jfi-workflow
Use when routing a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscript through its lifecycle — given where you are in the banking/intermediation paper pipeline, it names the next jfi-* skill to invoke and separates the theory-led path from the empirics-led path. It coordinates; it does not draft content.

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.
# JFI Workflow Router (jfi-workflow) ## When to trigger - "I'm writing a JFI paper — where do I start?" - You finished one stage and want the next jfi-* skill - You are unsure whether your project is theory-led or empirics-led at JFI ## What JFI is (orient first) Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) is an **Elsevier** journal (ISSN 1042-9573) on **banking, financial intermediation, and the economics of financial institutions and markets**. It publishes **both theory and empirics**: bank behavior, intermediary frictions, corporate finance, regulation, and related financial-economics topics. So the router first asks whether the paper's core contribution is a **model (theory)** or an **empirical design** — this changes how `jfi-identification-strategy`, `jfi-data-analysis`, and `jfi-replication-and-data-policy` are applied. ## Routing map | Where you are | Next skill | |---|---| | Choosing / sharpening the question | `jfi-topic-selection` | | Placing it against the intermediation frontier | `jfi-literature-positioning` | | Empirical causal design OR theory assumptions/proofs | `jfi-identification-strategy` | | Running bank/loan-panel analysis OR numerical examples | `jfi-data-ana

What does the jfi-workflow skill do?
Use when routing a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscript through its lifecycle — given where you are in the banking/intermediation paper pipeline, it names the next jfi-* skill to invoke and separates the theory-led path from the empirics-led path. It coordinates; it does not draft content.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jfi-workflow --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.
