At a glance
A skill your agent uses when the main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness, heterogeneity, mechanism, and placebo checks that AER referees will demand.
- Works in 3 steps: Robustness — does the result survive… → Heterogeneity — where does the effect… → Mechanism — why does X cause Y?
- The main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness
- SKILL.md covers Overview, When to Use, The Referee-Anticipating Battery and Specification Curve…, plus 10 more sections
- Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
What it does
Aer Robustness is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when the main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness, heterogeneity, mechanism, and placebo checks that AER referees will demand. Apply after aer-identification and before aer-introduction so that the value-added paragraph can reference these tests.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/robustness-menu.md`).
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…
When your agent uses it
- The main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness
- Placebo checks that AER referees will demand
Example prompts
- “/aer-robustness”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Robustness — does the result survive specification changes?
- Heterogeneity — where does the effect concentrate, and is that consistent with the proposed channel?
- Mechanism — why does X cause Y?
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
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
Aer Robustness loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,140 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); files beside SKILL.md 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 1,140 words (~2,509 tokens).
“A modern AER referee report contains three predictable demands:”
- name
- aer-robustness

Questions about Aer Robustness
What does Aer Robustness do?
A skill your agent uses when the main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness, heterogeneity, mechanism, and placebo checks that AER referees will demand. Aer Robustness is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when the main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness, heterogeneity, mechanism, and placebo checks that AER referees will demand.
When should I use Aer Robustness?
Aer Robustness fits situations like: the main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness; placebo checks that AER referees will demand.
How do I install Aer Robustness in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill aer-robustness -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/50-brycewang-aer-skills/skills/aer-robustness in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/aer-robustness in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Aer Robustness in Codex?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill aer-robustness -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/50-brycewang-aer-skills/skills/aer-robustness in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .agents/skills/aer-robustness in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Aer Robustness 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-robustness -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-robustness, .gemini/skills/aer-robustness, .github/skills/aer-robustness and .opencode/skills/aer-robustness in your project.
What does Aer Robustness need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Aer Robustness is instructions for the agent only.
Does Aer Robustness 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 Robustness 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. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Aer Robustness use?
Aer Robustness 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 Robustness use?
About 2.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k 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 3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
