Use to test whether a research question fits The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) — the flagship industrial-organization journal with a deliberately narrow applied-microeconomics scope (regulated industries, antitrust/competition, market structure, firm strategy, the economics of organizations).

What does the rje-topic-selection skill do?
Use to test whether a research question fits The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) — the flagship industrial-organization journal with a deliberately narrow applied-microeconomics scope (regulated industries, antitrust/competition, market structure, firm strategy, the economics of organizations). Screens fit before you invest in a full draft.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill rje-topic-selection --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.
