What it does

Jae Theory Development is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when building the economic argument and predictions for a Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE) manuscript — grounding hypotheses in agency, information-economics, contracting, or disclosure theory so the paper applies economic theory to explain accounting phenomena rather than reporting a bare correlation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Accounting and bookkeeping. 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

  • Building the economic argument and predictions for a Journal of Accounting and Economics (JAE) manuscript — grounding hypotheses in agency
  • Information-economics
  • Disclosure theory so the paper applies economic theory to explain accounting phenomena rather than reporting a bare correlation

Example prompts

  • “/jae-theory-development”

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the friction. Information asymmetry between whom? Which agency conflict? What contracting/regulatory constraint?
  2. Name the economic actors and incentives. Managers, shareholders, creditors, analysts, auditors, regulators — each with an objective…
  3. Derive the prediction. Show how the friction plus incentives imply a sign on the relation; predictions are a priori, not…
  4. Specify cross-sectional variation. JAE prizes partitioning tests: the effect should be stronger where the friction is more severe (e.g…

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

Jae Theory Development loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 452 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 452 words (~1,087 tokens).

“JAE exists to apply economic theory to explain accounting phenomena. A prediction must follow from an economic primitive, not from intuition. The canonical building blocks are:”
