What it does

Jibs Methods is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when designing the empirical study for a Journal of International Business Studies (JIBS) manuscript — matching a cross-country and/or multilevel design to the question, planning for measurement equivalence, common-method variance, and endogeneity before data collection. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (jibs-data-analysis) or build the mechanism (jibs-theory-development).

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 Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis. 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

  • Planning for measurement equivalence
  • Common-method variance
  • Endogeneity before data collection

Example prompts

  • “/jibs-methods”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Cross-national measurement equivalence. Because constructs are studied across countries and cultures, plan multi-group measurement from…
  2. Common-method variance (CMV). JIBS actively gatekeeps CMV: survey/same-respondent designs that appear to suffer from CMV are routinely…
  3. Endogeneity / "dynamic endogeneity." For internationalization-as-process designs, JIBS names dynamic endogeneity as a recurring demand…

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

Jibs Methods loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 418 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
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 418 words (~1,136 tokens).

“JIBS is paradigmatically and methodologically pluralistic by policy — quantitative, qualitative, mixed, and pure-theory work are all in scope. There is no single mandated method. But its practical center of gravity is theory-driven, hypothesis-testing empirical work on cross-country or multilevel…”
