What it does

Jpam Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — a clear policy implication stated without overclaiming, legible to economists, political scientists, public-management scholars, and practitioners. Improves clarity and calibration; it does not change the analysis.

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 Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone and Performance reviews. 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

  • Legible to economists
  • Political scientists
  • Public-management scholars

Example prompts

  • “/jpam-writing-style”

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 Writing Style loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 634 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
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.

Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Journal of Policy Analysis and Management (JPAM) manuscript — a clear policy implication stated without overclaiming, legible to economists, political scientists, public-management scholars, and practitioners. Improves clarity and calibration; it does not change the analysis.

Writing Style (jpam-writing-style)

The JPAM house voice is clear, calibrated, and decision-oriented. A JPAM paper earns its place by stating a policy implication the design actually supports — neither buried in hedges nor inflated beyond what was identified. Write for a reader who may be an economist, a political scientist, a public- management scholar, or a practitioner, and who wants to know: what did you find, how credible is it, and what should we do about it.

When to trigger

  • Drafting the abstract, introduction, or the policy-implications / conclusion section
  • A reviewer said the paper "overclaims," "buries the finding," or "isn't legible to non-economists"
  • Calibrating the strength of the policy recommendation to the evidence
  • Tightening jargon for the cross-disciplinary APPAM audience

The JPAM introduction arc

Policy problem & decision → what's known and the gap → the policy/program studied → the credible design (named as a tool) → the headline effect in policy units → the cost-benefit / distributional takeaway → the calibrated implication → brief roadmap. The reader should know the finding and what it means for policy by the end of the first page.

Calibrated implication (the JPAM signature)

  • State the implication, then bound it. "This program raised Y by Z; at a cost of C per recipient, the benefit-cost ratio is R" — followed by the scope conditions that govern whether it transfers.
  • Match the verb to the design. A local RD estimate supports a claim about the threshold population, not the whole eligible pool. An ITT supports a claim about offering the program, not receiving it.
  • Say what you cannot conclude. Naming the limits is persuasive at JPAM, not weak; an honest boundary protects the credible core from the overclaiming critique.
  • No policy advocacy beyond the evidence. Recommend within what the estimate, cost-benefit, and external-validity conditions support.

Cross-disciplinary legibility

  • Define field-specific jargon; do not assume the econ, PS, or PA reader shares your vocabulary.
  • Lead with substance over method; the estimator is a tool, not the headline.
  • Keep the abstract concrete: question, policy/program, design, finding, implication.

Checklist

  • Finding and policy implication clear by the end of page one
  • Implication calibrated to the estimand (local/ITT/LATE stated, not over-generalized)
  • Scope conditions for transfer stated; limits named honestly
  • Effects in policy-relevant units in the prose, not only standardized
  • Jargon defined for a cross-disciplinary audience
  • No advocacy beyond what the design + cost-benefit support

Anti-patterns

  • Overclaiming: a sweeping policy recommendation from a local or imprecise estimate
  • The opposite failure: burying a credible finding under so many hedges no implication survives
  • Leading with the estimator instead of the policy question and finding
  • Field jargon that locks out the other APPAM disciplines
  • A conclusion that pivots to advocacy the evidence does not license
  • An abstract that names the method but never the policy takeaway

Overclaim vs. calibrated (illustrative contrasts)

  • Overclaim: "Our results show that this program should be adopted nationwide." → Calibrated: "Among the threshold population our RD identifies, the program raised Y by Z at a benefit-cost ratio of R; whether this extends to the full eligible pool depends on [scope condition]."
  • Overclaim: "The policy works." → Calibrated: "Offering the program (ITT) raised Y by Z; because take-up was T%, the effect on participants is larger but less precisely estimated."
  • Over-hedged (the opposite failure): burying a credible effect under so many caveats that no implication survives — JPAM wants the calibrated claim stated, not dissolved.

Calibration anchors (hedged)

  • At JPAM, naming what you cannot conclude strengthens the paper — it is the credibility that earns the policy recommendation you can make.
  • The Point/Counterpoint forum aside, JPAM is not an advocacy outlet; recommendations live inside the envelope of the estimand, the cost-benefit result, and the external-validity conditions.
  • Write the abstract so a policymaker learns the finding and the takeaway; a method-only abstract misses JPAM's audience.

Output format

【Implication (calibrated)】what to do, bounded by the design

【Scope + limits】transfer conditions and honest boundaries stated
【Units】effects in policy-relevant terms in prose? [Y/N]
【Legibility】jargon defined for econ/PS/PA readers? [Y/N]
【Next】jpam-transparency-and-data
