qje-literature-positioning
Use when staking a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) manuscript's contribution against the frontier — what it builds on, what it overturns, and why it belongs in a general-interest journal. Positions the contribution; it does not write the full literature survey.

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.
# Literature Positioning (qje-literature-positioning) ## When to trigger - The contribution-relative-to-literature is fuzzy or buried - The intro lists references but never says what is *new* - A coauthor or reader asks "how is this different from [recent paper]?" - You are unsure which literatures the paper should speak to ## QJE positioning principle: contribution, not catalog QJE intros do **no

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