What it does

Aejmac Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which aejmac- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) submission

Example prompts

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. aejmac-topic-selection — lock the broad-interest macro question
  2. aejmac-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. the macro frontier
  3. aejmac-identification — SVAR / LP / narrative / IV credibility (empirical branch)
  4. aejmac-theory-model — calibration / structural-estimation discipline (quantitative branch)
  5. aejmac-robustness — show the headline number is not fragile
  6. aejmac-tables-figures — IRFs, fan charts, model-fit exhibits done right
  7. aejmac-writing-style — make the idea land (abstract + intro last; ≤100-word abstract)
  8. aejmac-replication-package — assemble the AEA-compliant data/code/simulation package
  9. aejmac-referee-strategy — pre-empt the objections macro referees raise
  10. aejmac-submission — AEA system preflight
  11. aejmac-rebuttal — after the R&R

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. 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.

    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

Aejmac Workflow loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 786 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

AEJ: Macro Workflow Router (aejmac-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which aejmac- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) — the American Economic Association's quarterly, broad-interest macro journal (founded 2009; one of four AEJs). AEJ: Macro rewards papers that bring quantitative discipline and policy relevance to a substantive macro question across growth, business cycles, monetary and fiscal policy, labor-macro, international macro, and macro-finance.

The defining feature of AEJ: Macro is methodological breadth: it publishes both quantitative-theoretical work (DSGE, heterogeneous-agent, structural estimation, calibrated models) and identified-empirical work (SVAR, local projections, narrative identification, micro-data macro). A paper does not have to be one or the other — the bar is that whichever tool you use, the mapping from model/data to the macro conclusion is disciplined.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AEJ: Macro. Operational tells that you are at AEJ: Macro and not a field-macro or general-interest sibling: submission via the AEA submission system; a membership-scaled submission fee (member/nonmember × income tier; 检索于 2026-06,以官网为准); single-blind external review managed by the editor/coeditors; JEL codes required; the AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber) runs a pre-publication reproducibility check — covering simulation and calibration code, not only regression scripts — with materials deposited at the AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR. Editor as of 2026: Ayşegül Şahin (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). Re-verify volatile specifics on the official AEA pages.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?"
  • A draft needs its current bottleneck diagnosed
  • Work is ping-ponging between model/estimation, identification, framing, writing, and the response letter
  • An AEJ: Macro decision letter arrived and the user needs to switch into revision mode

Ready to submit via the AEA system; need a preflightaejmac-submission

Default order

  1. aejmac-topic-selection — lock the broad-interest macro question
  2. aejmac-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. the macro frontier
  3. aejmac-identification — SVAR / LP / narrative / IV credibility (empirical branch)
  4. aejmac-theory-model — calibration / structural-estimation discipline (quantitative branch)
  5. aejmac-robustness — show the headline number is not fragile
  6. aejmac-tables-figures — IRFs, fan charts, model-fit exhibits done right
  7. aejmac-writing-style — make the idea land (abstract + intro last; ≤100-word abstract)
  8. aejmac-replication-package — assemble the AEA-compliant data/code/simulation package
  9. aejmac-referee-strategy — pre-empt the objections macro referees raise
  10. aejmac-submission — AEA system preflight
  11. aejmac-rebuttal — after the R&R

aejmac-identification and aejmac-theory-model are siblings, not a strict order: an empirical paper leans on the former, a quantitative paper on the latter, and a hybrid paper visits both. aejmac-writing-style is a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before the headline number settles.

Anti-patterns

  • Skipping aejmac-replication-package until acceptance — the AEA Data Editor verifies before publication, and for macro this includes simulation/calibration code, not just data cleaning
  • Letting aejmac-tables-figures polish IRFs while the identification or calibration is still moving
  • Treating AEJ: Macro like a field outlet (J. Monetary Economics / RED) — the bar is broad macro interest plus AEA process, not just technical correctness for specialists
  • Choosing a method (DSGE vs. SVAR vs. LP) before deciding what the paper must measure — let the question pick the tool

Routing by paper archetype

AEJ: Macro spans several macro branches, and the bottleneck differs by branch. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
empirical shock-identification (monetary/fiscal)SVAR / narrative / proxy-VAR credibilityaejmac-identification
dynamic-effects estimationlocal-projection specification + inferenceaejmac-identification → aejmac-robustness
quantitative DSGE / HANKcalibration targets + parameter identificationaejmac-theory-model
structural estimationwhat data moments identify each parameteraejmac-theory-model → aejmac-robustness
model + evidence hybriddoes the model match the identified empirical responseaejmac-identification + aejmac-theory-model

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My HANK model matches the data, but a referee says my monetary-shock series is not credibly exogenous and the consumption response is not robust to the lag length." That is two distinct AEJ: Macro pushbacks — identification of the shock (owned by aejmac-identification, narrative/high-frequency branch) and fragility of the dynamic response (owned by aejmac-robustness). The model side (aejmac-theory-model) only matters once the empirical target it is matched to is credible. Route to identification first; once the shock and the response settle (say the peak MPC-driven consumption response stabilizes at 1.4%, 90% CI [0.9, 1.9], illustrative), return to aejmac-tables-figures and aejmac-rebuttal.
