What it does

Jet Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when applying the Journal of Economic Theory (JET) house style to a manuscript — the Elsevier elsarticle theorem-proof format with definition/assumption/proposition/theorem/proof structure, disciplined notation, full references in the abstract, 250-word abstract, 1-7 keywords, optional Highlights, and author-year proof-stage references. For drafting and polishing JET prose; it does not check proofs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Brand voice and tone. 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

  • Disciplined notation
  • Full references in the abstract
  • 250-word abstract
  • Optional Highlights

Example prompts

  • “/jet-writing-style”

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 (its code samples are latex).

    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 Writing Style loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 580 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~106
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 applying the Journal of Economic Theory (JET) house style to a manuscript — the Elsevier elsarticle theorem-proof format with definition/assumption/proposition/theorem/proof structure, disciplined notation, full references in the abstract, 250-word abstract, 1-7 keywords, optional Highlights, and author-year proof-stage references. For drafting and polishing JET prose; it does not check proofs.

Writing Style (jet-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • Drafting or polishing a JET theory manuscript
  • Converting a working paper into JET's elsarticle theorem-proof format
  • Tightening notation and statements before submission

JET house style

  • Typeset in LaTeX, Elsevier elsarticle class. Source must be editable .tex; PDF is not accepted as a source file. Use proper theorem environments (amsthm): Definition, Assumption, Proposition, Lemma, Theorem, Corollary, Proof.
  • Theorem-proof structure, not narrative-empirical. Set up the environment and primitives, state assumptions, then results, then proofs (heavy ones to an appendix). The reader should be able to read every formal statement without hunting through prose.
  • Notation discipline. Introduce each symbol once, never reuse a symbol for two objects, keep the body and proofs identical. A notation table helps in long papers.
  • References. First submission can use any complete, consistent reference format. JET's proof-stage style is name-year / author-year; elsarticle-harv is the safest LaTeX default. References cited in the abstract must be given in full. Keep unpublished results / personal communications out of the reference list.
  • Abstract / keywords / Highlights. Keep the abstract to 250 words or fewer, supply 1-7 English keywords, and include Highlights only if you can make 3-5 bullets of 85 characters or fewer each. JEL codes are optional metadata rather than a substitute for clear keywords.
  • Generative-AI disclosure belongs in the submission, not the prose; reviewers/editors are barred from using such tools — write so a human expert can follow every step.

Prose targets

  • State each theorem so it is self-contained — readable without the surrounding paragraph.
  • Give a one-line intuition before a long proof; do not let intuition substitute for rigor.
  • Prefer "We prove that …" over hedged "essentially / roughly" phrasing the theorem does not support.

Notation audit

Before submission, create a notation pass:

  • Every primitive is introduced before first use.
  • Every assumption label is referenced in at least one theorem or lemma.
  • Every theorem statement can be read without searching the previous paragraph.
  • Symbols in figures, proofs, and appendices match the body exactly.
  • Appendix proof numbering preserves the main theorem dependency order.

Notation consistency is not cosmetic in JET; it is how referees verify the argument.

amsthm scaffold for a JET manuscript

latex
% Body carries statements + a sketch; the appendix carries full proofs with restatements.
\begin{assumption}\label{a:sc}
Each type's utility satisfies strict single crossing in (action, type).
\end{assumption}

\begin{theorem}\label{thm:main}
Under Assumptions \ref{a:sc}--\ref{a:compact}, an optimal mechanism exists and is deterministic.
\end{theorem}

\begin{proof}[Sketch] % ≤ 1 paragraph in the body: name the key step, point to the appendix
The allocation is pinned down by Lemma~\ref{lem:mono}; a duality argument then delivers the
transfers. Full details are in Appendix~B.
\end{proof}

The pattern to copy: the theorem cites its assumptions by label, the sketch names the key argument in one sentence, and nothing in the body forces a referee to page-flip mid-statement.

Sentence-level register for theory prose

  • Statements quantify ("for every", "there exists") rather than gesture ("in general", "typically").
  • The body says what each lemma buys economically ("Lemma 2 rules out pooling at the top"); the appendix carries the epsilon-management.
  • "It is easy to see" is banned wherever a referee could disagree — replace it with the one-line reason or a pointer to the appendix step.
  • Intuition paragraphs are labeled as intuition and are never load-bearing: deleting them must leave the proof intact.

Hedged-claim rewrite (micro-example)

  • Before: "Our results show that ambiguity essentially eliminates the gains from screening."
  • After: "Theorem 3 shows that for maxmin bidders with full-support prior sets, the optimal mechanism is a posted price; screening gains are zero in this class — and only in this class (Example 4)."

The rewrite replaces "essentially" with the exact class where the claim holds and the example that bounds it. Run this transformation on every hedge word in the abstract and introduction.

Anti-patterns

  • Submitting PDF source instead of .tex
  • Mixed reference styles, or abstract citations abbreviated to "et al."
  • Symbol reuse and notation drift between statement and proof
  • An empirical-paper voice (data-story framing) imposed on a theory result
