7. jbf-writing-style — concise, results-forward prose plus numbered-reference readiness.
  8. jbf-replication-and-data-policy — Elsevier Option C data statement plus deposit/link-or-explain package.
  9. jbf-review-process — what double-anonymized review and the desk screen involve.
  10. jbf-submission — Editorial Manager preflight: USD 350 fee, anonymized manuscript + title page, 250-word abstract, keywords, Highlights, AI…
  11. jbf-rebuttal — response-letter strategy for an 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

Jbf Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 563 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

JBF Workflow Router (jbf-workflow)

Use this skill to decide which JBF sub-skill to invoke next for a Journal of Banking & Finance manuscript. JBF is an Elsevier journal (est. 1977, monthly, ISSN 0378-4266) for empirical and theoretical research on banking, financial intermediation, financial institutions, capital markets, investments, corporate finance, and financial regulation — with a strong empirical, bank-focused orientation. This pack is tuned to that nature, not to generic finance writing.

Default order

  1. jbf-topic-selection — is the question a fit for a bank/intermediation-focused finance journal?
  2. jbf-literature-positioning — stake the contribution against the banking/finance frontier.
  3. jbf-identification-strategy — credible causal/empirical design for this field (bank panels, policy shocks, IV, event studies).
  4. jbf-data-analysis — sample construction, estimation, and the robustness JBF referees expect.
  5. jbf-tables-figures — clear exhibits with self-contained notes.
  6. jbf-contribution-framing — make the "so what" land for banking/finance readers and policy audiences.
  7. jbf-writing-style — concise, results-forward prose plus numbered-reference readiness.
  8. jbf-replication-and-data-policy — Elsevier Option C data statement plus deposit/link-or-explain package.
  9. jbf-review-process — what double-anonymized review and the desk screen involve.
  10. jbf-submission — Editorial Manager preflight: USD 350 fee, anonymized manuscript + title page, 250-word abstract, keywords, Highlights, AI declaration, data statement.
  11. jbf-rebuttal — response-letter strategy for an R&R.

Quick routing

  • Brand-new idea → jbf-topic-selection
  • "Why JBF over a top-3 finance journal?" → jbf-contribution-framing
  • Worried about endogeneity in a bank panel → jbf-identification-strategy
  • Submitting this week → jbf-submission (then jbf-review-process)
  • Got an R&R → jbf-rebuttal

Verify volatile specifics (fee, editor roster, special-issue instructions) on the official ScienceDirect Guide for Authors — see resources/official-source-map.md.

Router diagnostics

  • Scope is generic finance, not banking/intermediation -> jbf-topic-selection.
  • Endogeneity or bank-panel design is weak -> jbf-identification-strategy.
  • Licensed-data path is not reproducible -> jbf-replication-and-data-policy.
  • Tables omit units, clustering, or economic magnitudes -> jbf-tables-figures.
  • Results read as significance-only -> jbf-writing-style.

Stage gates for a JBF lifecycle

Place the manuscript at a gate before routing; do not advance until the exit condition holds.

Illustrative routing pass

A draft asks whether the Basel III liquidity coverage ratio shifted bank lending toward short maturities, using a bank-quarter Call Reports panel.

  • The question is squarely bank-regulatory, so G0 passes without rerouting.
  • The introduction cites a broad liquidity literature but no closest paper on the LCR and credit supply — route to jbf-literature-positioning.
  • Identification leans on plain TWFE around a single adoption date with no untreated banks; jbf-identification-strategy flags the missing size-threshold contrast (the rule binds for large banks first) before any table work starts.
  • Only after G2 holds does the pipeline-to-exhibit chain (jbf-data-analysis → jbf-tables-figures) begin; running it earlier wastes a robustness battery on a design that will change.

Common misroutes

  • Sending an R&R straight to jbf-writing-style: triage with jbf-rebuttal first — prose fixes cannot answer identification comments.
  • Building exhibits before G2 holds: staggered-DID corrections re-cut every table.
  • Treating the data statement as submission-day paperwork: licensed bank-data documentation starts at G3, not G6.
  • Pitching breadth ("banking and markets and fintech"): JBF rewards one anchored intermediation margin per paper.
