What it does

Jpe Identification is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when the empirical identification strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) manuscript — quasi-experimental designs (DID, IV, RDD, event study) or structural estimation. Stress-tests the design and its economic interpretation before drafting tables; it does not write the model from scratch (see jpe-theory-model).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Experimental design. 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

  • Structural estimation
  • Tasks that involve Load testing
  • Tasks that involve Experimental design

Example prompts

  • “/jpe-identification”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Credible identification — the estimate isolates the causal/structural object you claim.
  2. Economic interpretation — the estimate maps onto a parameter or margin that economic theory cares about. A credibly identified effect with…

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

Jpe Identification loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 659 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 659 words (~1,467 tokens).

“JPE accepts both reduced-form and structural work, but the bar has two parts that must both clear:”
