jeea-robustness
Use when the headline result of a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript needs to be shown stable to specification, sample, inference, and (for theory) assumption perturbations. Organizes robustness around the actual threats a general-interest referee will raise; it does not design the main result.

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.
# Robustness (jeea-robustness) ## When to trigger - The main estimate moves when a referee imagines a different specification - Inference rests on assumptions (homoskedasticity, few clusters) you have not stressed - A theory result might hinge on one functional form or parameter range - You have a pile of "robustness tables" but no organizing logic ## The JEEA robustness bar A general-interest referee does not want a wall of extra columns — they want to know the **headline result survives the threats that matter**. Organize robustness by **threat to the claim**, not by "more specifications." Each robustness exhibit should answer a specific objection a JEEA referee would raise, and the headline magnitude should be **stable in sign and roughly in size** across the credible perturbations. Report everything as **standard errors / confidence sets, never significance asterisks**, and ensure every robustness check is reproducible for the **JEEA Data Editor** check. ## Robustness organized by threat | Threat to the claim | Robustness response | |---------------------|---------------------| | Omitted variables / selection | Oster (2019) δ and bounded bias; alternative controls; coefficient-

What does the jeea-robustness skill do?
Use when the headline result of a Journal of the European Economic Association (JEEA) manuscript needs to be shown stable to specification, sample, inference, and (for theory) assumption perturbations. Organizes robustness around the actual threats a general-interest referee will raise; it does not design the main result.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jeea-robustness --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.
