What it does

Jeg Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when polishing Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) prose — abstract, introduction, model exposition, empirical-result and magnitude-translation paragraphs, APA author-year references, keywords, JEL codes, and Springer Nature declarations for growth and comparative-development manuscripts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 and Translation. 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

  • Polishing Journal of Economic Growth (JEG) prose — abstract
  • Model exposition
  • Empirical-result and magnitude-translation paragraphs
  • APA author-year references

Example prompts

  • “/jeg-writing-style”

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 Writing Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 564 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
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.

Writing Style (jeg-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • The paper is technically complete but the growth contribution is not legible
  • Abstract, introduction, or model section needs JEG-specific tightening
  • Springer metadata, APA references, declarations, or keywords need final polish

Style principles

  • Lead with the growth question and mechanism.
  • State whether the paper is theoretical, empirical, or mixed.
  • Translate estimates or model results into growth economics: convergence, long-run income, productivity, fertility, human capital, technology, institutions.
  • Keep claims bounded to the sample, model, and identifying assumptions.
  • Use author-year citations with an APA 7 style reference list.

Abstract repair pattern

Use this order:

text
Question -> growth mechanism -> method/data/model -> headline result -> scope/implication.

Avoid abstracts that lead with "we develop a model" or "we use a panel" without naming the growth mechanism. For JEG, method is persuasive only after the growth question is clear.

Mechanism-first introduction

The first two pages should answer:

  • What growth fact or dynamic pattern is hard to explain?
  • Which mechanism is proposed: human capital, fertility, technology, institutions, finance, migration, inequality, political economy, structural transformation, or another channel?
  • Why does the model, data, or calibration isolate that mechanism rather than merely document an association?
  • What changes in our understanding of long-run growth or development?

Move institutional background, data details, and calibration minutiae after this chain is visible. JEG readers need the growth mechanism before they need the technical inventory.

Magnitude translation rules

JEG prose converts coefficients into growth language; a raw beta is a draft, not a result:

  • Long-run level effects: give log points and the implied ratio ("0.14 log points, roughly a 15% income gap").
  • Growth-rate effects: annualize and compound ("0.3 percentage points of annual growth compounds to about 35% higher income over a century" — illustrative arithmetic).
  • Convergence results: translate the coefficient into the half-life of the income gap.
  • Calibration output: state the share of an observed gap or transition the mechanism accounts for, with the untargeted-moment fit reported alongside.
  • Fertility and demographic results: express effects in children per woman and transition-timing years, then connect them to income per capita through the model's quantity-quality margin.

Worked vignette — rewriting a persistence-results paragraph

Before (illustrative): "The coefficient on historical literacy is 0.21 and significant at the 1% level across all specifications."

After: "Districts one standard deviation above the mean in 1880 literacy have roughly 21% higher GDP per capita today (Conley SE, 250 km). Through the lens of the model, about half of this gap reflects intergenerational human-capital transmission; the remainder loads on the institutional channel examined in Section 6. Taken at face value, historical literacy differences account for an illustrative one-fifth of present-day interdistrict income dispersion."

The rewrite names the unit, the spatial inference, the mechanism split, and the aggregate stake — the four things a growth specialist scans a results paragraph for.

Section architecture in accepted articles (hedged)

  • Comparative-development empirics commonly run: introduction → historical background → data → empirical strategy → results → mechanisms → often a model rationalizing the findings → conclusion.
  • Theory papers commonly run: introduction → model → equilibrium and dynamics → comparative statics or calibration → empirical or historical corroboration → conclusion.
  • In both modes a long online appendix is the norm while the main text stays mechanism-first; treat these orderings as priors from recent issues and verify formatting specifics against the journal's current author guidelines.

Submission-sensitive details

  • Abstract should be 150-250 words.
  • Provide 4-6 keywords and JEL classification codes.
  • Include Statements/Declarations where required by Springer.
  • LLMs cannot be authors; disclose LLM use if applicable.
  • Use editable LaTeX source or Word files.
