What it does

Jpam Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript against prior work — the policy-evaluation evidence base, the relevant economics / political-science / public-management literatures, and the policy/program record. Frames the gap and contribution; it does not design the study or write the full review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Positioning a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript against prior work — the policy-evaluation evidence base
  • The relevant economics / political-science / public-management literatures
  • The policy/program record

Example prompts

  • “/jpam-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Map the policy-evidence base. What is the current best estimate of this (or the closest)
  2. State the gap as a decision gap. Frame the hole as something a policymaker actually needs
  3. Engage across fields. Name the relevant economics, political-science, and public-management
  4. Reconcile, don't ignore, conflicting estimates. If prior work disagrees, say why your design
  5. Distinguish from the program-evaluation gray literature. Government/think-tank reports often

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

Jpam Literature Positioning loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 602 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 positioning a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript against prior work — the policy-evaluation evidence base, the relevant economics / political-science / public-management literatures, and the policy/program record. Frames the gap and contribution; it does not design the study or write the full review.

Literature Positioning (jpam-literature-positioning)

JPAM sits at a crossroads: a paper must engage the substantive policy literature (what is known about this program/field), the methods literature (how comparable effects have been credibly estimated), and frequently a second discipline (an economics result that a political scientist needs, or vice versa). Positioning establishes both an evidence gap and a decision-relevant contribution — not just "no one has done exactly this."

When to trigger

  • Drafting or revising the introduction and related-work framing
  • A reviewer said the contribution is "incremental" or "doesn't engage the [field] literature"
  • Reconciling conflicting prior estimates of the same policy's effect
  • Bridging an economics and a political-science / public-management literature

How to position for JPAM

  1. Map the policy-evidence base. What is the current best estimate of this (or the closest) policy's effect, and how credible is it? Cite the strongest causal studies, not just the most cited.
  2. State the gap as a decision gap. Frame the hole as something a policymaker actually needs: an unstudied population, a new policy regime, a contested magnitude, an untested mechanism, a cost-benefit unknown — not merely a methodological novelty.
  3. Engage across fields. Name the relevant economics, political-science, and public-management strands. JPAM readers come from all three; a one-discipline framing reads as parochial.
  4. Reconcile, don't ignore, conflicting estimates. If prior work disagrees, say why your design adjudicates (better identification, better data, a cleaner population) — this is a classic JPAM contribution.
  5. Distinguish from the program-evaluation gray literature. Government/think-tank reports often exist; position against them honestly and say what peer-reviewed credibility you add.

Contribution types JPAM values

  • First credible (vs. merely first) estimate of a policy's effect
  • Resolving a contested magnitude with stronger identification
  • Extending an effect to a new population, setting, or policy regime that matters for scale-up
  • Adding the cost-benefit / distributional dimension prior work omitted
  • A mechanism that tells policymakers why a program works and when it would transfer

Checklist

  • The strongest prior causal estimates cited, not just the most-cited descriptive work
  • The gap framed as a decision gap, not only a method gap
  • Economics / political-science / public-management strands each engaged where relevant
  • Conflicting prior estimates named and the adjudication previewed
  • Government/think-tank evidence acknowledged and differentiated
  • Contribution stated in one sentence a non-specialist policymaker could repeat
Show full SKILL.md (231 more words)Show less

Anti-patterns

  • A literature wall organized by author rather than by what is known/unknown for the decision
  • One-discipline framing that ignores the other APPAM audiences
  • "No one has studied X" when descriptive or gray-literature work exists — engage it
  • Burying the contribution; JPAM wants the decision-relevant gap up front
  • Citing the policy as important without citing the evidence on whether it works

Sibling-venue positioning (do not mis-home the paper)

JPAM overlaps with several journals; positioning should make the cross-field, decision-oriented contribution explicit so the paper is clearly a JPAM paper, not a near-miss for a sibling:

If the framing is purely…The natural home is…JPAM reframing
An economics-method or pure-estimation resultAEJ: Economic Policy / J. of Public Economicsforeground the policy decision + cost-benefit + distribution
Public-management / organizational theoryPublic Administration Review / JPARTforeground the credibly identified program effect
A single-field behavioral resulta field journalforeground the cross-disciplinary stake and scale-up relevance

Calibration anchors (hedged)

  • "First credible estimate" beats "first estimate" — JPAM rewards identification quality over novelty of the question alone.
  • Engage the gray/government-report literature honestly; APPAM readers often know it well, and ignoring it reads as unfamiliarity with the policy record.
  • A contribution a policymaker can restate in one sentence travels better through a cross-disciplinary referee pool than one phrased only in a subfield's idiom.

Output format

【Policy-evidence base】current best causal estimate(s) + credibility
【Gap (as a decision)】what a policymaker still needs to know
【Cross-field strands】econ / PS / PA literatures engaged
【Conflicts adjudicated】how this paper resolves contested estimates
【Contribution (one sentence)】decision-relevant claim
【Next】jpam-theory-building
