What it does

Joe Workflow is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when deciding which joe- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript from methodological topic selection through revision rebuttal. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

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 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

  • Deciding which joe- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) manuscript from methodological topic selection through revision rebuttal

Example prompts

  • “/joe-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. joe-topic-selection — confirm a genuine methodological gap
  2. joe-literature-positioning — stake the contribution against the frontier
  3. joe-identification-strategy — assumptions, theorems, asymptotics, proof plan
  4. joe-data-analysis — Monte Carlo design + empirical illustration
  5. joe-contribution-framing — articulate the general lesson for econometrics
  6. joe-tables-figures — size/power tables and theory-illustrating figures
  7. joe-writing-style — make proofs legible; abstract + intro last
  8. joe-replication-and-data-policy — assemble code/data per Elsevier norms
  9. joe-review-process — pick the track; anticipate referees
  10. joe-submission — Editorial Express preflight (incl. fee proof)
  11. joe-rebuttal — after the revision request

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 Workflow loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 493 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
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 493 words (~1,076 tokens).

“This is the router. It tells you which joe-* skill to use at the current stage of a manuscript aimed at the Journal of Econometrics (JoE). Default assumption unless the user says otherwise: the target is JoE — an Elsevier…”
