jebo-writing-style

Use when a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) manuscript's prose buries the behavioral mechanism, or the abstract and introduction do not land for a pluralist behavioral audience. Shapes the mechanism-forward narrative and Elsevier-format front matter; it does not change the analysis.

# Writing Style (jebo-writing-style) ## When to trigger - The abstract describes what you did but not what agents *do* or *why* - The introduction reaches the behavioral mechanism only on page 4 - The paper reads as a method demonstration, not a behavioral finding - Prose toggles between psychology jargon and econ jargon without serving either audience - You are formatting the abstract/keywords/JEL and unsure of JEBO's limits ## The JEBO voice: mechanism-forward, audience-plural JEBO readers span behavioral theorists, experimentalists, organizational economists, and evolutionary modelers. The prose must make the **behavioral mechanism** the protagonist and stay legible across those communities. Lead with the human behavior and its economic consequence; introduce method as the means, not the message. A reliable intro arc for JEBO: 1. **The behavioral puzzle / regularity** (one paragraph): a way real agents deviate from the frictionless benchmark, and why it matters for markets, organizations, or institutions. 2. **What we did and the headline result** stated plainly and early (do not make the reader wait for the design section). 3. **The mechanism**: name the channel (image concern,

About this skill
What does the jebo-writing-style skill do?

Use when a Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization (JEBO) manuscript's prose buries the behavioral mechanism, or the abstract and introduction do not land for a pluralist behavioral audience. Shapes the mechanism-forward narrative and Elsevier-format front matter; it does not change the analysis.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jebo-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.
