resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md for opening-page structure.resources/exemplars/library.md for benchmark style and verified examples.resources/code/README.md for methods-oriented simulation or replication smoke checks.resources/official-source-map.md before any deadline, fee, page-limit, proof-placement, or policy claim.Never answer a volatile submission question from memory. If the source map marks a fact unresolved, say so and recheck the official page before advising a final submission.
Pause the route and repair before moving forward if:
| Gate | Pass condition | Skill that repairs failure |
|---|---|---|
| Fit gate | Leading case plus applied value both stated in one sentence each | ectj-topic-selection, ectj-contribution-framing |
| Theory gate | Target object, assumptions, and asymptotic claims traceable; proofs printable | ectj-identification-strategy |
| Evidence gate | Every asymptotic claim paired with a finite-sample exhibit; one DGP calibrated to the application | ectj-data-analysis |
| Compression gate | Printed paper within the 20-page norm; summary within 150 words | ectj-writing-style, ectj-tables-figures |
| Conformance gate | Template, fee, proof placement, and replication disclosure verified on live pages | ectj-submission |
| Post-decision gate | Response evidence objects assembled; resubmission clock tracked | ectj-rebuttal, ectj-review-process |
A later gate never compensates for an earlier one: polished exhibits cannot rescue a paper whose method lacks an empirical use case at this venue.
Illustrative vignette: an author arrives with a machine-learning-assisted estimator for demand elasticities, strong theory, no application, and 28 draft pages.

one DGP to a public scanner-data application.ectj-writing-style only after the application exists, because the application will consume
pages and the compression plan must account for it.Ordering principle: repair applied value before the page budget, and the page budget before portal mechanics.
Keep these EctJ constants loaded while routing, reverifying volatile ones on live pages:

npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin ectj-skillsRoutes manuscript work from topic selection to rebuttal for an Econometrica paper. Invokes specialized sub-skills based on the current stage: vague idea, weak literature positioning, incomplete proof, or referee reports.
Routes an Econometric Theory manuscript through the theorem-proof lifecycle, from topic selection to rebuttal. Invoke when unsure which step comes next.
