Workflow steps

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

  1. jeg-topic-selection — is this a first-order growth question inside JEG's scope?
  2. jeg-literature-positioning — locate it against the theory and empirics canon.
  3. jeg-contribution-framing — state the marginal contribution in one paragraph.
  4. jeg-identification-strategy — empirical: causal design; theory: assumptions, results, proof exposition, generality.
  5. jeg-data-analysis — empirical: cross-country/panel estimation; theory: numerical example/calibration.
  6. jeg-tables-figures — convergence plots, transition paths, growth-regression tables.
  7. jeg-writing-style — APA 7 author-year, 150-250 word abstract, JEL codes, LaTeX.
  8. jeg-replication-and-data-policy — Springer Nature Data Availability Statement.
  9. jeg-submission — Springer Nature portal preflight (editable source file required).
  10. jeg-review-process — what to expect after you press submit.
  11. jeg-rebuttal — response-to-referees on 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

Jeg Workflow loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 565 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 orienting and sequencing a full manuscript lifecycle for the Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) — a specialist Springer Nature outlet for economic growth and dynamic macroeconomics spanning theory and empirics. Routes to the other eleven jeg skills and branches by paper type.

JEG Manuscript Workflow (jeg-workflow)

When to trigger

  • Starting a paper you hope to send to the Journal of Economic Growth and wanting a map
  • Unsure which jeg skill to use next, or in what order
  • Deciding whether your project is a theory paper, an empirical paper, or a quantitative/calibrated hybrid — the branch that conditions everything downstream

What JEG is (and what it conditions)

JEG is the principal specialist outlet for theoretical and empirical research in economic growth and dynamic macroeconomics: neoclassical and endogenous growth, human capital, fertility and the demographic transition, trade-and-growth, financial development, migration, technological change, the political economy of growth, and OLG models. It is edited by Oded Galor and published by Springer Nature (est. 1996, quarterly). It is not a general-interest journal — fit to the growth/dynamic-macro scope is the first gate.

Because JEG runs roughly equal theory and empirics, classify your paper early; the identification, data-analysis, and replication skills each fork on this.

The sequence

  1. jeg-topic-selection — is this a first-order growth question inside JEG's scope?
  2. jeg-literature-positioning — locate it against the theory and empirics canon.
  3. jeg-contribution-framing — state the marginal contribution in one paragraph.
  4. jeg-identification-strategy — empirical: causal design; theory: assumptions, results, proof exposition, generality.
  5. jeg-data-analysis — empirical: cross-country/panel estimation; theory: numerical example/calibration.
  6. jeg-tables-figures — convergence plots, transition paths, growth-regression tables.
  7. jeg-writing-style — APA 7 author-year, 150-250 word abstract, JEL codes, LaTeX.
  8. jeg-replication-and-data-policy — Springer Nature Data Availability Statement.
  9. jeg-submission — Springer Nature portal preflight (editable source file required).
  10. jeg-review-process — what to expect after you press submit.
  11. jeg-rebuttal — response-to-referees on an R&R.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating JEG like a general-interest top-5 outlet (it is a specialist journal).
  • Deferring the theory-vs-empirics classification until the identification stage.
  • Skipping the scope check and pitching a paper whose growth content is incidental.

Branch gates by paper type

Each branch carries a gate that, if failed, sends you backward rather than forward:

  • Empirical (persistence / comparative development): before jeg-data-analysis, write an identification memo naming the shock, the exclusion-restriction defense, and the spatial-inference plan (Conley cutoffs, placebo strategy). No memo, no estimation.
  • Theory (growth / dynamic macro): before drafting, write a result memo stating existence, uniqueness, and stability of the balanced-growth path and which assumption is the binding one. A model with no sharp dynamic prediction is not yet a JEG paper.
  • Quantitative/calibrated: before jeg-tables-figures, the moment table must separate targeted from untargeted moments and tie each parameter to a documented source.
  • Mixed papers: run both memos, and check that the model's binding assumption and the empirical shock speak to the same growth mechanism — otherwise the two halves drift apart during drafting.

Worked vignette — routing a comparative-development project

Illustrative project: colonial railroad placement and modern African city growth. Routing: topic-selection passes (a long-run divergence question); literature-positioning flags two strands to bridge (transport-and-development, deep determinants); identification-strategy demands the least-cost-path instrument's exclusion defense plus a Conley plan before any data work; data-analysis schedules the mechanism decomposition (market access versus schooling) as a main exhibit; tables-figures puts the placement map first. Net path: eight of the twelve skills fire before first submission, and the two skipped (review-process, rebuttal) return once the decision letter lands.

Lifecycle pacing (hedged)

A quarterly journal with a specialist referee pool means multi-month review rounds; use the waiting time to harden the replication package and the mechanism appendix. Re-confirm process and formatting details against the journal's current author guidelines at the start of every submission round.
