What it does

Jep Proposal And Symposium is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when crafting a proposal to the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editors — a short article proposal or a symposium pitch — since JEP is largely invited and editor-organized. Builds the pitch and its contents; it does not write the full article or run the final submission preflight.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Sales & Support, covering Proposals and quotes. 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

  • Crafting a proposal to the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editors — a short article proposal
  • A symposium pitch — since JEP is largely invited and editor-organized

Example prompts

  • “/jep-proposal-and-symposium”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The question and why it matters now — one paragraph a non-specialist editor grasps immediately (the jep-topic-selection "why now").
  2. The synthesis you will deliver — what body of work you will distill and the through-line (not a chapter list). What will a reader…
  3. Three to five takeaways — the memorable points the article will land. This is the spine; if you can't list them, the article isn't ready.
  4. Balance plan — the competing views/debates you will treat fairly, and the open questions you will flag (signals you are writing synthesis…
  5. Accessibility plan — how you will keep it readable by 90% of AEA members (intuition over notation; examples; selective evidence).
  6. Your standing to write it — why you can synthesize this fairly (often your own work plus command of the broader literature).
  7. Rough shape — approximate length and 2–4 exhibits you envision (not a full outline).

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 Proposal And Symposium loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 536 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 crafting a proposal to the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editors — a short article proposal or a symposium pitch — since JEP is largely invited and editor-organized. Builds the pitch and its contents; it does not write the full article or run the final submission preflight.

Proposal & Symposium Pitch (jep-proposal-and-symposium)

When to trigger

  • You have a JEP-fit topic (jep-topic-selection) and need to approach the editors
  • You are tempted to write a full unsolicited manuscript (don't — pitch first)
  • You want to propose a symposium (a themed cluster of articles)
  • An editor invited "a short proposal" and you need to know what goes in it

Why a proposal, not a manuscript

JEP articles are primarily solicited by the editorial team, and even unsolicited ideas should enter as a 2–5 page proposal, not a finished paper (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Historically only about 10–15% of published articles originate as unsolicited proposals, so the proposal is the real competition — it must convince the editors that a broad, accessible, balanced article exists here and that you can write it. Send proposals and papers as Word or PDF email attachments to jep@aeapubs.org (re-confirm the address on the official page).

What a single-article proposal contains

A JEP proposal is a persuasive 2–5 page document, not an abstract. Cover, in plain language:

  1. The question and why it matters now — one paragraph a non-specialist editor grasps immediately (the jep-topic-selection "why now").
  2. The synthesis you will deliver — what body of work you will distill and the through-line (not a chapter list). What will a reader understand after reading that they didn't before?
  3. Three to five takeaways — the memorable points the article will land. This is the spine; if you can't list them, the article isn't ready.
  4. Balance plan — the competing views/debates you will treat fairly, and the open questions you will flag (signals you are writing synthesis, not advocacy).
  5. Accessibility plan — how you will keep it readable by 90% of AEA members (intuition over notation; examples; selective evidence).
  6. Your standing to write it — why you can synthesize this fairly (often your own work plus command of the broader literature).
  7. Rough shape — approximate length and 2–4 exhibits you envision (not a full outline).

Symposium pitch (the JEP-distinctive move)

A symposium is 3–5 complementary articles on one theme, often by different authors, that together give a rounded view. To propose one:

  • Frame the unifying question and why a multi-angle treatment beats a single article.
  • Slate the angles (and, if you can, candidate authors) so the set is balanced — including dissenting or contrasting perspectives, not a like-minded panel.
  • Differentiate each piece so they complement rather than overlap.
  • Acknowledge the editors own the final lineup, framing, and invitations; you are offering a structure they can shape.

Checklist

  • Proposal is 2–5 pages, plain language, persuasive (not an abstract, not a manuscript)
  • Question + "why now" stated in the first paragraph
  • The synthesis through-line is explicit (not "I will review the literature")
  • 3–5 concrete takeaways listed
  • Balance + accessibility plans stated
  • Symposium pitch (if any) names complementary, balanced angles and concedes editor control
  • Addressed/emailed per the current official instructions (jep@aeapubs.org)

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting a full manuscript instead of a proposal (against JEP's stated preference)
  • A proposal that is really an abstract — no through-line, no takeaways, no balance plan
  • "I will survey everything" — JEP wants a curated argument, not exhaustive coverage (that's JEL)
  • A symposium of like-minded authors that reads as a coordinated campaign, not a balanced conversation
  • Over-promising length/scope the article cannot accessibly deliver

Output format
