What it does

Jhr Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when polishing Journal of Human Resources (JHR) prose — abstract, introduction, results paragraphs that translate coefficients into policy units, reconciliation language against prior estimates, disclosure wording, and structure that respects the page-limited manuscript format.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Brand voice and tone, Recruiting and HR and Accounting and bookkeeping. 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

  • Polishing Journal of Human Resources (JHR) prose — abstract
  • Results paragraphs that translate coefficients into policy units
  • Reconciliation language against prior estimates
  • Disclosure wording

Example prompts

  • “/jhr-writing-style”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Name the policy-relevant empirical-micro question.
  2. State the institutional or data feature that creates variation.
  3. Give the headline estimate in natural units.
  4. Say how it compares with the closest prior estimate.
  5. State the policy interpretation and its boundary.

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 Writing Style loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 428 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 polishing Journal of Human Resources (JHR) prose — abstract, introduction, results paragraphs that translate coefficients into policy units, reconciliation language against prior estimates, disclosure wording, and structure that respects the page-limited manuscript format.

Writing Style (jhr-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • The manuscript is too long for the 40-page limit
  • The policy lesson or identification strategy is buried
  • Results paragraphs report coefficients without interpretation

Style principles

  • State the empirical-micro question in the first page.
  • Make the identifying variation visible before literature detail.
  • Translate coefficients into policy-relevant magnitudes.
  • Reconcile with prior work explicitly.
  • Keep main-text tables few and move supporting material to the Online Appendix.

First-page pattern

The first page should do five jobs in order:

  1. Name the policy-relevant empirical-micro question.
  2. State the institutional or data feature that creates variation.
  3. Give the headline estimate in natural units.
  4. Say how it compares with the closest prior estimate.
  5. State the policy interpretation and its boundary.

Do not open with a broad policy problem for more than one paragraph. JHR readers need to see the design and reconciliation early.

Abstract compression

Use a five-sentence abstract unless the journal's live limit forces something tighter:

  1. Policy-relevant question.
  2. Data and identifying variation.
  3. Headline magnitude in natural units.
  4. Reconciliation with the closest prior estimate or mechanism.
  5. Policy interpretation with the external-validity boundary.

Avoid empty phrases like "important implications" unless the next words name the actual margin. A good JHR abstract lets a reader recover the estimand, setting, magnitude, and policy lesson without opening the tables.

Results paragraph pattern

text
Table X estimates [claim] using [design]. The preferred specification in column Y
implies [magnitude] for [population]. This compares with [prior estimate] because
[sample/specification/design difference]. The result suggests [policy implication].

Before/after: a results paragraph rewritten for JHR

Illustrative job-training example (numbers invented to show the editing moves):

text
BEFORE: The coefficient on training (0.083, p<0.01) is positive and highly
significant, confirming that the program works. This has important policy
implications.

AFTER: Table 4 reports the lottery-based LATE. Column 2 implies that training
raises quarterly earnings by 8.3 log points — about $410 at the control mean —
for applicants induced by the lottery (SE 0.024, clustered on 38 sites). The
estimate sits between the prior experimental literature's near-zero results
and the larger observational ones; Appendix Table A5 shows the gap closes once
we match the prior studies' shorter follow-up window. At roughly $2,900 per
trainee, the implied payback period is under two years for compliers.

The rewrite names the estimand, converts the coefficient, states the inference unit, reconciles, and prices the policy — five JHR sentences doing five jobs.

Sentence-level conventions

  • Name the estimand (ATT, LATE, ITT, descriptive gap) the first time a result is stated; never let "effect" float unanchored.
  • Keep percent and percentage points rigorously distinct — a frequent JHR copyedit and referee irritant in education and health papers.
  • State the clustering level once in prose and thereafter only in table notes.
  • Reserve causal verbs (raises, reduces, induces) for designed estimates; descriptive results get "is associated with" and an explicit caveat.
  • When heterogeneity is discussed, tie each cut to a policy margin in the same sentence, not in a separate "implications" paragraph.

Trim hierarchy for the page cap

When the manuscript runs long, cut in this order: (1) literature narration not attached to a benchmark estimate; (2) robustness prose that can become one sentence plus an appendix citation; (3) secondary heterogeneity cuts; (4) institutional history beyond what the design needs. Never trim the event-study figure, the first stage, or the reconciliation paragraph — those are what JHR referees read first.
