What it does

Jle Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which jle- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Research & Science. 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

  • Deciding which jle- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) submission

Example prompts

  • “/jle-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. jle-topic-selection — place the legal/regulatory question at JLE, not a sibling
  2. jle-literature-positioning — stake the marginal contribution to law and economics
  3. jle-identification — make the law-to-outcome causal mapping credible
  4. jle-theory-model — add the price-theory / deterrence model that interprets the estimate
  5. jle-robustness — show the headline survives specification, sample, jurisdiction, inference
  6. jle-tables-figures — make the legal-variation result legible in one exhibit
  7. jle-writing-style — make the institution and the design land (abstract + intro last)
  8. jle-replication-package — assemble the data/code deposit for the pre-publication check
  9. jle-referee-strategy — pre-empt the objections this design and field invite
  10. jle-submission — Editorial Manager preflight (single-blind, fee, title page)
  11. jle-rebuttal — after the R&R

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

Jle Workflow loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 831 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

JLE Workflow Router (jle-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which jle- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) — the University of Chicago Press journal founded in 1958 that defined the field of law and economics (the Coase–Stigler–Director tradition). JLE rewards credible economic analysis of law, regulation, and legal institutions: antitrust and competition, regulation and its incidence, crime and deterrence, property and contract, corporate and securities law, litigation, intellectual property, and the political economy of law. The house sensibility is Chicago price theory plus an institutional eye — a real legal or regulatory question, a credible empirical design or a disciplined theoretical model, and respect for how the rule actually operates.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as JLE. Operational tells that you are at JLE and not a sibling: review is single-blind (the title page carries author names; referees stay anonymous) — so do not anonymize the manuscript; submission is via the JLE Editorial Manager site; a US$100 submission fee applies (beginning May 1, 2026; non-refundable; editorial review does not start until it is paid); the data and replication policy requires data, programs, and computation details to be available for replication before publication; house citation is Chicago author-date. Editors as of 2026: Elliott Ash, Matthew Backus, Dennis W. Carlton, Dhammika Dharmapala, Thomas J. Miles, Sam Peltzman (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on journals.uchicago.edu/journals/jle.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?"
  • A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed
  • Work is ping-ponging between identification, framing, exhibits, and the response letter
  • A JLE decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode

Routing table

Current symptomNext skill
Unsure the paper fits JLE vs. Journal of Legal Studies / JLEO / ALERjle-topic-selection
Contribution vs. the law-and-economics literature is fuzzy or undersoldjle-literature-positioning
Causal design rests on OLS+controls, TWFE on staggered law changes, or a weak IVjle-identification
A model of the legal rule / deterrence / contracting is neededjle-theory-model
Results not shown robust to specification, sample, inference, jurisdictionjle-robustness
Exhibits dense; the legal-variation estimate not legible in one table/figurejle-tables-figures

Want to anticipate referee objections before submittingjle-referee-strategy
Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need a preflightjle-submission
Received an R&R; need a response-letter strategyjle-rebuttal

Default order

  1. jle-topic-selection — place the legal/regulatory question at JLE, not a sibling
  2. jle-literature-positioning — stake the marginal contribution to law and economics
  3. jle-identification — make the law-to-outcome causal mapping credible
  4. jle-theory-model — add the price-theory / deterrence model that interprets the estimate
  5. jle-robustness — show the headline survives specification, sample, jurisdiction, inference
  6. jle-tables-figures — make the legal-variation result legible in one exhibit
  7. jle-writing-style — make the institution and the design land (abstract + intro last)
  8. jle-replication-package — assemble the data/code deposit for the pre-publication check
  9. jle-referee-strategy — pre-empt the objections this design and field invite
  10. jle-submission — Editorial Manager preflight (single-blind, fee, title page)
  11. jle-rebuttal — after the R&R

jle-writing-style is a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before identification and robustness settle.

Anti-patterns

  • Anonymizing the manuscript — JLE is single-blind; the title page carries author names. Blinding is the wrong reflex here (it is correct at AEJ/JLEO, not JLE).
  • Treating the replication deposit as an acceptance-day chore — the policy requires materials available before publication; build it as you go (jle-replication-package)
  • Polishing exhibits (jle-tables-figures) while the identification or headline estimate is still moving
  • Framing the paper as doctrinal legal scholarship (drifts toward Journal of Legal Studies) or as organizational/positive-political-economy (drifts toward JLEO) instead of Chicago-style law-and-economics

Routing by paper archetype

JLE spans several law-and-economics designs, and the first bottleneck differs by archetype. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
law change / staggered statute adoption (DiD / event study)negative-weighting under staggered timing; parallel trends across jurisdictionsjle-identification
court / judge / case-assignment design (IV or as-good-as-random)random-assignment defense; monotonicity; exclusionjle-identification
regulatory threshold / eligibility cutoff (RD)density manipulation; bandwidth; bunchingjle-identification → jle-robustness
antitrust / enforcement event (merger, decree, entry)event-window contamination; market definition; control marketsjle-identification → jle-robustness
theory of a legal rule / deterrence / liabilitya model whose comparative statics are testable, not decorativejle-theory-model
measurement of a legal/regulatory object (new index, hand-coded doctrine)validity of the measure; framing the contribution without causal overclaimjle-topic-selection → jle-literature-positioning

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My event study on states adopting a tort-reform statute looks fine, but a referee says the two-way fixed-effects estimate is contaminated by already-reformed states and the parallel-trends story across jurisdictions is thin." That is two JLE pushbacks — forbidden comparisons under staggered statute adoption and cross-jurisdiction pre-trend credibility — both owned by jle-identification, with the presentation in jle-robustness. Route there first; only once the heterogeneity-robust estimate is stable (say liability claims fall 8% [s.e. 3], illustrative) do you return to jle-tables-figures and jle-rebuttal to present and defend it.
