Aejmic Identification is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the question is what makes the result tight or what the data identify for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — covering both (a) structural/empirical-IO and experimental identification and (b) for pure theory, which assumptions drive the result and how robust the mechanism is. Stress-tests credibility; it does not build the model (see aejmic-theory-model).
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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, covering Load testing. 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.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Aejmic Identification loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 730 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/aejmic-identification/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).AEJ: Micro is theory-first, so "identification" here is two things. For pure theory it means: which assumptions are doing the work, and how tight/robust the mechanism is. For structural and experimental work it means the standard data-to-object mapping. Pick the branch.
The AEJ: Micro bar is that the reader sees exactly which assumption is load-bearing and how far the mechanism extends.

A matching paper proves stability is preserved under a new preference domain. A referee suspects it rides on a substitutability condition. The AEJ: Micro answer names it: "Substitutability is load-bearing — without it, Example 3 exhibits an empty core; with the weaker 'unilateral substitutes' condition the existence result survives but uniqueness fails." That sentence makes the result tight: the necessary assumption is named, and the cost of relaxing it is shown.

Aejmic Identification is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the question is what makes the result tight or what the data identify for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — covering both (a) structural/empirical-IO and experimental identification and (b) for pure theory, which assumptions drive the result and how robust the mechanism is.
Aejmic Identification fits situations like: the question is what makes the result tight; which assumptions drive the result and how robust the mechanism is.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aejmic-identification -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (AEJ-Microeconomics-Skills/skills/aejmic-identification in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/aejmic-identification in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Or copy the skill folder (AEJ-Microeconomics-Skills/skills/aejmic-identification in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/aejmic-identification in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aejmic-identification -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aejmic-identification, .gemini/skills/aejmic-identification, .github/skills/aejmic-identification and .opencode/skills/aejmic-identification in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Aejmic Identification is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Aejmic Identification is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
