jape-literature-positioning
Use when positioning a Journal of Applied Econometrics (JAE) manuscript against prior work — applied-econometrics precedent, the methods you apply, and JAE's own corpus and Data Archive of replicable papers. Frames the gap as an application/replication advance under JAE's citation-style-agnostic Free Format.

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.
# Literature Positioning for JAE (jape-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - Drafting or revising the related-work framing for a JAE paper - Deciding which methodological and applied precedents to foreground - Making sure your positioning reflects JAE's emphasis on replicable applied work ## Position on two axes at once JAE values an **application on real data** that advances or rigorously tests a technique. Position simultaneously on: 1. **Method lineage** — cite the econometric technique(s) you apply or extend, and the canonical references for the estimator/inference you use. Make clear what you adopt unchanged vs. adapt. 2. **Applied / substantive lineage** — cite prior empirical work on the same question or data, and say precisely what your application adds: new data, a new design, more credible inference, a resolved puzzle. Because JAE runs a **Replication Article** track and a Data Archive of ~1,487 datasets, its culture rewards engagement with **prior replicable evidence**. If your result revisits a published finding, position relative to that paper's archived data/code and state whether you confirm, qualify, or overturn it. ## Free Format and references JAE accepts r

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jape-literature-positioning --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 909 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.
