What it does

Jep Accessibility And Translation is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when translating technical results, models, and methods into plain language for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article — minimizing jargon and notation without dumbing down. Handles language and translation of ideas; defer evidence/number presentation to jep-evidence-without-equations and exhibits to jep-exhibits-for-general-readers.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Translation and Accessibility. 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

  • Translating technical results
  • Methods into plain language for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article — minimizing jargon and notation without dumbing down

Example prompts

  • “/jep-accessibility-and-translation”

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

Jep Accessibility And Translation loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 646 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
~1.3k

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.

Use when translating technical results, models, and methods into plain language for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article — minimizing jargon and notation without dumbing down.

Accessibility & Translation (jep-accessibility-and-translation)

When to trigger

  • The draft reads like a working paper with the proofs deleted
  • A labor or macro economist who doesn't work on the topic gets lost
  • Sentences carry notation, estimator names, or subfield jargon a generalist won't know
  • You worry that simplifying will make the piece sound shallow

The JEP accessibility bar

JEP articles should be readable by 90 percent or more of the AEA membership and useful to economists not conversant with the author's subspecialty; the journal is "scholarly without relying too heavily on mathematical notation," explaining ideas through economic intuition rather than derivations (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Translation is not simplification of the ideas — it is removing the barriers (notation, jargon, insider shorthand) that hide the ideas from a smart non-specialist.

Translation moves (technical → JEP)

Technical draftJEP move
An estimating equation in the bodyState what the equation says in words; the design goes to a note or appendix if at all
"We instrument X with Z""We exploit [the natural experiment] so that the variation in X is plausibly unrelated to [confounder]"
A Greek-letter parameterName the economic quantity it stands for and give its sign/magnitude in plain units
Subfield jargon ("the intensive margin," "MPC," "ATT")Define on first use in a clause, or replace with plain words where precision allows
"Statistically significant at 1%"A number with a plain sense of precision (see jep-evidence-without-equations)
A model's machineryThe economic mechanism — the story of what drives what — first; the formalism is optional scaffolding

Principles

  • Intuition first, formalism optional. Lead with the mechanism in words. If notation appears at all, it follows the intuition and could be skipped without losing the thread.
  • Define on first use, sparingly. Every necessary term gets a one-clause gloss the first time. Better: avoid the term.
  • Concrete over abstract. A vivid example or a number anchors an abstract claim.
  • Don't condescend. The reader is a professional economist, just not in your field — explain the subfield-specific, assume the general.
  • Cut insider signaling. Citations-as-name-dropping, method-flexing, and "as is well known" add nothing for a generalist.

Calibrating depth (not dumbing down)

The test is not "could a layperson read this" but "could a non-specialist economist follow the argument and trust it." Keep the rigor of the reasoning; remove the rigor-display. If a precise technical point is essential, state it plainly and put the formal version in a footnote or short appendix — the body must stand on its own.

Show full SKILL.md (241 more words)Show less

Checklist

  • No estimating equations or proofs in the body (intuition in words instead)
  • Every subfield term defined on first use or replaced
  • Each Greek/parameter symbol replaced by the economic quantity it denotes
  • A non-specialist economist can restate the main mechanism after one read
  • No method-flexing or citation name-dropping
  • Necessary technical precision moved to a note/appendix, body self-contained
  • Simplified language did not silently weaken or overstate a claim (cross-check jep-balance-and-objectivity)

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A working-paper sentence reads: "We identify β via a shift-share instrument, exploiting Bartik-style variation in local labor demand, and recover an IV estimate that survives the Borusyak–Hull exogeneity diagnostics." The JEP translation: "To separate cause from coincidence, we lean on the fact that some towns were more exposed to a national hiring boom simply because of the industries they happened to host — exposure that had little to do with anything local. Comparing more- and less-exposed towns lets us read off how the boom changed wages." The mechanism and the credibility are now legible to any economist; the estimator name and diagnostics, if needed at all, go to a footnote.

Anti-patterns

  • "Translating" by deleting the math but keeping the jargon — still unreadable
  • Dumbing down the ideas instead of removing the barriers (loses rigor and respect)
  • Leaving one estimating equation "for the experts" in an otherwise accessible body
  • Defining nothing because "everyone knows this" — they don't, across fields
  • Over-simplifying into vagueness so the claim no longer means anything checkable

Output format

【Jargon/notation removed】[list of terms translated or cut]
【Mechanism in plain words】[one paragraph]
【Equations/proofs relocated】[to note / appendix / cut]
【Non-specialist read test】can a general economist restate it? [Y/N]
【Rigor preserved?】reasoning intact, only display removed? [Y/N]
【Next step】jep-evidence-without-equations
