  • Calibrating completeness vs
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, Completeness vs. selectivity:…, Fairness across schools,… and The self-citation trap, plus 3 more sections

What it does

Jel Comprehensiveness And Balance is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when calibrating completeness vs. selectivity and ensuring fairness across schools, authors, and controversies in a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — including not over-promoting the author's own work. Audits coverage and even-handedness; it does not design the framework (jel-organizing-framework) or write prose (jel-writing-style).

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. 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

  • Calibrating completeness vs
  • Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone

Example prompts

  • “/jel-comprehensiveness-and-balance”

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

Jel Comprehensiveness And Balance loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
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 calibrating completeness vs. selectivity and ensuring fairness across schools, authors, and controversies in a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey — including not over-promoting the author's own work. Audits coverage and even-handedness; it does not design the framework (jel-organizing-framework) or write prose (jel-writing-style).

Comprehensiveness & Balance (jel-comprehensiveness-and-balance)

When to trigger

  • The framework is set and you are filling cells with the literature
  • You are unsure whether to cite everything or curate
  • The field has rival schools, a live controversy, or conflicting empirical results
  • You are a contributor to this literature and worry the survey tilts toward your own work

Completeness vs. selectivity: the JEL contract

A JEL survey must be comprehensive in coverage yet selective in emphasis. The reader should trust that nothing important is missing, while the prose foregrounds what matters. Resolve the tension by tiering the corpus:

TierTreatment
Foundational / field-definingdiscussed in the text, with what they established and their limits
Important contributionsgrouped and weighed within the framework's cells; cited with their finding
Confirmatory / incrementalcited in clusters ("see also …") to demonstrate coverage without bloating prose
Tangentialcited only where they bear on a specific claim; not every adjacent paper belongs

Comprehensiveness is proven by the citation set (the saturation log from jel-literature-synthesis); selectivity is exercised in the prose. A survey that discusses every paper at equal length has abdicated the editorial judgment that is its value.

Fairness across schools, authors, and findings

JEL is the survey of record: its account of a debate becomes the field's shared reference. That obliges genuine even-handedness:

  • Steelman every camp. State each school's strongest case in terms its proponents would accept before noting its weaknesses. Refute positions at their best, never at their worst.
  • Weigh, don't tally. Conflicting results are reconciled by credibility (identification, data, replication) and by what each estimates, not by vote-counting "7 studies find positive, 4 negative."
  • Attribute ideas correctly. Credit originators, not just popularizers; this is a recurring referee complaint.
  • Handle live controversies without resolving by fiat. Lay out the disagreement, what evidence would settle it, and where the author's own read sits — labelled as the author's read, not as consensus.

The self-citation trap

If you have published in the field, the survey must not read as a retrospective of your program. Guardrails:

  • Your own work is cited at the tier its importance to the field warrants — no more.
  • Rivals to your work are given their strongest statement.
  • A reader who does not know who wrote the survey cannot tell from the emphasis.
  • When the field disagrees with you, say so plainly and represent the other side fairly.

Checklist

  • Corpus tiered (foundational / important / confirmatory / tangential); prose emphasis matches tier
  • Comprehensiveness provable from the citation set + saturation log
  • Every rival school stated at its strongest before critique (steelman)
  • Conflicting findings reconciled by credibility and estimand, not vote-counting
  • Idea attribution traces to originators
  • Live controversies presented with what evidence would settle them; author's read labelled as such
  • Self-citation audited: own work at field-warranted tier; rivals steelmanned; emphasis is identity-blind
  • No important author/school an informed referee could say was slighted or omitted

Anti-patterns

  • Comprehensiveness theatre: equal-length summaries of every paper (no editorial judgment)
  • Vote-counting conflicting results instead of weighing credibility and estimand
  • Strawmanning the camp the author disagrees with
  • A survey that doubles as the author's CV (the most-punished JEL balance failure)
  • Declaring a live controversy "resolved" by assertion rather than by laying out the evidentiary state
  • Crediting the popularizer of an idea over its originator

Output format

【Tiering】corpus split foundational/important/confirmatory/tangential? Y/N
【Comprehensiveness evidence】saturation log + citation set support "nothing important missing"? Y/N
【Steelman】each rival school stated at its strongest? Y/N
【Conflict handling】reconciled by credibility + estimand (not vote-count)? Y/N
【Controversy】evidence-to-settle stated; author's read labelled? Y/N
【Self-citation audit】own work at warranted tier; emphasis identity-blind? Y/N
【Next step】→ jel-tables-figures (who-found-what tables) → jel-writing-style
