geb-topic-selection
Use when judging whether a game-theory result is the right fit and scale for Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) — does it advance the frontiers of game theory and its applications? Tests the idea against GEB's specialist-but-general-interest bar before the paper is built out.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Topic Selection (geb-topic-selection) ## When to trigger - You have a model or experiment but are unsure it is "GEB-sized" - The result is correct but feels incremental over a known theorem - You are deciding between GEB and a field outlet (theory, behavioral, CS/EC venue) - A referee or colleague said "true, but so what?" ## The GEB fit bar GEB is the **leading specialist game-theory journal** and an official journal of the **Game Theory Society** (Elsevier; founded 1989 by Ehud Kalai; chief editor Hervé Moulin since 2021). The defining test is not general-economics policy interest — it is whether the work **significantly advances the frontiers of game theory and its applications**. The scope is deliberately broad across **methods**: equilibrium theory, mechanism and market design, behavioral game theory, learning and dynamics, and experimental/empirical work — and broad across **fields** that use game theory: economics, political science, biology, computer science, mathematics, and psychology. The audience is a general game-theory readership, so the contribution must be legible and interesting beyond one narrow sub-literature. Selectivity is explicit and high: about **one-third

What does the geb-topic-selection skill do?
Use when judging whether a game-theory result is the right fit and scale for Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) — does it advance the frontiers of game theory and its applications? Tests the idea against GEB's specialist-but-general-interest bar before the paper is built out.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill geb-topic-selection --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
