What it does

Jbes Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when polishing prose, theorem statements, the abstract, and the introduction for a Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) methods paper so the methodological contribution and its empirical relevance both land. Polishes exposition; it does not change theory or results.

Its SKILL.md is about 890 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 Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone 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

  • Polishing prose
  • Theorem statements

Example prompts

  • “/jbes-writing-style”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The problem — the empirical/statistical problem that motivates the method, in plain terms.
  2. Why existing methods fall short — the gap (assumptions, robustness, computation) that blocks a clean answer.
  3. The contribution — what the new method is and what it delivers (consistency / valid inference / feasibility).
  4. Evidence preview — the Monte Carlo properties and the empirical application, in one breath.
  5. Relation to prior methods — concise positioning, not a survey.
  6. Roadmap — brief.

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 Writing Style loads about 894 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~894

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 399 words (~894 tokens).

“JBES is read by both econometricians and applied economists/statisticians, so the writing must make a methodological contribution legible while keeping its empirical relevance front and center. Unlike a general-economics journal (which leads with a finding) or a pure-statistics journal (which…”
