Pubar Research Design is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when defending the research design of a Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript — public-management causal designs (DiD around reforms, survey & field experiments on bureaucrats/citizens, RD, IV), case comparison and process tracing, and mixed methods. PAR judges each tradition on its own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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 Econometrics and empirical research. 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.
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.
Pubar Research Design loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 891 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/pubar-research-design/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).PAR accepts many methodologies but is demanding about each. The design must credibly connect the
argument (pubar-theory-building) to evidence drawn from public organizations, bureaucrats, citizens,
or jurisdictions. This skill is mode-aware: pick the section that matches your work and defend it
against the strongest alternative explanation.
pubar-literature-positioningPAR is a generalist flagship, so the design must support both an academic claim and a usable public- management implication. Start with this gate before polishing methods language.
| Claim type | Design burden | Practice-relevance check |
|---|---|---|
| Reform or mandate effect | Assignment/timing logic, counterfactual trend, spillover check, and clustering at assignment level | The finding changes how agencies time, target, or evaluate reforms |
| Managerial behavior | Sample frame tied to real public managers or frontline staff, realistic decision task, and measured behavioral outcome | The recommendation is feasible inside public organizations |
| Citizen response / public trust | Treatment realism, representativeness limits, manipulation checks, and ethical framing | The takeaway does not overgeneralize from survey preference to administrative behavior |
| Case/process account | Case-selection logic, process-tracing tests, chronology, and rival-account evidence | The lesson transfers to a defined class of agencies, programs, or jurisdictions |
| Mixed-method mechanism | Quantitative association/effect plus qualitative implementation or mechanism evidence | The qualitative strand explains what managers can act on, not just why results are interesting |
For the single strongest rival explanation, write one sentence: "If the rival were true rather than my argument, the agencies/managers/citizens would look like ___; instead they look like ___." If you cannot, the design does not yet identify the contribution — and the practitioner takeaway is unsafe.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Pubar Research Design is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Pubar Research Design is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
