What it does
Ecta Literature Positioning is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when locating an Econometrica result precisely within the methods / theory lineage it extends, and when writing the related-work paragraphs that pre-empt "how does this differ from X?" Builds the positioning — it does not judge overall fit (use ecta-topic-selection) or state the theorem (use ecta-theory-model).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Marketing & SEO, covering Positioning and messaging and Literature review. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
When your agent uses it
- Locating an Econometrica result precisely within the methods / theory lineage it extends
- State the theorem (use ecta-theory-model)
Example prompts
- “how does this differ from X?”
- “/ecta-literature-positioning”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Foundational result — the classic theorem/estimator the literature builds on
- Direct antecedents — the 3–6 papers your result most directly competes with or
- Your delta — for each antecedent, the single formal sentence describing the
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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
Ecta Literature Positioning loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 538 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.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 538 words (~1,249 tokens).
“Econometrica referees are typically the people who wrote the results you are extending — and the handling co-editor (one of a small board; e.g., Keisuke Hirano, Aureo de Paula, Marciano Siniscalchi, Pete Klenow, Patrick Kline, under Editor Marina Halac, 2025–2029…”
