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 (jbf-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The introduction lists papers but does not state the gap - The paper risks being seen as "another setting" rather than a contribution - You need to route citations across banking, finance, regulation, and adjacent economics literatures ## Positioning logic JBF referees expect the paper to know the finance frontier. Positioning should therefore compare the manuscript with the closest papers on question, mechanism, data, and design, not with a broad topical survey. 1. **Identify the closest 5-8 papers** and state what each establishes. 2. **Separate literature families**: banking/intermediation, corporate finance, market microstructure/asset pricing, regulation, and method/design papers. 3. **State the delta**: new mechanism, better identification, new measurement, broader setting, sharper policy implication, or theory-to-evidence bridge. 4. **Explain why the delta matters for JBF readers**: bank behavior, credit allocation, market functioning, regulation, or investor outcomes. 5. **Avoid novelty by omission**: if a paper is close, cite it early and explain the difference directly. ## Standard contribution par

What does the jbf-literature-positioning skill do?
Use when positioning a Journal of Banking & Finance manuscript against banking, intermediation, corporate finance, investments, regulation, and capital-market literatures so the contribution is precise rather than a generic finance literature review.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jbf-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.
