What it does

Jep Editor Strategy is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when working with the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editorial team — the managing-editor-led model and the symposium structure — on scope, length, framing, and the invited/commissioned process. Handles editor interaction strategy; defer the final submission preflight to jep-submission and post-decision edits to jep-revision.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • The invited/commissioned process

Example prompts

  • “/jep-editor-strategy”

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 Editor Strategy loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 720 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

Editor Strategy (jep-editor-strategy)

When to trigger

  • An editor invited you and you need to understand the working relationship
  • Your article is part of a symposium and you must fit a shared frame and length
  • Scope or length is in tension with what the editors want
  • You are unsure how JEP's editor-driven, hands-on process differs from a refereed journal

The JEP editorial model

JEP is run by an editorial team led by editors and a long-serving managing editor, and is largely invited / commissioned (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). As of 2026 (editor roster re-verified 2026-06-22 against the AEA "Editors of the Journal of Economic Perspectives" page) the Editor is Heidi Williams (Dartmouth); coeditors include Jeffrey Kling and Jonathan Parker (MIT); the Managing Editor is Timothy Taylor (long-tenured), with an assistant managing editor — re-confirm the roster on the official editors page before relying on names. Unlike a refereed research journal, JEP review is editor-driven and hands-on: the editors actively shape framing, accessibility, and length, often across several rounds, rather than dispatching to anonymous referees. Expect direct, substantive editorial guidance and a strong house preference for readability.

Working with the team

  • Treat the proposal as the contract. The invited scope, angle, and length agreed at the proposal stage (jep-proposal-and-symposium) define the assignment; large drifts need editor sign-off.
  • Expect accessibility-first edits. The managing editor and editors push hard on plain language and structure; arrive having already done jep-accessibility-and-translation and jep-narrative-arc.
  • Negotiate scope early, not late. If the topic needs more or less room, raise it before drafting, not after. Editors would rather reshape a proposal than a finished draft.
  • Respect the symposium frame. In a symposium, the editors set the unifying question and your assigned angle; stay in your lane and gesture to companion pieces rather than re-covering them.
  • Use the managing editor as your accessibility coach. Timothy Taylor's long-running role is, in effect, the guardian of readability; treat marked-up plain-language edits as the house standard, not as personal style preference.
  • Be responsive and concise in correspondence. A hands-on editorial team values authors who turn edits quickly and don't re-litigate settled accessibility calls.

Scope & length negotiation

  • JEP has no hard public word limit, but the house norm is a focused, accessible essay — shorter and tighter than a JEL survey (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Argue scope in terms of what the broad reader needs, not what the literature contains.
  • If asked to cut, cut coverage (exhaustiveness) before clarity (the through-line, examples, exhibits that carry the argument).
  • If asked to broaden, add reach and stakes for non-specialists, not more specialist detail.
  • Defer to editorial judgment on framing for the broad audience: the editors read JEP's readership daily and know what lands. Bring your expertise on the substance; trust them on the translation and on placement within an issue or symposium.

Checklist

  • Understood the invited scope/angle/length as the working contract
  • Confirmed current editor/managing-editor roster on the official page
  • Did accessibility + narrative work before sending the editors a draft
  • Brought substance expertise; deferred to the team on broad-audience framing
  • Raised any scope/length tension early
  • In a symposium: stayed within the assigned angle; coordinated with the frame
  • Prepared to turn editorial edits quickly and concisely

Worked vignette (illustrative)

An invited author drafts a piece that has grown to JEL length because they tried to cover every paper in the field. The managing editor writes back: "This is more comprehensive than our readers need — make it an argument, not a census." The fix is not to defend the coverage but to return to jep-narrative-arc, pick the through-line, cut the exhaustive sections to a sentence each with a pointer to further reading, and protect the examples and exhibits that carry the argument. The reply to the editor is short: which sections were compressed, which were cut, and how the through-line is now visible by page two.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating a JEP editor like a referee — waiting passively instead of engaging the hands-on process
  • Drifting far from the agreed proposal scope without sign-off
  • Sending a still-technical draft and expecting the editors to do the translation
  • Re-litigating accessibility edits the editors have settled
  • In a symposium, expanding to cover ground assigned to a companion article
  • Padding to JEL length when the editors want a tight, broad-audience essay
  • Surfacing a major scope or framing change only after the full draft is written, when it is hardest to absorb
