What it does

Jim Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when estimating and reporting results for a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript — measurement-invariance testing (MGCFA/alignment), multilevel models with country-level predictors, multi-group SEM, and multi-country panels. It executes and reports; jim-methods designed the study.

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. 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

  • Multilevel models with country-level predictors
  • Multi-group SEM
  • Multi-country panels

Example prompts

  • “/jim-data-analysis”

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

Jim Data Analysis loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 687 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
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.

Cross-National Data Analysis (jim-data-analysis)

When to trigger

  • Multi-country data are in and the invariance battery must be run before anything else
  • Country-level moderators need estimating (HLM, multi-group SEM, cross-level interactions)
  • Latent means or path coefficients are about to be compared across countries
  • A reviewer writes "the cross-national comparisons are not interpretable as reported"

Invariance first — nothing compares until it passes

Run the MGCFA ladder per construct, in order, and report every rung:

StepConstraint addedLicenses you to…
Configuralsame factor structureclaim the construct exists everywhere
Metricequal loadingscompare structural paths / correlations across countries
Scalarequal interceptscompare latent means across countries

Decision rules: χ² difference plus practical criteria (ΔCFI ≤ .01; monitor ΔRMSEA). When full invariance fails: release the minimum number of parameters for partial invariance (at least two invariant items per construct, per the Steenkamp–Baumgartner protocol) and restate exactly which comparisons remain licensed. With many countries (8+), pairwise MGCFA explodes — use the alignment method and report the proportion of non-invariant parameters (≤25% rule of thumb). If scalar invariance dies and cannot be partially rescued, mean-comparison hypotheses are off the table; say so in the paper rather than burying it.

Also run: response-style controls (model ARS/ERS factors or covariates as planned in design) and per-country reliability/validity (CR, AVE, discriminant checks reported for each country, not pooled).

Match the estimator to the cross-national structure

Data structureEstimatorReporting keys
Consumers nested in countries (10+ countries)Multilevel / HLM with country-level predictorsICC first; random slopes for moderated effects; group-mean vs. grand-mean centering stated
Few countries (2–4)Multi-group SEM with invariance constraintspath-difference tests across groups, not eyeballed coefficients
Cross-level moderationrandom-slope HLM or MSEMthe slope variance must be nonzero before a country variable can explain it
Firm export panelsFE / DiD (staggered-adoption estimators) / selection modelscluster at firm or country per the variation; pre-trends where causal
Country dyads (home–host)dyadic models with distance variablescontrol both origin and destination effects
Meta-analyticrandom-effects + meta-regression on country dimensionsbetween-study heterogeneity decomposed

Small-N-countries warning: with fewer than ~10 countries, country-level regression coefficients are unstable — prefer multi-group contrasts, fixed effects, or Bayesian multilevel with informative priors, and never narrate 5 countries as a "test" of a continuous cultural dimension.

Report so the cross-national claim is auditable

  • Invariance table is mandatory — steps, fit per step, Δ-statistics, decision. It is the first table JIM methods reviewers look for.
  • Per-country descriptives and correlations (or a Web Appendix panel), not pooled-only.
  • Standardized effects with CIs; for mediation, bootstrapped indirect effects per group or conditional on the country moderator.
  • For every country difference claimed: the formal test of the difference (constrained vs. free model; interaction coefficient), never two separate significance verdicts.
  • Translate the headline effect into a cross-border managerial magnitude: adaptation lift in market A vs. B, export-revenue elasticity, the country profile where the strategy flips sign.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery end-to-end instead of enumerating it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. For JIM's structures: multi-country panels via detect_design → recommend → fit with as_handle=true → audit_result; staggered policy variation via callaway_santanna / sun_abraham with honest_did_from_result; few-cluster (few-country) inference via wild_cluster_bootstrap; many-outcome hypothesis families via romano_wolf; OVB sensitivity via oster_delta / sensemakr; exhibits exported from the result handle (etable) so no number is retyped. HLM and measurement-invariance runs (MGCFA ladders, alignment) execute in lavaan/Mplus-lane scripts under resources/code/ — keep the per-step fit log as the audit trail; SEM path models follow the same handle-then-audit discipline.

Checklist

  • Invariance ladder run and tabled per construct; licensed comparisons restated
  • Partial invariance (≥2 invariant items) or alignment used where full invariance failed
  • Response styles controlled; per-country reliability and validity reported
  • Estimator matches nesting; ICC and centering choices stated for multilevel models
  • Every claimed country difference backed by a formal difference test
  • Small-N-countries limits acknowledged; no continuous-dimension claims from 4 countries
  • Headline results carry cross-border managerial magnitudes

Anti-patterns

  • Comparing raw scale means across countries with no scalar-invariance evidence
  • "Significant in Germany, not in Brazil" offered as evidence of moderation
  • Country dummies interpreted as cultural effects
  • HLM with 6 countries and three country-level predictors
  • Pooled reliability statistics hiding a collapsed construct in one country
  • An invariance failure silently absorbed by dropping the offending country
