What it does
Aer Consistency is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when auditing a finished or near-finished AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript for internal consistency: headline numbers across abstract, introduction, results, and tables; sample sizes; log-point and percentage-point conversions; cross-references; and in-text-citation/bibliography matching. Apply after the body and exhibits exist, before aer-referee-sim and aer-submission.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/audit-checklist.md` and `scripts/audit_manuscript.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management and Experimental design. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

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

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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
Aer Consistency loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,162 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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,162 words (~2,627 tokens).
“Referees and editors run cheap integrity checks before engaging with ideas: does the abstract's number appear in the tables? Do the Ns add up? Does "Table 4" exist? Does every citation resolve? A single mismatch reframes the entire report from…”

When should I use Aer Consistency?
Aer Consistency fits situations like: auditing a finished; near-finished AER; AEJ manuscript for internal consistency: headline numbers across abstract; log-point and percentage-point conversions.
How do I install Aer Consistency in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill aer-consistency -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/50-brycewang-aer-skills/skills/aer-consistency in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/aer-consistency in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Aer Consistency in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill aer-consistency -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/50-brycewang-aer-skills/skills/aer-consistency in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/aer-consistency in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Aer Consistency in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill aer-consistency -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aer-consistency, .gemini/skills/aer-consistency, .github/skills/aer-consistency and .opencode/skills/aer-consistency in your project.
What does Aer Consistency need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Aer Consistency needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Aer Consistency access the network?
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.
Is Aer Consistency safe to install?
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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
What licence does Aer Consistency use?
Aer Consistency has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Aer Consistency use?
About 2.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2.2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Aer Consistency?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Aer Consistency: Academic Writing (wentorai/Research-Claw, 858 stars), Research Paper Writing (RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop, 177 stars), Consistency Checker (franklee16/academic-research-skills, 223 stars) and Reader First Technical Edit (lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills, 847 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
