jet-contribution-framing
Use when framing the contribution of a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper so its theoretical advance is unmistakable — lead with the theorem, state why the result matters for the relevant theory, and right-size the claim to exactly what the proof delivers. For JET's theory-first bar; it does not overclaim.

# Contribution Framing (jet-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - Writing the abstract and introduction of a JET theory paper - A desk editor must see the theoretical contribution within the first page - You need to make sure the claim does not exceed the proof ## What JET rewards JET accepts a paper because it is a **rigorous, original theoretical contribution**. Framing must put the **theorem first** and make its significance legible to the matching editor and two expert referees. A JET introduction is not a story arc around data — it is a precise statement of *what is now known that was not before*. ## The framing template 1. **The question, theoretically posed.** What property of mechanisms / equilibria / preferences / markets is at stake? 2. **The result, stated as a theorem.** One sentence the abstract can carry: "We characterize / prove that / show existence of ...". Because **abstract references must be written in full**, cite at most one or two anchor results there. 3. **Why it matters.** Which prior result it weakens an assumption of, generalizes, or overturns — the delta from jet-literature-positioning. 4. **What it does *not* claim.** Name the scope (finite types,

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jet-contribution-framing --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 984 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.
