jet-data-analysis
Use when handling numerical, computational, or empirical content in a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper — JET is theory-first, so examples, simulations, and computed equilibria must stay subordinate to the theorem and reproducible.

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.
# Numerical & Computational Content (jet-data-analysis) ## When to trigger - Your theory paper includes a worked numerical example, a simulation, a computed equilibrium, or (rarely) empirical/experimental evidence - You want to know how much computational content JET will accept and how to present it - You need to keep a computation from overshadowing the theorem ## The JET rule: theory-first, computation subordinate JET publishes **rigorous, original theoretical results**. Empirical, experimental, quantitative, and computational work is welcome **only when firmly grounded in theory** — i.e., as the **illustration or test of a theoretical contribution that is itself the paper's point**, never as a stand-alone empirical or computational paper. This skill is deliberately **light**: most JET papers are pure theory, so the default is *minimal* numerical content. ## How to present numerical content - **Make it serve the theorem.** A numerical example should make an assumption bite, exhibit the characterized object, or show tightness of a bound — not stand alone as a finding. - **Keep examples small and transparent.** A 2x2 game, a two-type screening problem, or a three-agent matching ma

What does the jet-data-analysis skill do?
Use when handling numerical, computational, or empirical content in a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper — JET is theory-first, so examples, simulations, and computed equilibria must stay subordinate to the theorem and reproducible.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jet-data-analysis --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.
