What it does

Jbes Literature Positioning is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when positioning a Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) methods paper against prior econometric and statistical methods. Stakes what is new relative to the existing toolkit; it does not write a standalone literature survey.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 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 Positioning and messaging, Econometrics and empirical research and Statistics. 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

  • Positioning a Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) methods paper against prior econometric and statistical methods
  • Tasks that involve Positioning and messaging
  • Tasks that involve Econometrics and empirical research

Example prompts

  • “/jbes-literature-positioning”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Name the incumbents. List the 3–6 methods a referee would consider state of the art for your problem (estimator, test, or algorithm — with…
  2. State your delta per incumbent. For each: weaker assumptions? better asymptotics/rates? valid under dependence/heavy tails/high dimension…
  3. Locate the strand. Place the paper in its method family (e.g., HAC inference, GMM, factor models, quantile methods, debiased ML, Bayesian…
  4. Bridge to the application. Tie the methodological delta to the empirical payoff: the new method changes a substantive conclusion or makes…
  5. Concede gracefully. Where an incumbent dominates (simpler, or better in a regime you do not target), say so; over-claiming invites a…

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

Jbes Literature Positioning loads about 924 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 421 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~924

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 421 words (~924 tokens).

“JBES referees are method experts: they judge a paper first by what it adds to the existing toolkit. Because the journal explicitly welcomes adaptation of methods from machine learning and data science alongside classical econometrics, your closest competitors may live…”
