jleo-robustness
Use when organizing robustness and sensitivity checks for a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) manuscript — structuring checks by the institutional/organizational threat each one defuses (selection into governance, reform endogeneity, measurement of institutional constructs, alternative mechanisms). Organizes the robustness program; it does not establish primary identification (jleo-identification).

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.
# Robustness Strategy (jleo-robustness) ## When to trigger - The main result holds but a referee will ask "is this an artifact of the sample / specification / measurement?" - The robustness section is a mechanical appendix list ("Table A1–A8") with no threat each addresses - The institutional measure (asset specificity, governance form, judicial independence) is a proxy whose validity is questionable - An alternative mechanism could produce the same pattern and is not yet ruled out - The estimate is sensitive to clustering, controls, or the treatment-timing window ## Robustness as threat-defusal at JLEO JLEO referees — institutional and organizational economists — do not reward a wall of robustness tables. They reward a robustness program **organized by the specific threats to the institutional claim**. For each headline result, name the threats, then show the check that defuses each. The institution-specific threats cluster as follows: | Threat to the institutional claim | The check that defuses it | |-----------------------------------|---------------------------| | Selection into the governance form / institution | IV / selection model / matching robustness; bound the selection

What does the jleo-robustness skill do?
Use when organizing robustness and sensitivity checks for a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) manuscript — structuring checks by the institutional/organizational threat each one defuses (selection into governance, reform endogeneity, measurement of institutional constructs, alternative mechanisms). Organizes the robustness program; it does not establish primary identification (jleo-identification).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jleo-robustness --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.
