# Writing Style for JAE (jape-writing-style) ## When to trigger - Writing the summary (abstract), keywords, and front matter for a JAE paper - Checking the manuscript against JAE's specific formatting conventions - Resolving how to handle references when no house style is mandated ## JAE's specific style rules - **Summary (abstract): no more than 100 words.** It must be understandable without reference to the rest of the paper and **contain no citations** — state the finding plainly and cut every reference. - **Up to six keywords.** **Title without abbreviations.** - **Numbered sections/subsections.** - **Conflict-of-interest statement required.** - **Acknowledgments must not thank the anonymous reviewers** (review is single-blind). - **References: any consistent style.** JAE accepts references "in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript," reinforced by **Free Format** first submission — pick one style, apply it uniformly, and do not stall on a template. ## Prose register for applied econometrics Write so results are **transparent and replicable**: state the estimand, estimator, inference, and data plainly; report numbers with their standard error

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