What it does
Jpe Robustness is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when the main result of a Journal of Political Economy (JPE) manuscript rests on a single specification and you need to pre-empt the alternative-explanation and fragility objections a Chicago referee will raise. Builds the robustness battery and the falsification logic; it does not establish the primary identification (see jpe-identification).
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.
The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
Example prompts
- “/jpe-robustness”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Specification robustness — the number is not an artifact of arbitrary choices.
- Mechanism discrimination — your channel, not a competing one, drives it.
- External / structural validity — the result generalizes / the model's conclusions are not knife-edge.
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 Robustness loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 494 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 494 words (~1,126 tokens).
“At JPE, robustness is not a ritual table of "still significant." It is an argument that the economic interpretation survives, and that rival mechanisms are ruled out. A Chicago referee thinks adversarially: which alternative economic story produces the same coefficient…”

How do I install Jpe Robustness in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add franklee16/academic-research-skills --skill jpe-robustness -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (Awesome-Journal-Skills-main/Journal-of-Political-Economy-Skills/skills/jpe-robustness in franklee16/academic-research-skills) into .claude/skills/jpe-robustness in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Jpe Robustness in Codex?
Run `npx skills add franklee16/academic-research-skills --skill jpe-robustness -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (Awesome-Journal-Skills-main/Journal-of-Political-Economy-Skills/skills/jpe-robustness in franklee16/academic-research-skills) into .agents/skills/jpe-robustness in your project.
