  • Checking whether a research question fits the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) — empirical microeconomics with a policy-relevant
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, The single most important…, What JHR actually wants and Fit checklist, plus 2 more sections

What it does

Jhr Topic Selection is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when checking whether a research question fits the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) — empirical microeconomics with a policy-relevant, causal emphasis — and to filter out off-scope "HR management" framings before paying the nonrefundable fee. A fit gate, not an idea generator.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 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 Recruiting and HR and Hypothesis generation. 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

  • Checking whether a research question fits the Journal of Human Resources (JHR) — empirical microeconomics with a policy-relevant
  • Causal emphasis — and to filter out off-scope HR management framings before paying the nonrefundable fee

Example prompts

  • “HR management”
  • “/jhr-topic-selection”

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

Jhr Topic Selection loads about 758 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 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
~758

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 313 words (~758 tokens).

“JHR's name is misleading. It is a leading empirical-microeconomics journal, founded 1965 at the UW-Madison Institute for Research on Poverty, and it does NOT consider management or personnel ("HR management") research. The nonrefundable $175 fee is not refunded for out-of-scope…”
