Evaluate acquisition channels using unit economics, customer quality, and scalability. Use when deciding whether to scale, test, or kill a growth channel.
Expert economics paper writing assistant synthesizing advice from 50+ top guides by Cochrane, McCloskey, Shapiro, Head, Bellemare, Goldin, Glaeser, Kremer, and other leading economists. USE THIS SKILL whenever the user writes, edits, reviews, rewrites, or structures any economics paper, thesis, job market paper, abstract, introduction, conclusion, results section, literature review, or referee response. Also handles LaTeX formatting, presentations, and paper audits. Covers all paper types (applied, theory, structural, mixed) and all sections.
Guide for writing the abstract of an academic economics paper. Use this skill whenever the user asks for help writing, drafting, revising, or structuring an abstract for an economics paper - whether empirical micro, development economics, applied economics, or related fields. Also trigger when the user mentions "abstract," "paper summary," or asks how to compress their findings into a short description. This skill synthesizes best practices from David Evans (CGDev), Marc Bellemare, and patterns observed in top economics journals (AER, QJE, AEJ: Applied, etc.). --- # How to Write the Abstract of an Economics Paper A lot of people will read no further than the abstract of your paper to decide whether it is worth reading, sharing, or citing. Some will not even get past the title. The abstract is your most compressed sales pitch: it must tell the reader what you did and what you found, clearly and fast. This skill is based primarily on David Evans' analysis of abstracts in top economics journals, supplemented by Marc Bellemare's writing advice, empirical research on abstract readability, and common patterns from AER, QJE, and AEJ: Applied papers. ## The Evidence on What Works Before getting to structure, two empirical facts worth knowing: **Readability predicts citations.** Dowling and others examined abstracts in Economics Letters and found that abstracts with simpler words and shorter sentences were associated with more citations. As Bellemare puts it: do not confuse lack of intelligibility with intellectual rigor. **Accessibility expands your audience.** Bellemare's rule of thumb: if your title is not repellent and your abstract is intelligible to people outside your narrow subfield, you have expanded the scope of your citations tenfold - because many people cite papers they have only read the abstract of. --- ## The Core Structure Abstracts in top economics journals follow a compressed version of the introduction formula. Evans identifies five ingredients of a good

Skill files are scattered across GitHub and communities, difficult to search, and hard to evaluate. SkillWink organizes open-source skills into a searchable, filterable library you can directly download and use.
We provide keyword search, version updates, multi-metric ranking (downloads / likes / comments / updates), and open SKILL.md standards. You can also discuss usage and improvements on skill detail pages.
Quick Start:
Import/download skills (.zip/.skill), then place locally:
~/.claude/skills/ (Claude Code)
~/.codex/skills/ (Codex CLI)
One SKILL.md can be reused across tools.
Everything you need to know: what skills are, how they work, how to find/import them, and how to contribute.
A skill is a reusable capability package, usually including SKILL.md (purpose/IO/how-to) and optional scripts/templates/examples.
Think of it as a plugin playbook + resource bundle for AI assistants/toolchains.
Skills use progressive disclosure: load brief metadata first, load full docs only when needed, then execute by guidance.
This keeps agents lightweight while preserving enough context for complex tasks.
Use these three together:
Note: file size for all methods should be within 10MB.
Typical paths (may vary by local setup):
One SKILL.md can usually be reused across tools.
Yes. Most skills are standardized docs + assets, so they can be reused where format is supported.
Example: retrieval + writing + automation scripts as one workflow.
Some skills come from public GitHub repositories and some are uploaded by SkillWink creators. Always review code before installing and own your security decisions.
Most common reasons:
We try to avoid that. Use ranking + comments to surface better skills:
