What it does
Jep Narrative Arc is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when structuring a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article as a story/argument for a general economist reader rather than a literature survey. Builds the essay's spine (hook → tension → synthesis → takeaways); it does not handle sentence-level voice or evidence presentation.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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.
Example prompts

Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Hook — a concrete puzzle, surprising fact, vivid example, or live debate that a non-specialist immediately feels. Open with the question…
- Stakes / "why now" — why this matters and why now, in a paragraph anyone in the AEA can follow.
- Tension — the central disagreement, puzzle, or shift the article will resolve or illuminate. Synthesis is interesting only when there is…
- Synthesis — the body: organized by ideas and the argument's logic, not by paper or by author. Each section advances the through-line…
- What we don't know — honest open questions; JEP readers trust an author who marks the edges of knowledge.
- Takeaways — the 3–5 memorable points (from the proposal) landed explicitly. The reader should be able to repeat them at a seminar.
- Brief close — the broader lesson and why it travels beyond the immediate setting.
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 Narrative Arc loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Narrative Arc for JEP (jep-narrative-arc)
When to trigger
- The draft is organized like a survey ("Section 2 reviews X, Section 3 reviews Y")
- A reader can't say what the argument is, only what topics are covered
- The piece has no hook and no payoff — it informs but does not move
- You have takeaways from the proposal but no through-line connecting them
The JEP arc
A JEP article is an essay with an argument, not a catalog. The reliable arc for a broad economist audience:
- Hook — a concrete puzzle, surprising fact, vivid example, or live debate that a non-specialist immediately feels. Open with the question, never with "the literature on X is large."
- Stakes / "why now" — why this matters and why now, in a paragraph anyone in the AEA can follow.
- Tension — the central disagreement, puzzle, or shift the article will resolve or illuminate. Synthesis is interesting only when there is something at issue.
- Synthesis — the body: organized by ideas and the argument's logic, not by paper or by author. Each section advances the through-line; evidence is recruited to the argument (see
jep-evidence-without-equations), competing views are weighed (seejep-balance-and-objectivity). - What we don't know — honest open questions; JEP readers trust an author who marks the edges of knowledge.
- Takeaways — the 3–5 memorable points (from the proposal) landed explicitly. The reader should be able to repeat them at a seminar.
- Brief close — the broader lesson and why it travels beyond the immediate setting.
Organize by argument, not by literature. "Three forces explain the puzzle" beats "Author A found…, Author B found…". The papers serve the argument; the argument does not serve the papers.

Structural tests
- The elevator test: can you state the through-line in one sentence? If not, there is no arc yet.
- The section-title test: do section titles name ideas ("Why the effect fades over time") rather than topics ("The empirical literature")? Idea-titles signal an argument.
- The deletion test: could a section be cut without breaking the argument? If yes, it's a survey appendage, not a load-bearing beam.
- The takeaway test: does each takeaway clearly emerge from a section? Orphan takeaways mean the body and the conclusion disagree.
Symposium-aware structuring
If the article is part of a symposium, its arc should occupy its assigned angle and gesture to the companion pieces rather than re-cover their ground — the symposium, not the single article, carries the full picture. Confirm scope with jep-editor-strategy.
Checklist
- Opens with a hook (puzzle/fact/example/debate), not "the literature on…"
- Central tension stated early — there is something at issue
- Body organized by ideas/argument, not by paper or author
- Through-line stateable in one sentence (elevator test)
- Section titles name ideas, not topics
- "What we don't know" section present
- 3–5 takeaways land explicitly and each traces to a section
- Close states the lesson that travels
Anti-patterns
- A literature-review skeleton ("Section 2: prior work") masquerading as an article
- No hook; opening with definitions or a history of the field
- Synthesis with no tension — a tour of findings that resolves nothing
- Burying the takeaways or never stating them
- Hiding all uncertainty to make the argument look cleaner (also a balance failure)
- In a symposium piece, re-covering a companion article's territory
