jhe-writing-style
Use when the prose of a Journal of Health Economics (JHE) manuscript buries the question or the policy stakes — abstract, introduction, and the institutional setup. Shapes the writing so a health economist sees the contribution fast; it does not establish results or build exhibits.

# Writing Style (jhe-writing-style) ## When to trigger - The abstract states what you did but not what is new for health economics or why a policymaker should care - The introduction takes a page to reach the question - The institutional setup is missing, so the reader cannot judge whether the variation is credible - The paper reads as generic applied micro and could be about any market, not health ## The JHE voice JHE prose is **policy-relevant causal writing with institutional grounding**. The reader is a health economist who wants three things fast: the health-system question, the credible estimate, and the policy or welfare lesson. The house voice is precise and institutionally literate — it names the program, the payment rule, the market — not breezy and not a methods showcase. Because review is single-anonymized, you write as an identified author to a specialist audience; the goal is to make the contribution and its institutional credibility obvious, not to obscure scope. ## Where the writing must work hardest ### Abstract (1–7 keywords required; abstract length 待核实 — re-check the guide) - Sentence 1: the health-economics question and why it matters now. - Sentence 2: the set

What does the jhe-writing-style skill do?

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