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

  • Deciding which aejpol- sub-skill to invoke next
  • Sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript

Example prompts

  • “/aejpol-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. aejpol-topic-selection — lock the policy question + the welfare/cost-benefit stake
  2. aejpol-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. the policy-evaluation frontier
  3. aejpol-identification — credible quasi-experimental / RCT evaluation of the policy
  4. aejpol-theory-model — the framework that maps estimates to a welfare/policy object
  5. aejpol-robustness — sensitivity, threats, specification stability
  6. aejpol-tables-figures — exhibits without significance asterisks; a policy-relevant headline exhibit
  7. aejpol-writing-style — translate estimates into a clear policy takeaway (abstract + intro last)
  8. aejpol-replication-package — assemble the AEA-compliant deposit
  9. aejpol-referee-strategy — pre-empt the objections referees will raise
  10. aejpol-submission — AEA system preflight
  11. aejpol-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

Aejpol Workflow loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 679 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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: Policy Workflow Router (aejpol-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which aejpol- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at the American Economic Journal: Economic Policy (AEJ: Policy) — the American Economic Association's quarterly journal for the economic analysis OF policy. AEJ: Policy rewards a paper built around a clear policy question whose answer carries a welfare, cost-benefit, or distributional implication, identified credibly (quasi-experimental / RCT / applied theory) and reproducible to AEA standards. The policy question and its counterfactual are the through-line of every skill below.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AEJ: Policy. Operational tells that you are at AEJ: Policy and not a sibling: review is single-blind through the AEA submission system (the manuscript carries the title/byline/affiliations); JEL codes are required; the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor run a pre-publication reproducibility check on a deposit in the AEA Data and Code Repository (openICPSR); the bar is broad policy interest + credible causal evidence + a welfare/cost-benefit reading, not a field-public-finance bar (J. Public Economics) or an identification-for-its-own-sake bar (AEJ: Applied). Re-verify volatile specifics (submission fee, editors) on the official AEA pages — official AEA pages checked 2026-06-20.

When to trigger

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

Default order

  1. aejpol-topic-selection — lock the policy question + the welfare/cost-benefit stake
  2. aejpol-literature-positioning — stake the contribution vs. the policy-evaluation frontier
  3. aejpol-identification — credible quasi-experimental / RCT evaluation of the policy
  4. aejpol-theory-model — the framework that maps estimates to a welfare/policy object
  5. aejpol-robustness — sensitivity, threats, specification stability
  6. aejpol-tables-figures — exhibits without significance asterisks; a policy-relevant headline exhibit
  7. aejpol-writing-style — translate estimates into a clear policy takeaway (abstract + intro last)
  8. aejpol-replication-package — assemble the AEA-compliant deposit
  9. aejpol-referee-strategy — pre-empt the objections referees will raise
  10. aejpol-submission — AEA system preflight
  11. aejpol-rebuttal — after the R&R

aejpol-writing-style is a late-stage polish; do not rewrite the intro before identification/robustness settle.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating AEJ: Policy like J. Public Economics (field-only, no broad-interest policy framing) or AEJ: Applied (identification-driven applied micro with no policy question)
  • Deferring aejpol-replication-package to acceptance — the AEA Data Editor checks before publication
  • Letting aejpol-tables-figures polish exhibits while identification is still moving
  • Reporting a clean causal estimate with no welfare / cost-benefit / distributional reading — the AEJ: Policy "so what"

Routing by paper archetype

The bottleneck differs by how the policy is identified. Read the archetype, then enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
reform / law change (staggered)TWFE bias; modern DID; pre-trendsaejpol-identification
eligibility threshold / formulaRDD / bunching design + density testaejpol-identification
field experiment / RCT of a programestimand + pre-registration + welfare costaejpol-topic-selection → aejpol-identification
sufficient-statistics / structural welfaremapping reduced-form estimate to welfareaejpol-theory-model

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My estimate of a tax-credit expansion on employment is clean, but a referee says the paper 'has no policy point' and the welfare claim is hand-waved." Two AEJ: Policy pushbacks — no welfare/cost-benefit reading and takeaway not framed as a policy lesson — owned by aejpol-theory-model (the welfare mapping) and aejpol-writing-style (the takeaway). Route to aejpol-theory-model to turn the employment elasticity into a marginal-value-of-public-funds / cost-per-job number, then aejpol-writing-style for the policy sentence.
