What it does

Jhr Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building or auditing Journal of Human Resources (JHR) empirical pipelines — sample construction, design-based causal estimates with correct clustering, robustness, comparative estimation against prior published work, online appendix material, and reproducible analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis and Recruiting and HR. 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

  • Auditing Journal of Human Resources (JHR) empirical pipelines — sample construction
  • Design-based causal estimates with correct clustering
  • Comparative estimation against prior published work
  • Online appendix material

Example prompts

  • “/jhr-data-analysis”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Sample: 1.9M births, 12 adopting and 19 comparison states; attrition table
  2. Main estimate: Callaway-Sant'Anna ATT of -1.3 severe-morbidity events per
  3. Reconciliation: prior single-state estimate of -3.0 shrinks to -1.6 when its
  4. Archive: scripts run end-to-end from a clean clone; restricted birth-record

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

Jhr Data Analysis loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 636 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Data Analysis (jhr-data-analysis)

When to trigger

  • You are preparing the empirical pipeline for a JHR paper
  • Sample construction, reconciliation, or robustness is still unsettled
  • The paper needs a replication-ready workflow before acceptance

Applied-micro analysis checklist

  • Define unit, population, period, treatment, comparison group, and outcome.
  • Show sample attrition and merge rules.
  • Report baseline balance or pre-treatment comparability when relevant.
  • Estimate main effects with the right clustering and fixed effects.
  • Add reconciliation estimates against the closest prior published work.
  • Add robustness for sample windows, functional form, controls, treatment definitions, and outlier handling.

JHR-specific constraints

  • Keep main tables inside the page limit; move overflow to Online Appendix.
  • Prepare a data-archive plan from the start, especially for restricted data.
  • For RCTs, track pre-analysis plan registration and deviations.

Comparative-estimate workflow

Build one reconciliation table before submission:

ColumnPurpose
Prior published estimateReproduce or quote the closest estimate with sample/design notes
Prior specification on your dataShows whether the difference is data or specification
Your preferred specificationShows the incremental design or measurement change
Sensitivity bridgeChanges one assumption at a time: sample, controls, weights, clustering, outcome

This table can live in the Online Appendix, but the introduction should summarize the lesson in one sentence. Without it, a JHR referee can ask for reconciliation late in the process.

Estimator defaults JHR referees assume

DesignDefault estimatorDiagnostics referees expect alongside
Staggered DIDCallaway-Sant'Anna, Sun-Abraham, or imputation (Borusyak-Jaravel-Spiess); never TWFE alone with heterogeneous timingEvent study with pre-period coefficients, Goodman-Bacon style decomposition when TWFE is reported
Sharp/fuzzy RDDLocal linear with MSE-optimal bandwidth and robust bias-corrected CIsDensity/manipulation test, covariate continuity, bandwidth and donut sensitivity
IV2SLS plus weak-IV-robust inference when first stage is marginalFirst-stage table per endogenous variable, effective F, Anderson-Rubin CI
Lottery / admissions experimentITT plus LATE via lottery-fixed-effects 2SLSBalance within randomization strata, compliance and attrition by arm
RCTPAP-aligned ITT with randomization-inference check where feasibleBalance, attrition, multiple-testing adjustment

Inference choices that draw referee fire

  • Cluster at the level of treatment assignment (state policy → state clusters), not at the individual or county level just because N is larger.
  • With few treated clusters, add wild cluster bootstrap or randomization inference; report how many clusters drive identification.
  • Survey-weight decisions must match the estimand: weighted for population parameters, unweighted (with justification) for design-based comparisons.
  • Show that significance survives the correct clustering before any heterogeneity cuts are interpreted.
Show full SKILL.md (244 more words)Show less

Linked-data hygiene

  • Document match rates for administrative-survey linkages and show that match quality does not differ by treatment status; differential linkage is a selection story referees raise unprompted.
  • Date-stamp policy adoption variables from primary legal sources; miscoded effective dates are a classic catch in JHR rollout papers.

Worked numbers: postpartum-coverage pipeline

Illustrative pipeline for a Medicaid postpartum-coverage extension paper using linked birth records (numbers invented for the walkthrough):

  1. Sample: 1.9M births, 12 adopting and 19 comparison states; attrition table shows 4 percent lost to cross-state moves.
  2. Main estimate: Callaway-Sant'Anna ATT of -1.3 severe-morbidity events per 1,000 births, SE clustered on 31 states, wild-bootstrap p reported.
  3. Reconciliation: prior single-state estimate of -3.0 shrinks to -1.6 when its specification is run on the multi-state sample — difference is sample, not specification; one sentence in the introduction states this.
  4. Archive: scripts run end-to-end from a clean clone; restricted birth-record access documented for the waiver request.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. JHR is labor/education economics — program evaluation with selection; DiD/IV/RDD and the selection objection are central.

  • Many outcomes / specifications: romano_wolf (step-down FWER) or benjamini_hochberg.
  • OVB sensitivity: oster_delta / sensemakr.
  • Inference: wild_cluster_bootstrap (few clusters), twoway_cluster / conley.
  • Re-fit off one handle: audit_result(result_id) lists missing checks + the exact suggest_function for each.
  • Exhibits: etable / did_summary_to_latex from the handle — no retyped numbers.

Decisive checks in the body, exhaustive battery in the appendix. JF execution walkthrough.
