Use when sharpening the "what is new and why it matters for macro/policy" claim of a Journal of Monetary Economics (JME) manuscript — turning a result into a first-order monetary-economics contribution that clears a single-blind, two-referee, "up or out" process.

# Contribution Framing (jme-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - The result exists but the "so what for monetary economics / policy?" is undersold - The abstract and intro list findings without a single sharp contribution claim - You need the pitch to survive a desk screen and convince two expert referees - You want the framing to justify an R&R invitation (the editor's ~50% publication-likelihood bar) ## Why framing is high-stakes at JME JME has a **distinctive selection funnel**. A first-round decision is **reject or revise-and-resubmit**, and editors invite a resubmission **only when they judge at least a 50% likelihood of ultimate publication** — so an R&R is a strong signal, and a sharp contribution claim is what tips a borderline paper into that bucket. The resubmission is then **"up or out"**: it ends in acceptance or rejection, with no second R&R round. Because review is **single anonymized** with a **minimum of two reviewers**, your framing has to convince specialists who can see your name and will judge the marginal contribution directly. The contribution should be legible to a macroeconomist or central banker, not just to the narrow sub-field. A JME contribution us

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jme-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 984 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.
