What it does

Jfqa Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) manuscript against the finance frontier — corporate finance, investments, asset pricing, market microstructure, and financial institutions. Use to stake a precise contribution against the relevant literature without a standalone survey, so the paper reads as new to a quantitative-finance audience.

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.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Positioning a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) manuscript against the finance frontier — corporate finance
  • Market microstructure
  • Financial institutions
  • Stake a precise contribution against the relevant literature without a standalone survey

Example prompts

  • “/jfqa-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the 5-10 closest papers in your subfield and the one or two that a referee will say "this is already done."
  2. Write the contrast in one or two sentences each: what they did, what you do differently, why the difference matters economically.
  3. Tie the contribution to JFQA's quantitative ethos — a new measurement, a sharper identification, a model with testable implications, or a…
  4. Avoid claiming "first to study X" unless you can defend it; finance is crowded.

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

Jfqa Literature Positioning loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 positioning a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) manuscript against the finance frontier — corporate finance, investments, asset pricing, market microstructure, and financial institutions. Use to stake a precise contribution against the relevant literature without a standalone survey, so the paper reads as new to a quantitative-finance audience.

JFQA Literature Positioning (jfqa-literature-positioning)

Use this skill to locate a JFQA manuscript against the finance literature so the contribution is unmistakable to the reviewers and the assigned Managing Editor.

What JFQA expects

  • A tight positioning paragraph, not a literature-review chapter. State what is known, the specific gap, and what this paper adds.
  • Engagement with the right finance subfield frontier — corporate finance, investments/asset pricing, microstructure, or institutions — and with the closest recent JFQA / finance-flagship work.
  • Honest delineation from near-neighbor papers: say explicitly how your sample, design, mechanism, or result differs.

Process

  1. Identify the 5-10 closest papers in your subfield and the one or two that a referee will say "this is already done."
  2. Write the contrast in one or two sentences each: what they did, what you do differently, why the difference matters economically.
  3. Tie the contribution to JFQA's quantitative ethos — a new measurement, a sharper identification, a model with testable implications, or a result that overturns/refines a stylized fact.
  4. Avoid claiming "first to study X" unless you can defend it; finance is crowded.

Anti-patterns

  • A chronological survey that buries the contribution.
  • Citing only your own or only old papers; missing the obvious recent competitor.
  • Over-claiming novelty a referee can puncture with one citation — which, on a resubmission of a previously rejected paper, must also be disclosed (see jfqa-submission).
  • Positioning as "interesting" rather than as a quantitative advance.

Finance-frontier compression

Use a three-paragraph related-work move:

  1. Closest finance mechanism: what the corporate-finance, asset-pricing, microstructure, or institutions literature already knows.
  2. Closest empirical design: how prior work measured or identified the object, and where that design leaves uncertainty.
  3. This paper's delta: the new sample, shock, measure, model, or inference result plus the economic magnitude it changes.

Do not give every subfield equal space. JFQA reviewers need to see that the paper is new in the exact finance conversation where it asks to be judged.

Rival map worked through (hypothetical payout paper, numbers illustrative)

Question: do share repurchases still earn abnormal returns once institutional crowding is measured?

  • Rival A documented the buyback anomaly on a sample ending years ago — the contrast is sample and a crowding measure they could not build.
  • Rival B has the crowding mechanism in theory but no identification — the contrast is a fee-change shock to institutional demand.
  • This paper's delta, stated in one sentence: with 13F-based crowding and the shock, the post-announcement abnormal return falls from 9% to 4% annualized, so roughly half the documented anomaly is demand pressure rather than mispricing.

That sentence — rival's number, this paper's number, the economic reinterpretation — is the positioning JFQA reviewers reward. If you cannot write its analogue for your paper, the gap is not yet sharp.

Reference-list calibration for a JFQA submission

  • Engage the three or four nearest finance-flagship and JFQA papers in the first two pages; keep the remaining citations functional rather than encyclopedic. There is no codified count — calibrate against recent JFQA issues in your subfield.
  • Cite the methodological source for every econometric choice (clustering, the staggered-DID estimator, multiple-testing corrections). JFQA's methods-conscious referees notice a missing method citation as quickly as a missing rival.
  • Under double-anonymous review, phrase self-citations in the third person and make sure the contrast paragraph does not de-anonymize you.
