jet-writing-style
Use when applying the Journal of Economic Theory (JET) house style to a manuscript — the Elsevier elsarticle theorem-proof format with definition/assumption/proposition/theorem/proof structure, disciplined notation, full references in the abstract, 250-word abstract, 1-7 keywords, optional Highlights, and author-year proof-stage references. For drafting and polishing JET prose; it does not check proofs.

# Writing Style (jet-writing-style) ## When to trigger - Drafting or polishing a JET theory manuscript - Converting a working paper into JET's elsarticle theorem-proof format - Tightening notation and statements before submission ## JET house style - **Typeset in LaTeX, Elsevier `elsarticle` class.** Source must be editable `.tex`; PDF is not accepted as a source file. Use proper theorem environments (`amsthm`): Definition, Assumption, Proposition, Lemma, Theorem, Corollary, Proof. - **Theorem-proof structure, not narrative-empirical.** Set up the environment and primitives, state assumptions, then results, then proofs (heavy ones to an appendix). The reader should be able to read every formal statement without hunting through prose. - **Notation discipline.** Introduce each symbol once, never reuse a symbol for two objects, keep the body and proofs identical. A notation table helps in long papers. - **References.** First submission can use any complete, consistent reference format. JET's proof-stage style is **name-year / author-year**; `elsarticle-harv` is the safest LaTeX default. **References cited in the abstract must be given in full.** Keep **unpublished results / personal c

What does the jet-writing-style skill do?
Use when applying the Journal of Economic Theory (JET) house style to a manuscript — the Elsevier elsarticle theorem-proof format with definition/assumption/proposition/theorem/proof structure, disciplined notation, full references in the abstract, 250-word abstract, 1-7 keywords, optional Highlights, and author-year proof-stage references.

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