Awesome Journal Skills is a collection of agent skill packs tailored to hundreds of academic journals across fields including economics, social science, medicine, science, and engineering. Researchers use the packs for tasks such as choosing topics, designing empirical strategies, preparing tables and figures, submitting papers, and responding to reviewers. The catalogue entries are the project's journal-specific skills and related plugins.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skillsnpx agentmods add skills/brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills/aejmac-writing-styleWrote this? Show the measurements
A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.01180 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00472 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00236 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00118 |
Grade A, and why
aejmac-writing-style 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Writing Style (aejmac-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The introduction leads with the model block or the estimator, not the macro question
- The abstract is over 100 words or buries the headline quantity
- A general macroeconomist cannot tell from page 1 what is measured and why it matters
- The prose is technically correct but the idea does not land
The AEJ: Macro writing bar
AEJ: Macro is broad-interest, so the writing must make the macro question and the headline quantity legible to a general macroeconomist early — before the DSGE notation or the SVAR machinery. Follow AEA house style (active voice, plain prose, quantities with units, standard errors / bands reported). The hard constraint to design around: the abstract is ≤100 words (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准) — far tighter than most economics journals — so every word in it must earn its place.
The AEJ: Macro introduction arc
- The macro question + headline quantity, in the first breath. "How much does a monetary tightening lower output?" — then the number with units and uncertainty, e.g., "we find a 100 bp shock lowers output by 0.6% (90% band [0.2, 1.0]) at its peak."
- Why it is hard. The identification or quantification obstacle (anticipation, simultaneity, short samples; or what disciplines the model).
- The approach. Data + design (SVAR/LP/narrative) and/or model (DSGE/HANK) — in one paragraph, after the question, not before it.
- The result restated with mechanism and uncertainty. What drives the number; carry the band into any counterfactual.
- Contribution + lesson with scope. What general macroeconomists learn; where it holds and where it does not.
- Brief roadmap. One or two sentences, not a section-by-section recital.
The ≤100-word abstract
- Sentence 1: the macro question.
- Sentence 2–3: the approach (one clause) and the headline quantity with uncertainty.
- Sentence 4: the mechanism or policy lesson.
- Cut: literature, method jargon, signposting. At ≤100 words there is no room for throat-clearing.
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.

aejmac-writing-style is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,264 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,180 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-15.
