jel-literature-synthesis — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited jel-literature-synthesis (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A JEL survey's credibility rests on the reader's belief that you read everything that matters. Build coverage systematically rather than from memory:
jel-classification-system) to catch work indexed under adjacent labels.jel-comprehensiveness-and-balance.Summarizing is restating each paper; synthesizing is making the papers talk to each other. Maintain an evidence matrix as you read:
| Column | What to capture |
|---|---|
| Study | author–year, the result you will cite it for |
| Question/estimand | exactly what it measures (so non-comparable studies are not pooled) |
| Method/data | design and sample (so you can weight credibility) |
| Finding | direction + magnitude (for who-found-what tables) |
| Quality/credibility | identification strength, sample, robustness — your appraisal, since JEL does not run new estimates |
| Tension | which other studies it agrees/conflicts with, and why |
This matrix is the raw material for the organizing framework, the summary tables, and the even-handed treatment of controversies. Crucially, you appraise primary studies (you are the field's referee-of-record); you do not re-estimate them.
【Seed set】<canonical + proposal references>
【Snowball status】backward/forward iterated to saturation? Y/N
【Databases swept】EconLit / RePEc / NBER / SSRN — by keyword + JEL code? Y/N
【Frontier + adjacency】recent WPs and bordering literatures included? Y/N
【Saturation evidence】<where searches stopped yielding new must-cites>
【Evidence matrix】rows ready with estimand / method / finding / appraisal / tension? Y/N
【Coverage risks】<any author/school an omission referee could name>
