At a glance

A skill your agent uses when the assumptions, regularity conditions, identification result, and asymptotic theory of a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) methodological paper are the bottleneck.

  • Works in 5 steps: Identification → Assumptions / regularity conditions → Asymptotic theory → …
  • The assumptions
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, The JoE formal bar, The formal-core checklist and Numerical / Monte Carlo…, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Joe Identification Strategy is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when the assumptions, regularity conditions, identification result, and asymptotic theory of a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) methodological paper are the bottleneck. Stress-tests the formal core — what is assumed, what is proved, and how general it is — before tables are drafted.

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 Research & Science, covering Load testing and Econometrics and empirical research. 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

  • The assumptions
  • Regularity conditions
  • Identification result
  • Asymptotic theory of a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) methodological paper are the bottleneck

Example prompts

  • “/joe-identification-strategy”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Identification
  2. Assumptions / regularity conditions
  3. Asymptotic theory
  4. Generality
  5. Proof exposition

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

Joe Identification Strategy loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 467 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
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 467 words (~1,065 tokens).

“At the Journal of Econometrics, "identification strategy" means the formal core: the assumptions under which the estimand is identified, the estimator is consistent, and inference is valid. The house norm is mathematical rigor — proofs and asymptotic derivations are expected…”
