What it does

Red Literature Positioning is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) manuscript within the dynamic-economics and SED literature — mapping the quantitative-macro lineage a paper builds on, citing in author-year style, and making the marginal advance legible to the Society for Economic Dynamics readership rather than a generalist audience.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Citing in author-year style
  • Making the marginal advance legible to the Society for Economic Dynamics readership rather than a generalist audience

Example prompts

  • “/red-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Closest model/method and its missing mechanism.
  2. Closest quantitative result and the moment it cannot match.
  3. Closest computation/estimation approach and the constraint it imposes.
  4. Your paper's delta in one sentence.

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

Red Literature Positioning loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 558 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Literature Positioning for RED (red-literature-positioning)

When to trigger

  • Writing the introduction and related-work sections for a RED submission
  • Unsure which strand of the dynamic-economics literature the paper extends
  • Pitching the contribution to the SED community versus a generalist top-5 framing

How to position for RED

RED's readers are the SED community working on dynamic models. Position the paper inside the method lineage, not just the topic:

  • Name the modeling tradition you extend (e.g., RBC/DSGE, Aiyagari/Bewley–Huggett heterogeneous agents, Krusell–Smith aggregate-uncertainty methods, search/matching, endogenous growth, HANK).
  • State the quantitative gap precisely: which moment the prior models miss, which mechanism is absent, which policy environment is unmodeled, or which computational barrier you remove.
  • Distinguish your contribution type — a new mechanism, a new solution/estimation method, a new quantitative finding, or a new empirical regularity that disciplines the model.
  • Use author-year (Harvard-style) citations throughout, consistent with RED's reference system.

Because RED's scope is method-defined, the literature you cite should be dynamic-model literature. A paper that mostly cites reduced-form empirical work without a dynamic-modeling anchor reads as a poor fit; tie empirical references back to what they discipline in the model.

Checklist

  • The modeling lineage is named and the paper's place in it is explicit
  • The marginal advance is stated as a quantitative/mechanistic delta, not "we also study X"
  • Closely related SED-community papers are cited and differentiated, not ignored
  • Citations are clean author-year; reference list complete and consistent

Anti-patterns

  • A generalist "big literature" sweep that never locates the paper in a dynamic-model tradition
  • Burying the closest competitor instead of confronting it head-on
  • Mixed or inconsistent citation styles instead of clean author-year

SED-reader positioning move

For each cited strand, name the state variable, shock, friction, or numerical method that connects it to your paper. A RED reader should be able to see the dynamic lineage without translating from a general-interest pitch.

Use this sequence:

  1. Closest model/method and its missing mechanism.
  2. Closest quantitative result and the moment it cannot match.
  3. Closest computation/estimation approach and the constraint it imposes.
  4. Your paper's delta in one sentence.

Do not spend equal space on literatures that supply motivation but do not discipline the dynamic model.

Lineage map template

Write the positioning as a lineage map before drafting prose:

text
LINEAGE MAP — [paper title]
  Tradition:       [e.g., incomplete-markets / Aiyagari–Bewley–Huggett]
  State variables: [what the tradition tracks: wealth distribution, beliefs, match capital]
  Closest model:   [author-year] — misses [mechanism]
  Closest moment:  [author-year] — cannot match [moment + magnitude]
  Closest method:  [author-year] — constrained by [computational or estimation limit]
  This paper:      adds [delta] and shows [quantitative consequence]

Every line should name something dynamic — a state variable, a shock process, a friction, or a solution method. If a line can only be filled with a topic word ("inequality", "housing"), the positioning is still generalist and not yet RED-shaped.

Positioning vignette: a firm-dynamics draft

A draft embeds collateral constraints in a Hopenhayn-style entry/exit model. Illustrative map: tradition = heterogeneous-firm dynamics; closest model = a frictionless benchmark whose firm-size distribution is too thin at entry; closest moment = an exit hazard by age that prior calibrations overshoot by roughly a third (illustrative figure); delta = a borrowing constraint that bends the hazard while preserving the aggregate-TFP discipline of the benchmark. The introduction's first four sentences fall straight out of this map, each anchored by one author-year citation.

Strand-weighting rule

Allocate related-work space by what disciplines the model: strands that supply calibration targets, solution methods, or competing mechanisms earn paragraphs; strands that only motivate the topic earn one sentence with a representative citation. SED readers forgive a short motivation; they do not forgive a missing comparison to the nearest quantitative experiment in their own tradition.
