What it does

Jape Identification Strategy is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when designing or defending the empirical identification of a Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) manuscript — a credible strategy applied to real data, with assumptions stated, tested, and reproducible. Covers time-series, panel, IV, and quasi-experimental designs typical of applied econometrics, tying every claim to depositable evidence.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 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 Forecasting and time series, Econometrics and empirical research and Experimental design. 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

  • Defending the empirical identification of a Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) manuscript — a credible strategy applied to real data
  • With assumptions stated

Example prompts

  • “/jape-identification-strategy”

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

Jape Identification Strategy loads about 707 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 258 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~707

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 258 words (~707 tokens).

“JAE publishes applications on real data, so identification is a credible empirical strategy, not a theorem. The bar: a clearly stated estimand, explicit identifying assumptions, and diagnostics that test them, all reproducible from deposited code/data. Separate the econometric object from…”
