Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.
-
thedixitjain Skill Cpa IdentificationUse when the research design is the bottleneck for a 《中国行政管理》 manuscript — choosing and stress-testing a quantitative, qualitative, or normative design and matching it to the research question. Stress-tests the design before drafting exhibits; does not write the policy implications. 本技能服务于《中国行政管理》(Chinese Public Administration, CPA)。
2 - thedixitjain Skill Wp Topic Selection
Use when deciding whether a project fits World Politics and whether it should be a research article or a review article. World Politics is a comparative-politics + international-relations specialist, so the test is a substantive question that travels across cases or systems — not subfield novelty, and not a single-case description. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Cps Data Analysis
Use when running and reporting the analyses for a Comparative Political Studies (CPS) manuscript — estimation, uncertainty, robustness, and multi-method triangulation on comparative data. Sets analysis norms; it does not choose the identification strategy (see cps-research-design).
2 - thedixitjain Skill Conbio Reporting And Data Policy
Use when preparing the data-availability statement and the data/code archive for a Conservation Biology manuscript. The journal (Wiley/SCB) requires a data-availability statement for research/synthesis articles, encourages data sharing, and requires sensitive species data to be protected. Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Curranthro Transparency And Data
Use when handling research ethics, consent, community accountability, and data/transparency for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript — informed consent, anonymization, protection of vulnerable interlocutors, heritage and repatriation obligations, and what (and what NOT) to share, plus the Wenner-Gren copyright assignment. At CA this is an ethics-and-accountability skill; protecting people can override sharing data. Plans the ethics and transparency; it does not grant waivers.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Acr Institutional Standards
Use when writing or verifying the institutional / accounting-standard / regulatory background for a 《会计研究》 (Accounting Research) manuscript — getting standard clauses, regulatory rules, and effective dates exactly right, since precise institutional detail is a defining bar of this journal. Use before measurement and identification.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Annals Of Internal Medicine
Use when targeting Annals of Internal Medicine (Ann Intern Med) or deciding whether an internal medicine or clinical-evidence manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Arecon Literature Synthesis
Use when systematically gathering, reading, and synthesizing a body of economic research for an Annual Review of Economics (ARE) review — coverage discipline and avoiding citation gaps. Builds the evidence corpus and synthesis notes; it does not impose the analytical spine (arecon-organizing-framework) or appraise study credibility (arecon-evidence-standards).
2 - thedixitjain Skill Business Management Journal
Use when targeting 《经济管理》(Business Management Journal — 中国社会科学院工业经济研究所主办的工商管理学术月刊, 不收费) or deciding whether a Chinese management manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, fee-free policy, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Games And Economic Behavior
Use when targeting Games and Economic Behavior (GEB) or deciding whether a game-theory manuscript or its application fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Hlr Thesis And Contribution
Use when articulating the central legal claim and normative payoff of a Harvard Law Review (HLR) piece so it reads as an original contribution, not a doctrinal survey. Forges the thesis; it does not search for preemption (hlr-preemption-check) or build the argument's internal structure (hlr-argument-structure).
2 - thedixitjain Skill Interspeech Reproducibility
Use when hardening the reproducibility of an INTERSPEECH paper — pinning corpus versions and official splits, publishing text-normalization and scoring rules that WER/EER silently depend on, documenting MOS listening-test protocols, reporting seeds and variance within 4 pages, and making toolkit recipes rerunnable.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Interspeech Topic Selection
Use when deciding whether a project belongs at INTERSPEECH, the ISCA flagship speech conference, or should be routed to ICASSP, ASRU/SLT, Odyssey, SSW, ACL/EMNLP, or a speech journal — testing whether spoken language is the contribution, matching subfields to the reviewer pool, and choosing between the 4-page and Long Paper tracks.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Jde Identification Strategy
Use when the causal identification strategy is the bottleneck for a Journal of Development Economics (JDE) manuscript — RCT/field experiment, DID, IV, RDD in low- and middle-income settings. Stress-tests the design against development-economics empirical norms before tables are drafted.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Jep Balance And Objectivity
Use 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.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Jet Identification Strategy
Use when hardening the assumptions, results, and proof architecture of a Journal of Economic Theory (JET) paper — the theory analogue of an identification strategy. Make every assumption explicit and load-bearing, architect the proof so two expert referees can verify it, and defend the generality/tractability trade-off; for JET, "identification" means assumption sets and proof exposition, not a causal design.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Jfi Identification Strategy
Use when auditing the core analytical engine of a Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) paper — for empirics, the causal design that separates credit supply from demand in banking data; for theory, the assumptions, equilibrium discipline, and proof exposition. It pressure-tests the design; it does not run the analysis.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Jhr Identification Strategy
