What it does

Jue Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which jue- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic through rebuttal for a Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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. 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

  • Deciding which jue- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing manuscript work from topic through rebuttal for a Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) submission

Example prompts

  • “/jue-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

Jue Workflow loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 798 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

JUE Workflow Router (jue-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which jue- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the Journal of Urban Economics (JUE) — the Elsevier field flagship for urban & regional economics, founded in 1974 by Edwin Mills and described as "the premier journal in the field." JUE rewards papers whose question is genuinely spatial: agglomeration economies, housing supply & real estate, local labor markets, commuting & transportation, land use & zoning, local public finance & Tiebout sorting, neighborhood effects, spatial sorting, urban growth, and place-based policy. The bar is a credible spatial identification married to a clear urban mechanism — not just a national-level result run on geographic data.

Operational tells that you are at JUE and not a sibling: single-anonymized (single-blind) review via Editorial Manager; a US$100 nonrefundable submission fee paid during submission (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准); a mandatory replication policy (data + code deposited to a major repository at acceptance, before publication); a short-paper track, JUE: Insights (≤6,000 words, ≤5 exhibits); co-editors-in-chief Nathaniel Baum-Snow (Toronto) and Kristian Behrens (UQÀM) (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official Elsevier/ScienceDirect pages.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?" on a JUE-bound paper
  • A draft needs its current spatial-economics bottleneck diagnosed
  • Work is ping-ponging between framing, identification, exhibits (maps!), and the response letter
  • A JUE decision letter arrived and the user must switch into revision mode
  • The team is deciding between JUE and a sibling (RSUE, JREconomics, JEG, JPubE)

Routing table

Current symptomNext skill
Question is not clearly spatial / fit with JUE vs a sibling is uncertainjue-topic-selection
Contribution vs. the urban-econ frontier is fuzzy or undersoldjue-literature-positioning
The spatial causal design (boundary RD, shift-share, place-based DiD) is shakyjue-identification
The mechanism needs a spatial-equilibrium or sorting model to interpretjue-theory-model
Results may be spatial-autocorrelation-, sorting-, or sample-sensitivejue-robustness
Exhibits are dense; the paper has no map; spatial pattern is invisiblejue-tables-figures
Prose buries the spatial mechanism; intro/abstract do not landjue-writing-style
Geocoded/restricted data deposit, README, repository prepjue-replication-package
Likely referee objections should be anticipated before submissionjue-referee-strategy
Ready to submit via Editorial Manager; need a preflightjue-submission
An R&R arrived; need a response-letter strategyjue-rebuttal

Default order

jue-topic-selection → jue-literature-positioning → jue-identification → jue-theory-model → jue-robustness → jue-tables-figures → jue-writing-style → jue-replication-package → jue-referee-strategy → jue-submission → jue-rebuttal

jue-writing-style is late-stage polish — do not rewrite the intro before identification and the spatial mechanism settle. Start jue-replication-package early if data is geocoded or restricted; the deposit is harder than it looks.

Routing by paper archetype

JUE spans several spatial sub-fields and the binding constraint differs by archetype. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

How JUE differs from its siblings (keep this straight while routing)

  • RSUE (Regional Science & Urban Economics, Elsevier) — leans more methodological / regional-science; JUE leads with the economics, not the spatial method.
  • Journal of Regional Science — broader regional-science scope; JUE is the urban-economics field flagship.
  • JEG (Journal of Economic Geography, OUP) — economic-geography framing (clusters, evolutionary geography), non-Elsevier; JUE is spatial-equilibrium urban economics.
  • JPubE (Journal of Public Economics) — the tax/spending design leads; at JUE the spatial reallocation and capitalization lead.
  • AEJ: Applied — rewards the causal design alone; JUE additionally requires a load-bearing urban mechanism.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating JUE as interchangeable with RSUE (more methods/regional-science), Journal of Regional Science, JEG (econ-geography, OUP), or JPubE (a place-based result is not automatically a public-finance paper)
  • Polishing exhibits or prose while the spatial identification is still moving
  • Deferring the replication folder to acceptance when the data is geocoded/restricted
  • A national-level result dressed in geographic data with no urban mechanism

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My paper shows a new rail line raised nearby house prices, but a referee says the price jump could be sorting of richer households into the corridor, and the control areas may be contaminated by displaced demand." That is two distinct JUE pushbacks — spatial sorting/selection and SUTVA/spillover contamination of controls — both owned by jue-identification (design) and jue-robustness (spatial-spillover sensitivity, donut controls). Route to jue-identification first; only once the capitalization estimate is defended (say it settles at 4.5%, illustrative) return to jue-tables-figures for the map and jue-rebuttal.

Two cross-cutting threads to keep alive throughout

  • Spatial inference is not a single stage — it surfaces in jue-identification (Conley/spatial-cluster SEs), jue-robustness (cutoff sensitivity), and jue-tables-figures (reporting). Do not treat it as a one-time fix.
  • The replication path for geocoded/restricted data touches jue-topic-selection (feasibility), jue-replication-package (deposit), and jue-submission (cover-letter exemption). Decide it early, not at acceptance.

Minimal decision snippet

if decision_letter_arrived:          -> jue-rebuttal
elif ready_to_submit:                -> jue-submission
elif anticipating_referees:          -> jue-referee-strategy
elif data_is_geocoded_or_restricted: -> jue-replication-package
elif exhibits_have_no_map:           -> jue-tables-figures
elif spatial_robustness_open:        -> jue-robustness
elif need_spatial_model:             -> jue-theory-model
elif identification_shaky:           -> jue-identification
elif claim_or_positioning_fuzzy:     -> jue-literature-positioning
else:                                -> jue-topic-selection
