jfqa-contribution-framing
Use when framing the contribution of a Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) paper — write the strict one-paragraph abstract of no more than 100 words and an introduction that states what is new in finance terms, so the quantitative contribution lands within JFQA's tight abstract cap and high selectivity.

# JFQA Contribution Framing (jfqa-contribution-framing) Use this skill to state the contribution of a **JFQA** manuscript crisply — the journal is highly selective (prints **< 9%** of 1,000+ annual submissions) and imposes an unusually strict abstract limit. ## The 100-word abstract (hard constraint) JFQA requires the abstract to be **one paragraph of no more than 100 words** — tighter than most finance/economics flagships. Make every word count: - One sentence on the question and why it matters in finance. - One or two sentences on the data/design (sample, identification). - One or two sentences on the headline quantitative result, **with a number** (basis points, alpha, elasticity, magnitude per one-SD change). - One sentence on the broader implication for the subfield. - No citations, no equations, no filler. Stay at or under 100 words. ## The introduction contribution paragraph - Lead with the question and the answer; do not bury the result. - State the contribution against the closest rivals (see jfqa-literature-positioning). - Make the **economic magnitude** explicit and the mechanism clear. - Preview the design and the key exhibit. ## Anti-patterns - An abstract over 100 wor

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