Nature Paper Card
Yuan1z0825/nature-skills
Builds a structured deep-reading card for one scientific paper, covering methods, how experiments support claims, limitations and research ideas, with a script to prepare the source.
A skill your agent uses when deciding whether a question is a genuinely spatial, urban-economics contribution that fits the Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) rather than a sibling venue.

jue-topic-selectionA skill your agent uses when deciding whether a question is a genuinely spatial, urban-economics contribution that fits the Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) rather than a sibling venue.
Jue Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a question is a genuinely spatial, urban-economics contribution that fits the Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) rather than a sibling venue. Locks the spatial question and outlet fit before positioning; it does not write the literature review or design the identification.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Literature review. 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.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Jue Topic Selection loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,090 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/jue-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).JUE publishes work where space is constitutive of the economics, not a label on the data. The question should turn on at least one spatial primitive: agglomeration economies, housing supply elasticity, land use & zoning, commuting/transportation, local public finance & Tiebout sorting, neighborhood effects, or spatial sorting/equilibrium. Run the manuscript through three gates:
| If the paper's core is... | It belongs at... | because... |
|---|---|---|
| a spatial mechanism with urban data and an urban audience | JUE | the field flagship for urban & regional economics |
| methods/theory of regional science, broader spatial econometrics | RSUE or J. of Regional Science | JUE leads with the economics, not the spatial method per se |
| economic-geography framing, clusters, evolutionary geography | JEG (OUP) | JEG is geography-leaning and non-Elsevier |
| the tax/spending design dominates; geography is the setting | JPubE | a place-based result is not automatically a public-finance contribution |
| a broad applied-micro causal result with a city setting | AEJ: Applied | AEJ rewards the design; JUE wants the spatial mechanism too |
JUE is a high-volume field flagship and the editors desk-reject freely. The recurring desk-reject patterns are worth designing against from the start:
The Insights track was built for results that are sharp and timely — a clean evaluation of a recent policy, a measurement contribution, a decisive null. If your finding is one well-identified estimate that does not need a model and would lose force if delayed by a multi-year full-article cycle, Insights is the right home. Reserve the full article for contributions that need a model, a battery of mechanisms, or a quantitative-spatial counterfactual. Misjudging this — padding an Insights result or compressing a full contribution — is itself a fit error referees notice.
A team has clean admin data showing firms near a new university campus pay higher wages. Tempting framing: "agglomeration raises wages." But the mechanism gate exposes a sorting story — high-wage firms may have located near the campus. The JUE-viable reframing pins a mechanism: use the staggered campus openings as a shock to local knowledge spillovers, decompose the wage gain into sorting vs true spillover, and report the spillover magnitude relevant to place-based innovation policy. That is an agglomeration contribution; "firms near campuses pay more" is a desk-reject.
Urban questions are often constrained by what geography you can observe. Before committing, confirm the spatial resolution you need actually exists and is accessible: parcel/address-level for capitalization and boundary designs, establishment-level for agglomeration, tract/block for neighborhood effects, network/GTFS for transport. A question that requires geocoded individual data you cannot obtain (or cannot deposit under JUE's replication policy) is a topic-selection problem, not a later logistics detail — fold the data path and the replication route into the topic decision, and loop in jue-replication-package if the data is restricted.
【Spatial mechanism】one sentence — what space does in the economics
【JUE vs sibling】JUE / RSUE / JRS / JEG / JPubE / AEJ:Applied + one-line reason
【Format】full article / JUE: Insights
【Marginal contribution】mechanism / design / data / magnitude (pick the real one)
【Equilibrium engagement】how reallocation is handled
【Next skill】jue-literature-positioningIf the spatial-mechanism test fails, the fastest fix is rarely a new dataset — it is reframing the existing result around the spatial primitive (capitalization, sorting, agglomeration) that was always implicit but never made the point of the paper.
