At a glance

A skill your agent uses when starting or orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point.

  • Orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, First question: which article…, Routing map (stage → skill) and Default order, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Retrospectives

What it does

Jpam Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when starting or orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right JPAM sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Feature Research Article, Point/Counterpoint, Methods for Policy Analysis, Policy Insights, Policy Retrospective) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Product & Project Management, covering Retrospectives. 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

  • Orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point
  • Tasks that involve Retrospectives

Example prompts

  • “/jpam-workflow”

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 Workflow loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 446 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Use when starting or orienting any Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript and you need the entry point. Routes to the right JPAM sub-skill based on lifecycle stage and which article type (Feature Research Article, Point/Counterpoint, Methods for Policy Analysis, Policy Insights, Policy Retrospective) fits. It dispatches; it does not draft content.

JPAM Workflow Router (jpam-workflow)

The orchestrator for a JPAM submission. Figure out the stage and the article type, then send the user to the matching skill. JPAM is the cross-disciplinary public-policy-analysis flagship of APPAM (published by Wiley) — the router's first job is to make sure the paper delivers a credibly identified effect of a real policy or program and a clear, non-overclaimed policy implication, legible to economists, political scientists, and public-management scholars alike.

When to trigger

  • Starting a new JPAM paper and unsure where to begin
  • Mid-project and unsure which skill applies next
  • Deciding which article type fits the work
  • Returning with a decision letter (route to jpam-rebuttal)

First question: which article type?

Full causal evaluation of a policy/program with broad relevanceFeature Research Articlenormal pipeline below

Routing map (stage → skill)

Idea / policy relevance + fit?    → jpam-topic-selection
Where does it sit across fields?  → jpam-literature-positioning
What's the theory of change?      → jpam-theory-building
Is identification credible?       → jpam-research-design
Are the estimates + CBA sound?    → jpam-data-analysis
Are the exhibits clear?           → jpam-tables-figures
Does the implication land?        → jpam-writing-style
Replication package ready?        → jpam-transparency-and-data
How will it be judged?            → jpam-review-process
Ready to submit?                  → jpam-submission
Got an R&R / decision?            → jpam-rebuttal

Default order

topic-selection → literature-positioning → theory-building → research-design → data-analysis → tables-figures → writing-style → transparency-and-data → review-process → submission → rebuttal

Iterate: most papers loop theory-of-change ↔ design ↔ analysis several times before writing-style.

JPAM fit check (run before routing)

CheckPass conditionRoute if weak
Policy relevanceA policymaker or program designer can state what decision this evidence informs.jpam-topic-selection
IdentificationThe causal claim rests on a credible design (RCT / DiD / RD / IV / synthetic control), not selection-on-observables hope.jpam-research-design
Cross-disciplinary reachAn economist, a political scientist, and a public-management reader each see why it matters.jpam-literature-positioning
Implication disciplineThe policy takeaway is calibrated to what the design actually identifies — no overclaiming.jpam-writing-style

If the paper fails the identification check, do not route to writing-style — JPAM reviewers reject well-written papers whose causal claim outruns the design. If it fails policy relevance, it may be a better fit for a field economics/political-science journal (see sibling guard in README).

Anti-patterns

  • Treating JPAM like a field economics journal — the policy decision and cross-field reach must be explicit
  • A clean estimate with no stated policy implication (or an implication the design cannot support)
  • Confusing JPAM with AEJ: Economic Policy / J. of Public Economics (economics field venues) or PAR / JPART (public management)
  • Pitching a peer-reviewed Feature article into the invited, non-reviewed Point/Counterpoint or Policy Insights slots
