jep-accessibility-and-translationUse when translating technical results, models, and methods into plain language for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article — minimizing jargon and notation without dumbing down. Handles language and translation of ideas; defer evidence/number presentation to jep-evidence-without-equations
jep-balance-and-objectivityUse when a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article must treat competing views and policy debates fairly — synthesis, not advocacy — and acknowledge uncertainty honestly. Audits balance and tone; defer evidence presentation to jep-evidence-without-equations and structure to jep-narrative-arc.
jep-editor-strategyUse when working with the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editorial team — the managing-editor-led model and the symposium structure — on scope, length, framing, and the invited/commissioned process. Handles editor interaction strategy; defer the final submission preflight to jep-submission a
jep-evidence-without-equationsUse when presenting empirical or theoretical evidence credibly in a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article with minimal math — intuition, examples, well-chosen numbers, and honest caveats. Handles how evidence is conveyed in prose; defer figures/tables to jep-exhibits-for-general-readers and
jep-exhibits-for-general-readersUse when designing figures and tables for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article aimed at a broad audience — clarity over density, self-explanatory exhibits. Handles exhibit design; defer prose evidence to jep-evidence-without-equations and overall structure to jep-narrative-arc.
jep-narrative-arcUse when structuring a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article as a story/argument for a general economist reader rather than a literature survey. Builds the essay's spine (hook → tension → synthesis → takeaways); it does not handle sentence-level voice or evidence presentation.
jep-proposal-and-symposiumUse when crafting a proposal to the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editors — a short article proposal or a symposium pitch — since JEP is largely invited and editor-organized. Builds the pitch and its contents; it does not write the full article or run the final submission preflight.
jep-revisionUse when responding to Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) editor feedback — accessibility, balance, length, and framing — on an invited or accepted article. Plans the revision and the reply to the editorial team; it does not draft the original article or run the submission preflight.
jep-submissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) proposal or manuscript — email-based submission, the accessibility bar, AEA front matter and disclosure, JEL codes, and open-access status. Final checks; it does not draft content.
jep-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a topic is right for the Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) — broadly interesting, timely, and synthesizable for non-specialists — rather than a narrow research contribution. Judges venue fit; it does not draft the article or the proposal.
jep-workflowUse when deciding which jep-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing work on an accessible synthesis article from topic idea through editor revision for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.
jep-writing-styleUse when revising sentence-level voice and the abstract/opening for a Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) article — engaging, clear, authoritative-but-readable, minimal notation. Polishes prose and front matter; defer structure to jep-narrative-arc and evidence framing to jep-evidence-without-equ
