What it does

Jpe Referee Strategy is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when running a pre-submission pre-mortem on a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) manuscript to anticipate the price-theory, general-equilibrium, and identification objections a Chicago referee will raise. Builds the threat list and pre-empts it; it does not write the R&R response (see jpe-rebuttal).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • Running a pre-submission pre-mortem on a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) manuscript to anticipate the price-theory
  • General-equilibrium
  • Identification objections a Chicago referee will raise

Example prompts

  • “/jpe-referee-strategy”

Workflow steps

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

  1. "Where is the economics?" — A reduced-form result with no model/mechanism. Pre-empt: jpe-theory-model — state the mechanism and the…
  2. "This ignores general equilibrium." — A partial effect that nets out when prices/quantities adjust. Pre-empt: address GE feedback; bound…
  3. "Your mechanism vs. the obvious alternative." — A rival economic story produces the same sign. Pre-empt: jpe-robustness — a discriminating…
  4. "Selection / endogeneity." — Treatment or sample is endogenous. Pre-empt: jpe-identification — defend the assumption, show falsification.
  5. "What identifies the parameter?" (structural) — Pre-empt: explicit "what identifies what" + untargeted-moment validation.
  6. "So what?" — credible but unimportant. Pre-empt: jpe-topic-selection — state the portable lesson and magnitude.
  7. "Internal inconsistency." — the model's assumption contradicts the empirical setting, or two claims conflict. Pre-empt: a consistency pass…

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 Referee Strategy loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 577 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 577 words (~1,221 tokens).

“JPE referees read the paper as an economic argument and probe its internal consistency. The prototypical Chicago referee asks: does this respect optimization, prices, incentives, and equilibrium? They are unimpressed by a clean coefficient with no economic meaning, and they…”
