Jle Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a law-and-economics project belongs at The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) rather than the Journal of Legal Studies, JLEO, or the American Law and Economics Review, and what its central legal/regulatory question should be. Sets venue fit and question scope; it does not design the identification (see jle-identification).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Jle Topic Selection loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 893 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/jle-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).JLE wants economic analysis of law, regulation, and legal institutions where a real legal/regulatory question is answered with a credible empirical design or a disciplined theoretical model, in the Chicago price-theory-plus-institutions tradition. The legal rule or institution must be load-bearing — not background color for a generic economics paper, and not a doctrinal argument dressed in regression.
| Signal in your project | Likely fit |
|---|---|
| A legal rule / regulation / enforcement regime changes behavior, and you identify the effect credibly | JLE (core) |
| The contribution is primarily doctrinal or normative-legal, lightly empirical | lean Journal of Legal Studies (also UChicago, more legal/doctrinal) |
| The question is about organizations, governance, or positive political economy / institutions-as-equilibria | lean JLEO |
| Solid law-and-econ but incremental, field-internal, or a shorter contribution | American Law and Economics Review |
| The legal angle is incidental; it is really labor/public/IO with a law label | a field journal or AEJ, not JLE |
| Pure mechanism-design / contract theory with no legal institution | a theory journal, not JLE |
JLE is question-first and institution-respecting: an empirical paper needs the rule's mechanics right (who is bound, when it binds, what the counterfactual rule is); a theory paper needs comparative statics about a legal rule that someone could in principle test or recognize in the world.
jle-identification or jle-theory-model.A researcher has scraped two decades of state appellate decisions and wants to "study judges and the economy." That is a dataset, not a question. Working through the fit test: the cleanest variation is the staggered random assignment of cases to judges with measurably different priors — a court-assignment design. The question becomes "what is the effect of being assigned a pro-defendant judge on firm investment after a contract dispute, identified by random case assignment?" The doctrinal debate is whether judicial discretion creates legal uncertainty that chills investment; the institution is real (assignment rules, recusal, appeal). Now it is JLE-shaped — and clearly not a doctrinal JLS note or a JLEO governance study.
A project lands more naturally if it sits in one of JLE's historical strengths. Use this to confirm the question is recognizably law-and-economics:
If the question does not sit in or adjacent to one of these, re-examine whether the legal institution is really load-bearing.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Jle Topic Selection is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Jle Topic Selection is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
