What it does
Jet Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when testing whether a project clears the Journal of Economic Theory (JET) scope gate — a rigorous, original theoretical contribution in a core theory area, with empirical/computational work only when firmly grounded in theory.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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
- Testing whether a project clears the Journal of Economic Theory (JET) scope gate — a rigorous
- Original theoretical contribution in a core theory area
- With empirical/computational work only when firmly grounded in theory
Example prompts
- “/jet-topic-selection”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Is the core deliverable a theorem (or a genuinely new model/characterization)? If the headline
- Is it original and non-trivial? A restatement of a known result, or a special case of an existing
- **If there is empirical / experimental / quantitative / computational content, is it *firmly grounded
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
Jet Topic Selection loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 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.

Topic Selection (jet-topic-selection)
When to trigger
- Deciding whether a result belongs at JET versus a field or empirical journal
- You have data, an experiment, or a computation and want to know if it can go to JET
- Choosing which of several results to lead with
The JET scope gate
JET publishes across mechanism design, information economics, decision theory, game theory, matching, market design, political economy, and finance / macroeconomic / monetary theory — broad general theory in one venue, not a subfield niche. The single deciding criterion is a rigorous, original theoretical contribution. Ask three questions:
- Is the core deliverable a theorem (or a genuinely new model/characterization)? If the headline is a regression coefficient or a calibration with no new theoretical result, JET is off-fit — regardless of how clean the empirics are.
- Is it original and non-trivial? A restatement of a known result, or a special case of an existing theorem, will not clear the desk screen (see jet-review-process).
- If there is empirical / experimental / quantitative / computational content, is it firmly grounded in theory? JET admits such work only as the application or test of a theoretical contribution that is itself the paper's point — not as a stand-alone empirical paper.
Decision rule
- Lead with the theory. State the result you would put in the abstract as a proposition/theorem. If you cannot, the project is not yet a JET paper.
- Generality vs. tractability. A clean result under transparent assumptions usually beats a more general result that no referee can verify (see jet-identification-strategy).
- Subfield routing. Name the area early — submissions are routed to the matching editor.
Deliverable-type scope table
| Your core deliverable | JET verdict | If off-fit, reroute |
|---|---|---|
| New characterization / existence / impossibility theorem in a core area | in scope — lead with it | — |
| Counterexample overturning a folk presumption | in scope when the presumption matters to a literature | frame the economics of why the presumption mattered |
| New solution concept or preference axiomatization | in scope; expect heavy scrutiny of the axioms' behavioral content | — |
| Asset-pricing result whose substance is stochastic-analysis machinery (semimartingales, no-arbitrage functional analysis) | usually a better fit at a mathematical-finance venue; JET wants the economics of the theorem | finance theory belongs at JET when incentives, information, or equilibrium do the work |
| Structural estimation / calibration exercise | off-fit regardless of model quality | empirical or quantitative-macro journals |
| Market-design algorithm with performance proofs | in scope when the theorem is the contribution | otherwise an OR/CS venue |

Vignette: a matching project at the gate
A team holds (i) a stability-existence theorem for matching with regional constraints, (ii) simulations on synthetic data, and (iii) a policy application. Running the three questions:
- Q1: yes — the existence theorem is the deliverable; the simulations and policy story are not.
- Q2: check against the closest constrained-matching theorem before claiming novelty; if the result is a special case of a published substitutes condition, it will not clear the screen.
- Q3: the simulations only exhibit the constrained core's shape, so they compress into one numbered Example with a script (jet-data-analysis).
Verdict: JET-ready — lead with the theorem, demote the policy narrative to one motivation paragraph, and name "matching / market design" for editor routing.
Lead-result selection when you have several
- Prefer the result whose assumptions are cleanest to state, even if a sibling result is technically harder — the lead theorem is what the desk screen reads.
- A characterization beats an existence result as the headline when both are proved; existence can follow as a corollary section.
- Never lead with the comparative static if the underlying equilibrium object is itself new.
Anti-patterns
- An applied-micro or finance paper with a token model bolted on
- A computational exercise with no characterization result behind it
- A marginal generalization of a published theorem framed as new
