What it does

Jms Methods is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the research design is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — matching design (qualitative case/ethnography, process/longitudinal, survey, archival, experiment, multi-method) to the theoretical question, with qualitative rigor treated as first-class. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation or trustworthiness checks (jms-data-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. 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

  • The research design is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — matching design (qualitative case/ethnography
  • Process/longitudinal
  • Multi-method) to the theoretical question
  • With qualitative rigor treated as first-class

Example prompts

  • “/jms-methods”

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

Jms Methods loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 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
~100
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.

description
Use when the research design is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — matching design (qualitative case/ethnography, process/longitudinal, survey, archival, experiment, multi-method) to the theoretical question, with qualitative rigor treated as first-class. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation or trustworthiness checks (jms-data-analysis).

Research Design & Methods (jms-methods)

When to trigger

  • The design may not match the theory's level, timing, or causal claim
  • A qualitative study's case selection, saturation, or analytic procedure is under-specified
  • Quantitative data are single-source, single-wave, self-reported (common-method bias risk)
  • The theory is causal but the design is cross-sectional/correlational
  • A reviewer says "the design cannot test/show this" or "the method is not rigorous enough"

Match the design to the question — pluralism with rigor

JMS welcomes all rigorous designs and is, distinctively, a friendly home for qualitative and process work — but rigor must clear a top-tier bar regardless of method. Choose the design the question demands:

Theoretical claim / questionDesign that earns it
How/why a phenomenon emerges or worksInductive multi-case (Eisenhardt) or ethnography
How something unfolds over timeProcess / longitudinal (temporal bracketing, visual mapping)
Causal effect of a manipulable causeExperiment (lab / field / online) or natural experiment
Whether & how much, with generalisationSurvey (multi-wave) or panel archival
Cross-level mechanism (firm → individual)Multilevel / nested design (HLM-appropriate)
Contested, novel, or richly contextualMulti-method (e.g., qual study 1 + quant study 2)

Designing qualitative rigor (first-class at JMS)

  • Case/site selection is theoretical, not convenient: state the sampling logic (extreme, polar, theoretically replicating). Justify the number of cases and why they let the theory travel.
  • Data sources triangulated: interviews + archives + observation; report counts (informants, hours, documents) and the period.
  • Analytic procedure stated: which approach (Gioia, Eisenhardt cross-case, grounded theory, narrative/temporal bracketing) and how codes became constructs.
  • Trustworthiness in the qualitative idiom: member checking, an audit trail, negative-case analysis, inter-coder agreement where appropriate — not p-values.

Designing against the threats JMS reviewers cite (quantitative)

  • Common-method bias: separate sources / temporal separation across waves; objective or archival outcomes where possible. Procedural design beats a post-hoc Harman test (the Podsakoff guidance is standard).
  • Endogeneity (archival/survey): anticipate omitted variables, reverse causality, selection; plan an identification strategy (panel FE, DiD, IV/2SLS, natural experiment, matching) and state each one's assumptions.
  • Measurement: validated multi-item scales; pilot new measures; plan a CFA; state the level each construct is measured at and justify any aggregation (ICC, r_wg).
  • Power & sampling: justify the frame, response rate, and power — interactions need more power than main effects.

Level-of-analysis discipline

State the level for theory, measurement, and analysis, and keep them aligned. If theory is at the firm level but data are individual, justify aggregation; for cross-level effects, model the nesting — do not run OLS on nested data.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

For the empirical / causal lane, estimate and audit rather than only specify. Full map: execution-with-mcp. JMS mixes qualitative and quantitative management research; the chain below is for the quantitative-empirical lane.

  • detect_design → recommend → fit with as_handle=true → audit_result to enumerate the checks the design owes.
  • Panel / staggered DiD: callaway_santanna / sun_abraham + bacon_decomposition
    • honest_did_from_result. IV: effective_f_test + anderson_rubin_ci. RDD: rdrobust + mccrary_test.
  • Experiments: randomization-based inference and romano_wolf for the many-outcome family-wise correction reviewers expect.

Match the toolchain to the reviewer pool, and report the effect size the venue wants. A run end-to-end (synthetic data, real returns) is in the JF execution walkthrough.

Checklist

  • Design can actually answer the question (causal claims have causal leverage)
  • Qualitative: theoretical case selection, triangulated sources with counts, named analytic procedure, trustworthiness checks
  • Quantitative: CMB addressed by design; endogeneity strategy specified; validated/piloted measures; CFA planned
  • Level of analysis aligned across theory, measurement, analysis; aggregation justified
  • Sampling frame, N, and power (incl. interactions) justified
  • Where useful, a second study triangulates the mechanism

Anti-patterns

  • Qualitative-by-default vagueness: "we did a case study" with no selection logic or analytic procedure
  • Cross-sectional causal claims: "X causes Y" from one-wave correlational data
  • CMB as afterthought: relying on a single Harman test instead of designed separation
  • Ignored endogeneity: an obviously endogenous regressor with no identification strategy
  • Mismatched levels: theorising at the firm level, testing disaggregated individual data via OLS
  • Method theatre: a fashionable estimator or qualitative label not justified by the question
