What it does

Jfqa Contribution Framing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when framing the contribution of a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) paper — write the strict one-paragraph abstract of no more than 100 words and an introduction that states what is new in finance terms, so the quantitative contribution lands within JFQA's tight abstract cap and high selectivity.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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.

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.

  • 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

Jfqa Contribution Framing loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 631 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

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 framing the contribution of a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) paper — write the strict one-paragraph abstract of no more than 100 words and an introduction that states what is new in finance terms, so the quantitative contribution lands within JFQA's tight abstract cap and high selectivity.

JFQA Contribution Framing (jfqa-contribution-framing)

Use this skill to state the contribution of a JFQA manuscript crisply — the journal is highly selective (prints < 9% of 1,000+ annual submissions) and imposes an unusually strict abstract limit.

The 100-word abstract (hard constraint)

JFQA requires the abstract to be one paragraph of no more than 100 words — tighter than most finance/economics flagships. Make every word count:

  • One sentence on the question and why it matters in finance.
  • One or two sentences on the data/design (sample, identification).
  • One or two sentences on the headline quantitative result, with a number (basis points, alpha, elasticity, magnitude per one-SD change).
  • One sentence on the broader implication for the subfield.
  • No citations, no equations, no filler. Stay at or under 100 words.

The introduction contribution paragraph

  • Lead with the question and the answer; do not bury the result.
  • State the contribution against the closest rivals (see jfqa-literature-positioning).
  • Make the economic magnitude explicit and the mechanism clear.
  • Preview the design and the key exhibit.

Anti-patterns

  • An abstract over 100 words, or split into multiple paragraphs — a formatting strike before a reviewer even reads it.
  • Vague claims ("we shed light on...") instead of a measured result.
  • Over-claiming beyond what the design supports.
  • Saving the contribution for the conclusion.

JFQA contribution stress test

Before accepting the framing, force the abstract and first-page contribution paragraph to answer:

  1. Finance object: return, risk, liquidity, capital structure, governance, intermediary behavior, or another finance quantity that JFQA readers recognize immediately.
  2. Design credibility: the source of variation, model restriction, or quantitative method that makes the claim more than a finance correlation.
  3. Magnitude: basis points, alpha, spread, elasticity, valuation effect, probability change, or another finance-scale number.
  4. Closest-rival delta: the one paper a referee will cite and the precise way this paper changes the conclusion.

If the answer to item 3 is "statistically significant," the contribution is not yet JFQA-ready.

Worked compression: a microstructure abstract at the cap

Hypothetical paper: an exchange-level tick-size reform and small-cap liquidity (all numbers illustrative). The first draft ran 127 words and opened with three sentences about electronic markets in general. The JFQA-ready version spends its budget like this:

  • Question, ~15 words: does the reform change liquidity for the affected stocks, and through which channel?
  • Design, ~25 words: the reform event, roughly 1,200 treated small-caps vs. matched controls, difference-in-differences on intraday quote data.
  • Result with numbers, ~40 words: quoted spreads move 11.6 bps (14% of the pre-period mean); depth at the inside changes 22%; effects concentrate where the constraint binds.
  • Implication, ~18 words: one sentence on what the elasticity means for tick-size policy.

Every surviving clause carries a finance object, a design cue, or a number. Motivation throat-clearing is the first thing cut, because the 100-word cap punishes it hardest.

Magnitude phrasing by JFQA subfield

SubfieldHeadline-number form JFQA readers expectWeak form to delete
Asset pricingmonthly alpha in bps; premium per one-SD of the characteristic; Sharpe change"significant at the 1% level"

Referee pushback on framing, with the JFQA repair

Pushback heard at JFQAWhat it signalsRepair
"The contribution is incremental"closest-rival delta not quantifiedstate the number the paper changes and by how much
"Magnitudes seem small"raw coefficient reported without a benchmarkscale by the mean, a one-SD move, or a dollar value
"Abstract oversells the design"causal verbs without causal variationdowngrade verbs to what the design supports
"Unclear who cares"no finance decision-maker namedtie the result to an investor, manager, or regulator choice
