Fine to try.

Use when judging whether a result is general, deep, and method-driven enough to belong in Econometrica, and when sharpening the contribution statement. Diagnoses fit and frames the contribution — it does not write proofs (use ecta-theory-model) or position against the literature (use ecta-literature-positioning).

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ecta-topic-selection' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ecta-topic-selection' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ecta-topic-selection already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '932eb23331721b16e967c59f093781be1928b498' -- 'Econometrica-Skills/skills/ecta-topic-selection' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'Econometrica-Skills/skills/ecta-topic-selection' ~/.agents/skills/'ecta-topic-selection' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ecta-topic-selection' ~/.claude/skills/'ecta-topic-selection' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