Use when stress-testing causal identification for a Journal of Human Resources empirical-micro manuscript, including RCT, DID, RDD, IV, event studies, decompositions, policy shocks, and reconciliation with prior estimates.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Joe Identification Strategy
Use when the assumptions, regularity conditions, identification result, and asymptotic theory of a Journal of Econometrics (JoE) methodological paper are the bottleneck. Stress-tests the formal core — what is assumed, what is proved, and how general it is — before tables are drafted.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Journal Of Health Economics
Use when targeting Journal of Health Economics (JHE) or deciding whether a health-economics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Journal Of Membrane Science
Use when targeting Journal of Membrane Science or deciding whether a membranes / membrane-process manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the transport-and-separation-mechanism bar, membrane characterization rigor, house style, the mechanism-vs-application routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Journal Of Public Economics
Use when targeting Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) or deciding whether a public-economics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Jpart Transparency And Data
Use when preparing the data and replication materials for a Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript. JPART requires authors, where ethically possible, to publicly release all data and software code as a condition of publication, with a mandatory Data Availability Statement. Prepares the package; it does not waive requirements.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Laser And Photonics Reviews
Use when targeting Laser & Photonics Reviews or deciding whether a laser-physics / photonics review or original-research manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the synthesis-and-significance bar, review and original-research rigor, house style, the review-vs-primary-research routing, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Mw Institutional Background
Use when drafting or revising the institutional-background section of a Management-World manuscript, when the China policy timeline is unclear, or when reviewers ask for stronger institutional context.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Nature Machine Intelligence
Use when targeting Nature Machine Intelligence (Nat Mach Intell) or deciding whether an AI, ML, or robotics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Npj Computational Materials
Use when targeting npj Computational Materials (npj Comput. Mater.) or deciding whether a computational or data-driven materials manuscript fits this open-access Springer Nature venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
nwave-ai Skill Nw Diverger Review CriteriaReview criteria for the nw-diverger-reviewer — validates JTBD rigor, research quality, option diversity, taste application correctness, and recommendation coherence in DIVERGE wave artifacts
- thedixitjain Skill Organization And Management
Use when targeting 《组织与管理》(Organization and Management) — a specialised organization-studies venue — or deciding whether a Chinese organization/management manuscript fits it. CAUTION — the most clearly identifiable journal of this exact title is published by the Taiwan Academy of Organization and Management, so confirm the intended venue before submitting. Encodes fit, framing, theory-building bar, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Respol Contribution Framing
Use when the one-sentence "so what" is the bottleneck for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — converting solid results into an explicit advance for innovation theory/evidence that usually carries a policy or managerial implication. Frames the claim; it does not build the mechanism (respol-theory-development) or polish prose (respol-writing-style).
2 - thedixitjain Skill Review Of Economic Dynamics
Use when targeting Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) or deciding whether a quantitative-macro / dynamic-economics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

Use when targeting 《政治经济学评论》(China Review of Political Economy — 教育部主管、中国人民大学书报资料中心主办、人大经济学院主编的政治经济学 CSSCI 季刊) or deciding whether a Chinese social-science/econ/management manuscript fits this journal. Applies the journal's theoretical framing, house-style, official-submission-check (crpe.ruc.edu.cn), and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Rje Identification Strategy
Use when the identification or estimation strategy is the bottleneck for a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) industrial-organization manuscript — structural demand/supply, entry and dynamic games, auctions, or reduced-form designs off mergers and regulation. Stress-tests the design to the IO-flagship bar before tables are drafted.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Science Research Management
Use when targeting 《科研管理》(Science Research Management — 中国科学院科技战略咨询研究院主办的科研/创新管理月刊, 1980 年创刊) or deciding whether a Chinese R&D/innovation-management manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, abstract/keyword house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 - thedixitjain Skill Ylj Thesis And Contribution
Use when sharpening the central legal-scholarly claim and contribution for a The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) piece. It forces a falsifiable, generalist thesis and names the contribution type; it does not search prior literature (use ylj-preemption-check) or build the argument (use ylj-argument-structure).
2 - thedixitjain Skill Jpube Replication And Data Policy
Use when assembling data and code for a Journal of Public Economics (JPubE) manuscript under Elsevier's Option C research-data framework — data-availability statements, repository deposit/citation/linking, restricted administrative data, and a reproducible package. It does not run the analysis.
