What it does

Edmans Audit is an agent skill from aspi6246/Claude-Code-Skills-for-Academics. Audit a finance paper against Alex Edmans' "Learnings From 1,000 Rejections" (2025, Financial Management) three-part framework: Contribution, Execution, Exposition. Reads the paper's current LaTeX, applies the framework with per-research-question execution checks, and generates a structured report with severity-labeled findings. Use when the user says "edmans audit", "audit my paper", "run the Edmans check", "referee readiness", "submission audit", "check paper against Edmans", or "pre-submission check".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/edmans_framework.md`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Hypothesis generation. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Skills for academics.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says edmans audit
  • Run the Edmans check
  • Referee readiness
  • Submission audit

Example prompts

  • “Learnings From 1,000 Rejections”
  • “edmans audit”
  • “audit my paper”
  • “/edmans-audit”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Read the paper
  2. Apply the Edmans framework
  3. Generate the report
  4. Save and display

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a8f112. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Edmans Audit loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 572 words (~1,619 tokens).

“Applies Edmans' (2025) rejection-reasons framework to the current paper. Produces a dated report at Output/edmans_audit_YYYY-MM-DD.md.”
