Aejpol Referee Strategy is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when anticipating how AEJ: Economic Policy referees and editors will read a manuscript, before submission or before an R&R, to pre-empt the objections that sink policy-evaluation papers. Maps likely pushback to fixes and calibrates expectations; it does not write the response letter (see aejpol-rebuttal) or fix the identification.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Peer review. 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.
4 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.
Aejpol Referee Strategy loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 567 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/aejpol-referee-strategy/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).AEJ: Policy reviews are single-blind through the AEA system (referees see the authors; authors do not see referees), refereed by economists who expect both credible causal evidence and a policy-relevant welfare reading. A referee typically tests four things in order; a paper dies at the first one it fails:
aejpol-topic-selection test) — a clean estimate with no policy lever or welfare reading invites a "better suited to a field journal / AEJ: Applied" rejection.aejpol-identification test) — staggered TWFE, asserted parallel trends, a weak instrument, or an over-generalized RDD are the usual kill shots.aejpol-theory-model test) — a hand-waved "this is welfare-improving" or a sufficient-statistic formula whose assumptions are violated.aejpol-robustness / aejpol-replication-package tests).| Likely referee objection | Pre-emption to build before submitting |
|---|---|
| "This isn't a policy paper / not broad-interest" | Lead with the policy question + welfare stake; state the cost-benefit reading in the abstract |
| "Staggered TWFE is biased here" | Heterogeneity-robust DID + Bacon decomposition + flat leads, in the main paper |
| "Parallel trends is assumed, not shown" | Event-study leads + honest-DID bounds |
| "Exclusion restriction is not credible" | Institutional + theoretical defense + falsification |
| "The welfare claim is hand-waved" | Explicit sufficient-statistic / MVPF / cost-benefit derivation |
| "External validity is unclear" | Heterogeneity by setting; explicit scope of the policy lesson |
| "Effect is significant but tiny / not policy-relevant" | Benchmark the magnitude against budget / status quo |
| "Not reproducible / data unavailable" | AEA-compliant package + restricted-data access path ready |
An education-policy paper using a funding-formula RDD anticipates three objections: (1) "local estimate only" → states the estimand and argues the threshold population is the marginal policy population; (2) "manipulation at the cutoff" → CJM density test + donut RDD; (3) "no welfare reading" → translates the test-score effect into a cost-per-standard-deviation and compares to class-size policies. All three answers are in the main text, so no referee can raise them as fatal.
【Broad-interest verdict】would a referee call this a policy paper? [Y/N + fix]
【Top identification objection】+ main-text pre-emption
【Welfare-reading objection】derived or hand-waved? + fix
【Objection→answer map】[objection → exhibit/paragraph]
【Fix vs. disclose list】what to fix now / what to bound and disclose
