What it does

Aeri Replication Package is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when assembling the data and code deposit for an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Builds the package and README; it does not run the analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Econometrics and empirical research, Reproducible research and Technical documentation. 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

  • Tasks that involve Econometrics and empirical research
  • Tasks that involve Reproducible research
  • Tasks that involve Technical documentation

Example prompts

  • “/aeri-replication-package”

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

Aeri Replication Package loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 619 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

Replication Package — AEA Data Editor Ready (aeri-replication-package)

When to trigger

  • A conditional accept is likely or in hand and the deposit is not assembled
  • Unsure what the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy requires
  • Results were produced ad hoc and cannot yet be regenerated by one script
  • Restricted/proprietary data raise an access question for the data editor

The AEA reproducibility regime (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准)

AER: Insights enforces the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy, administered by the AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber). Before publication, authors deposit data, code, and documentation sufficient to permit replication of every result in the paper and approved appendices in the AEA Data and Code Repository (openICPSR); the data editor's team verifies reproducibility before the paper is published. The short format does not shrink this requirement — the Supplemental Appendix results are in scope too. Build the package as you go, not after the conditional accept, because the verification step is a gate to publication.

What the package must contain

  • All code to go from raw (or provided) data to every table, figure, and in-text number, organized and runnable.
  • Data that are non-exclusive to the authors; where data are restricted, provide access instructions and the code that would run on them, plus a clear restricted-data statement.
  • A master script (run/00_master) that regenerates every exhibit end-to-end.
  • A README following the AEA/Social Science Data Editors README template: data sources and provenance, file-by-file description, computational requirements (software + versions), instructions to reproduce, and a mapping from each exhibit to the code that produces it.
  • Seeds set and reported for any simulation, bootstrap, or randomization inference.
  • Disclosure of data citations and a data availability statement.

Short-paper specifics

  • Exhibit-to-code map is small but must be complete — five exhibits plus the appendix; every in-text number too.
  • Online appendix is in scope. Material you pushed out of the main text to fit the cap (aeri-robustness, aeri-theory-model) must still be reproducible.
  • Keep a clean separation: data/raw (read-only) → code → output; see ../../resources/code/ for a runnable skeleton.

Timing relative to the fast review

Because AER: Insights decisions are conditional accept or reject with no traditional R&R (aeri-referee-strategy), a conditional accept moves quickly to the data-editor stage. There is no long revision phase in which to build the package retroactively. Have the deposit essentially ready at submission, so a conditional accept does not stall on reproducibility. The data editor's check is a gate to publication, not a formality — non-reproducible code delays or blocks the paper regardless of the editor's decision.

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A fictional staggered-DiD paper has five exhibits and a dozen appendix tables. The package contains a 00_master script that runs 01_clean → 02_descriptive → 03_did_modern → 08_robustness → 09_tables, regenerating Figures 1–2 and Tables 1–3 plus every appendix table, with seeds set in the bootstrap step. The README maps "Figure 1 ← code/03_did_modern.do, lines 40–80" and lists Stata 18 with pinned csdid/reghdfe versions. The restricted payroll extract is described with an application link and the exact code that would run on it. This is what passes the AEA Data Editor on the first pass.

Checklist

  • One master script regenerates every exhibit and in-text number
  • README per the AEA/SSDE template: sources, file list, requirements, exhibit→code map
  • Data non-exclusive, or a restricted-data statement + access instructions + runnable code
  • Software and package versions pinned; seeds set and reported
  • Supplemental Appendix results reproducible too (in scope)
  • Deposit prepared for the AEA Data and Code Repository (openICPSR)
  • Data citations and availability statement included

Anti-patterns

  • Assembling the package only after the conditional accept (verification is a publication gate)
  • A README missing the exhibit→code mapping or version information
  • Excluding appendix results from the reproducible set
  • Hard-coded paths, unset seeds, or manual steps the master script does not capture
  • Treating "short paper" as exempting any result from reproducibility

Output format

【Master script】regenerates all exhibits + in-text numbers? [Y/N]
【README】sources / file list / versions / exhibit→code map present? [Y/N]
【Data status】public deposit / restricted (statement + access + code)?
【Seeds & versions】set and pinned? [Y/N]
【Appendix in scope】appendix results reproducible? [Y/N]
【Deposit target】AEA Data and Code Repository (openICPSR)
【Next step】aeri-referee-strategy (or aeri-submission if submitting)
