jel-classification-system
Use when assigning JEL classification codes to a Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) survey and relating the survey to the JEL code taxonomy that the journal itself maintains. Explains and applies the codes correctly; it does not write prose (jel-writing-style) or run the submission preflight (jel-submission).

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# JEL Classification System (jel-classification-system) ## When to trigger - The survey is drafted and you must assign JEL classification codes for submission - You are unsure how many codes, at what level, or in what order to list them - You want the survey's *scope* to map cleanly onto the JEL taxonomy a reader uses to find it - You are reasoning about which JEL category the field you are surveying actually sits in ## What the JEL classification system is (and why JEL owns it) The **JEL classification system** is the American Economic Association's subject taxonomy for economics, *maintained by the Journal of Economic Literature itself* and used across EconLit and most economics journals. A survey for JEL therefore has a dual relationship with the codes: it must be **indexed** by them like any paper, and — because JEL is the system's steward — a well-scoped survey often *corresponds to* one or a small set of categories that define its field. **Structure (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准):** - **Three levels.** A single **letter** (20 top categories), a **two-digit** subcategory (e.g. `J2`), and a **three-character** detailed code (e.g. `J24`). - Assign **detailed three-character codes** for a s

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jel-classification-system --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.
