  • The central theorem of an Econometrica manuscript must be stated cleanly and proven completely — assumptions

What it does

Ecta Theory Model is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when the central theorem of an Econometrica manuscript must be stated cleanly and proven completely — assumptions, generality, and proof strategy. Builds and audits the theorem-and-proof core; it does not derive the identification/asymptotic conditions (use ecta-identification) or run simulations (use ecta-robustness).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • The central theorem of an Econometrica manuscript must be stated cleanly and proven completely — assumptions

Example prompts

  • “/ecta-theory-model”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Definitions — every object used in the theorem (spaces, operators, parameter set,
  2. Assumptions — numbered, each stated once, each used. Group standing assumptions
  3. Theorems / Propositions / Lemmas — the headline result first or clearly flagged;
  4. Proofs — in-text for short proofs; the full proof in the Supplemental Material

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 Theory Model loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 762 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 762 words (~1,584 tokens).

“This is the heart of an Econometrica paper. The product is a complete, correct proof of a general, cleanly stated theorem. Econometrica is the field's theorem-proof journal: the referee pool (routed by the handling co-editor) reads proofs line by line…”
