What it does

Jel Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which jel- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a survey/review article from topic selection through revision for a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Research & Science. 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

  • Deciding which jel- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing a survey/review article from topic selection through revision for a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) submission

Example prompts

  • “/jel-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. jel-topic-selection — confirm the field is JEL-scale (mature, important, needs synthesis)
  2. jel-proposal-and-commissioning — pitch a ~10-page proposal before drafting
  3. jel-literature-synthesis — gather and read the literature systematically
  4. jel-organizing-framework — impose the analytical spine
  5. jel-comprehensiveness-and-balance — completeness, fairness, even-handed controversies
  6. jel-tables-figures — summary tables and conceptual figures
  7. jel-writing-style — the authoritative-yet-accessible JEL voice (abstract + intro last)
  8. jel-classification-system — assign JEL codes; situate the survey in the taxonomy
  9. jel-editor-strategy — scope negotiation and referee expectations
  10. jel-submission — AEA portal preflight (proposal or full paper)
  11. jel-revision — after the editor/referee letter

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 Workflow loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 668 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

JEL Workflow Router (jel-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which jel- skill to use at the current stage* of a survey or review article aimed at the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) — the American Economic Association's survey-of-record journal (founded 1969). JEL does not publish original empirical research. It publishes commissioned and peer-reviewed syntheses of bodies of economic research, book reviews, and maintains the JEL classification system. So the lifecycle is not "design → identify → estimate → defend"; it is scope a synthesis-worthy field → propose it → read the whole literature → impose an organizing framework → synthesize comprehensively and even-handedly → land the JEL voice → submit and revise.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JEL and the artefact as a survey, not a primary-research paper. Operational tells that you are at JEL and not a sibling: the work reviews other people's results rather than reporting your own; the natural first step is a ~10-page proposal emailed to the editor before a full draft (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准); there is no identification strategy and no replication package of your own data (you instead appraise the studies you cover); the contribution is an analytical map of a field, not a new estimate. If the user actually has original results, they want a primary-research journal (e.g. AER, QE), not JEL — say so.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?" on a survey/review
  • A survey draft reads like an annotated bibliography and needs a spine
  • Work is ping-ponging between coverage, framing, balance, and the proposal
  • A JEL editor/referee letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode

Default order

  1. jel-topic-selection — confirm the field is JEL-scale (mature, important, needs synthesis)
  2. jel-proposal-and-commissioning — pitch a ~10-page proposal before drafting
  3. jel-literature-synthesis — gather and read the literature systematically
  4. jel-organizing-framework — impose the analytical spine
  5. jel-comprehensiveness-and-balance — completeness, fairness, even-handed controversies
  6. jel-tables-figures — summary tables and conceptual figures
  7. jel-writing-style — the authoritative-yet-accessible JEL voice (abstract + intro last)
  8. jel-classification-system — assign JEL codes; situate the survey in the taxonomy
  9. jel-editor-strategy — scope negotiation and referee expectations
  10. jel-submission — AEA portal preflight (proposal or full paper)
  11. jel-revision — after the editor/referee letter

jel-writing-style is a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before the organizing framework and coverage settle. The proposal comes early — much of JEL is invited or proposal-first, so jel-proposal-and-commissioning precedes the heavy reading.

Anti-patterns

  • Writing the full survey before sending a proposal — JEL prefers a ~10-page sketch first (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)
  • Treating the survey as an annotated bibliography (no framework) — the named JEL failure mode
  • Using the author's own line of work as the survey's center of gravity (self-promotion)
  • Importing primary-research instincts: there is no "identification" or "replication package" — you appraise others' designs, you do not run your own
  • Confusing JEL with JEP (shorter, non-technical, broad audience) or with Annual Review of Economics

Routing by survey archetype

A "survey" is not one thing; the bottleneck differs by type. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
field-defining synthesis (broad subfield)scope is enormous; needs a taxonomyjel-organizing-framework
methods/tool survey (e.g. an estimator family)accessibility to non-specialists; worked intuitionjel-writing-style
empirical-evidence stock-take (what is the consensus?)comprehensiveness + even-handed weighing of conflicting resultsjel-comprehensiveness-and-balance
emerging-area review (young, fast-moving)is it mature enough for JEL yet?jel-topic-selection
