What it does

Jru Robustness is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU) result may be sensitive to specification, incentive frame, sample, or inference. Organizes robustness by the threat to the risk/uncertainty parameter; it does not invent evidence or citations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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, covering Citation management. 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

  • A Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU) result may be sensitive to specification
  • Incentive frame

Example prompts

  • “/jru-robustness”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Rank threats by how badly each would damage the headline claim if true.
  2. Run the check that kills the most dangerous threat first; if the result dies there, stop and rethink before polishing anything.
  3. Report robustness as "the sign and rough magnitude of [parameter] is stable across [family]," not "Table A12 shows similar results."
  4. Distinguish checks that the design demands (incentive-frame tests for experiments) from generic ones (alternate clustering).
  5. Hand off to jru-tables-figures once the parameter is stable across the threats that matter.

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

Jru Robustness loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 849 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 a Journal of Risk and Uncertainty (JRU) result may be sensitive to specification, incentive frame, sample, or inference. Organizes robustness by the threat to the risk/uncertainty parameter; it does not invent evidence or citations.

Robustness Strategy (jru-robustness)

When to trigger

  • The headline risk/ambiguity parameter shifts under a different functional form (CRRA vs. CARA vs. expo-power) and you are unsure which to report
  • An experimental result might be an artifact of stakes, order, the random-incentive system, or a particular elicitation device
  • A referee will ask whether the finding survives EU vs. non-EU specifications, or pooled vs. heterogeneous-type estimation
  • Multiple hypotheses are tested across many lottery menus or treatments and no correction is in place

Organize robustness by threat, not by appendix

A JRU robustness section earns its place when every check is tied to a specific threat to the parameter's interpretation. List the threats first, then the check that answers each.

Threat to the resultThe check that addresses it
Functional-form dependence of the risk parameterRe-estimate under CRRA, CARA, expo-power; report whether the qualitative claim is stable
Utility–weighting confoundShow the result holds under a model that separates u from w (e.g., RDU/CPT, not just EU)
Elicitation-device artifactReplicate the pattern with a second device (price list vs. BDM vs. matching probabilities)
Random-incentive / isolation failureCompare one-shot-paid vs. all-paid; test for portfolio/house-money effects
Stake / hypothetical-bias sensitivityVary real stakes; compare to hypothetical where relevant
Subject heterogeneity masked by poolingEstimate a mixture / finite-type model or random coefficients, not just a representative agent
Multiple comparisons across menus/treatmentsAdjust (e.g., Holm / Romano–Wolf) and report which results survive
Inference too optimisticCluster at the subject level; report with few-cluster corrections where needed

For VSL / insurance empirics, add: alternative risk measures, sample-selection probes, and sensitivity to the publication-selection / meta-analytic benchmark.

Sequencing

  1. Rank threats by how badly each would damage the headline claim if true.
  2. Run the check that kills the most dangerous threat first; if the result dies there, stop and rethink before polishing anything.
  3. Report robustness as "the sign and rough magnitude of [parameter] is stable across [family]," not "Table A12 shows similar results."
  4. Distinguish checks that the design demands (incentive-frame tests for experiments) from generic ones (alternate clustering).
  5. Hand off to jru-tables-figures once the parameter is stable across the threats that matter.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. JRU spans decision experiments and applied risk; randomization inference for experiments, DiD/IV for observational claims.

  • Many outcomes / specifications: romano_wolf (step-down FWER) or benjamini_hochberg.
  • OVB sensitivity: oster_delta / sensemakr.
  • Inference: wild_cluster_bootstrap (few clusters), twoway_cluster / conley.
  • Re-fit off one handle: audit_result(result_id) lists missing checks + the exact suggest_function for each.
  • Exhibits: etable / did_summary_to_latex from the handle — no retyped numbers.

Decisive checks in the body, exhaustive battery in the appendix. JF execution walkthrough.

Checklist

  • Every robustness exhibit names the threat it addresses
  • The risk parameter is shown stable across at least two functional forms
  • A model that separates utility from probability weighting is among the specifications
  • Experiments: incentive-frame, stake, and order effects probed; second elicitation device where feasible
  • Heterogeneity addressed (mixture / random coefficients) rather than masked by a representative agent
  • Multiple-comparison adjustment applied when many menus/treatments are tested
  • Inference clusters at the subject (or assignment) level; few-cluster issue handled
Show full SKILL.md (339 more words)Show less

Anti-patterns

  • A robustness appendix that is a pile of tables with no map from threat to check
  • Reporting only the functional form that gives the cleanest number
  • Treating an EU-only robustness suite as sufficient when the claim is about non-EU behavior
  • Pooling across heterogeneous subjects and presenting the average as if it were a type
  • Mining many lottery menus and reporting the significant ones without correction

JRU referees draw a sharp line between probing a result and searching for one. Stay on the right side of it:

  • Pre-commit the headline specification and present alternatives as deviations from it, not as a menu you chose among.
  • Report all the forms you ran, including the ones where the estimate weakened — selective reporting reads as a fishing expedition to a specialist.
  • State the decision rule for when the result "survives": e.g., the sign holds and the magnitude stays within a stated band across forms and devices.
  • For experiments, distinguish pre-registered confirmatory checks from exploratory ones, and label them as such.

Robustness the experiment specifically demands

Lab and field elicitation papers carry threats that generic econometric robustness misses:

  • Comprehension and noise: show the result is not driven by subjects who failed comprehension checks; consider a trembling-hand / Fechner noise term rather than dropping "irrational" subjects.
  • Incentive realism: compare real vs. hypothetical, and high vs. low stakes, where the claim depends on it.
  • Within-subject consistency: report test-retest or internal consistency for the elicited parameter.

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A paper reports loss aversion λ ≈ 2.1 from a choice-list experiment. The most dangerous threat is that λ is an artifact of the list format (multiple switching, framing). The first check replicates the estimate with a second device (matching probabilities); the second re-estimates under CPT vs. a reference-dependent EU baseline; the third splits by a mixture model to confirm λ is not driven by a confused minority. Only after λ survives all three — with the across-device range reported in full — does the paper present it as the headline in jru-tables-figures.
