red-contribution-framing
Use when framing the marginal contribution of a Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) manuscript — stating the quantitative or dynamic advance in terms the SED readership values (a new mechanism, a new method, a new quantitative result, or model-disciplining evidence) and aligning the abstract and introduction around it.

# Contribution Framing for RED (red-contribution-framing) ## When to trigger - Distilling "what is new" before drafting the abstract and introduction - A paper with several results but no clear single advance - Translating a technical contribution into something the SED audience immediately grasps ## Framing a RED contribution RED rewards a sharp, **dynamic/quantitative** contribution. Pick the dominant type and lead with it: - **New mechanism** — a dynamic force (e.g., a feedback through expectations, distribution, or accumulation) that changes the model's predictions; show what turns it on and what it does to key moments. - **New method** — a solution, estimation, or computational technique that makes a class of dynamic models tractable or more accurate; show the gain over the prior state of the art. - **New quantitative result** — a calibrated/estimated model delivering a magnitude that matters for theory or policy; lead with the number and the moment it matches. - **Model-disciplining evidence** — empirical dynamics that pin down or refute a model element. State the contribution as a **delta against the closest existing model**, not as a description of the paper. Make the abstr

What does the red-contribution-framing skill do?
Use when framing the marginal contribution of a Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) manuscript — stating the quantitative or dynamic advance in terms the SED readership values (a new mechanism, a new method, a new quantitative result, or model-disciplining evidence) and aligning the abstract and introduction around it.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill red-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.
