Repository instructions for a finance-focused literature-review project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when reviewing finance, economics or accounting research, including related-work sections, reading lists, literature matrices and research-gap summaries.
Why use it?
They keep finance research organized around reliable citations, publication status, study design and the limits of available information.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md.

This is azazhang/finance-literature-review-skill's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on finance-literature-review-skill itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything finance-literature-review-skill configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

finance-literature-review-skill CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 26d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Finance Literature Review Context

Use the finance literature review workflow when the user asks for:

  • a literature review,
  • related literature section,
  • annotated bibliography,
  • gap map,
  • journal-targeted reading list,
  • working-paper scan,
  • finance / economics / accounting research synthesis.

Dynamic Priorities & Venue Hierarchy

  • Core Finance: Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, Review of Financial Studies.
  • Subfield Leading Finance: JFQA, Review of Finance, Management Science (finance), RCFS, RAPS, JMCB, JCF, JBF.
  • Adjacent Top Economics: AER, QJE, JPE, Econometrica, ReStud when mechanisms, macro transmission, or identification strategies overlap.
  • Top Accounting: TAR, JAR, JAE, RAST, CAR when overlapping disclosure, earnings, auditing, or information environment.
  • Dynamic Working Paper Integration: Never automatically rank working papers at the bottom. Tier them into Tier 1 (NBER, CEPR, Central Banks, Top 3/5 R&Rs, AFA/WFA/NBER SI), Tier 2, and Tier 3. For frontier/emergent topics, Tier 1 working papers sit co-equal with Top 3 publications.
  • Systematic Discovery: Search SSRN FEN eJournals, NBER programs (CF, AP, ME), CEPR, Central Banks (FEDS, NY Fed, BIS, ECB), conference programs (AFA, WFA, EFA, NBER SI), RePEc/IDEAS NEP reports, and finance JEL codes (G1, G2, G3, M4, E4/E5).

Hard Rules & Abstract Quarantine

  • Never hallucinate citations or metadata.
  • Abstract Quarantine: Never infer identification strategies, fixed effects, clustering, or economic magnitudes from an abstract alone. If only the abstract is accessible, tag [Abstract-Only Provisional], preface statements with "Author claims in abstract (unverified): ...", and mark design fields unverified. Abstract-only papers cannot establish definitive intellectual ownership or settle research gaps.
  • 3-Anchor Introduction Protocol: Retrieve the Introduction (Paras 3–11) and baseline table notes to verify: (1) Setting & specific exogenous shock, (2) Quantitative magnitude, (3) Self-stated contribution relative to benchmark papers.
  • Intellectual Lineage: Distinguish Theoretical Originator $\rightarrow$ Empirical Landmark $\rightarrow$ Causal ID Benchmark $\rightarrow$ Boundary Reassessment.
  • Record both what a paper established and its boundary conditions (what it left open).
  • Prefer synthesis by mechanism, intellectual lineage, and identification strategy, not paper-by-paper summaries.
  • Capture granular empirical attributes: research question, primary dataset/infrastructure, sample period & filters, unit of observation, specific exogenous shock, fixed effects, clustering, main finding, mechanism, and limitations.
  • If only titles or abstracts are available, say so explicitly.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
