About this skill
What does the rje-writing-style skill do?

Use to make a manuscript conform to The RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) Style Guide — author-date citations with no page numbers, references with no issue numbers, numbered sections with unnumbered subsections, flush-right equation numbering, and the journal's distinctive house usage rules. Style and usage polish, not content drafting.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill rje-writing-style --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.
