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
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.01097 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00439 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00219 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00110 |
Grade A, and why
aejmic-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 — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Writing Style & the AEJ: Micro Intro Arc (aejmic-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The introduction opens with machinery (the model's notation, an estimator) instead of the question
- A reader cannot state your main result after the first page
- The abstract describes activities ("we study…") rather than the result
- Late-stage polish before submission (do this after the model and proofs settle)
The AEJ: Micro intro arc
A theory-first AEA journal rewards an introduction that makes a broad micro audience see the question and the result fast. The arc:
question / puzzle → model + equilibrium concept (in words) → main result (a proposition, stated in words) → what drives it / which assumption is doing the work → contribution & scope → brief roadmap.
- Open with the economic question, not the model. A non-specialist should grasp what is being asked in the first breath.
- State the result in words on page one — the proposition's content, not its proof. "We show that X, and this happens because Y."
- Name the driving force early (which assumption / mechanism delivers the result) — this is the AEJ: Micro reader's payoff and ties to
aejmic-identification. - Frame the contribution as a result with scope, including what it does not establish.
- The literature delta belongs here in one or two sentences (full treatment in
aejmic-literature-positioning), not a survey.
AEA house-style conventions
- Abstract: short and result-bearing; lead with the result, not the activity. (Confirm the current word limit on the AEA author page — volatile; 检索于 2026-06，以官网为准.)
- JEL codes and keywords required.
- Statistical presentation: for any empirical/experimental content, report standard errors / confidence sets, not significance asterisks.
- Notation discipline: define on first use; consistent throughout; avoid clutter.
- Proofs: key proofs self-contained in the paper (main text or appendix), not exiled to supplementary files.
- Single-blind note: AEJ: Micro review is single-blind (the referee sees the author), so the manuscript need not be anonymized — but acknowledgments and self-citations should still read professionally, not promotionally.
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.

aejmic-writing-style is a skill published in the GitHub repository brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills (1,289 stars, last pushed 26d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,097 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.
