What it does
Aeri Robustness is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which robustness checks belong in the few in-text words of an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript versus the online Supplemental Appendix. Triages checks against the length cap; it does not design the identification (see aeri-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. 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.

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 Robustness loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 609 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.

- aeri-robustness
- description
- Use when deciding which robustness checks belong in the few in-text words of an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript versus the online Supplemental Appendix. Triages checks against the length cap; it does not design the identification (see aeri-identification).
Robustness — Triage Against the Cap (aeri-robustness)
When to trigger
- The robustness section is sprawling and competing with the result for word budget
- You have ten checks and at most one or two can appear in-text
- A referee will ask for a check the short paper has no room to add in full
- Unsure what is load-bearing robustness vs. reassurance that can go online
The short-format robustness problem
A standard paper answers every threat in-text; AER: Insights cannot. With ≤7,000 words (minus 200 per exhibit, ≤5 exhibits), robustness must be triaged: keep in-text only the one or two checks that, if they failed, would kill the headline result, and move everything else to the Supplemental Appendix (which has no length cap but is read only by skeptics and the data editor). The skill is deciding the minimum credible set of in-text checks and signposting the rest in a single sentence.
The triage rule
For each candidate check, ask: "If a referee saw only the main text, would the absence of this check make them disbelieve the headline result?"
| Answer | Placement |
|---|---|
| Yes — it defends the core identifying assumption | In-text (1–2 max), often a single robustness exhibit or a sentence |
| No — it reassures but the result survives without seeing it | Supplemental Appendix, named in one in-text sentence |
| It is really an extension / new question | Appendix or a different paper, not "robustness" |
What usually earns an in-text slot
- The one check that directly tests the central identifying assumption (e.g., pre-trends for DiD, the donut/bandwidth for RDD, the exclusion falsification for IV).
- A single specification curve summary or a one-line "results are stable across N specifications (Appendix Table X)" rather than the full grid.
- For an experiment: the pre-registered primary outcome's robustness to attrition bounds.
What goes to the Supplemental Appendix
- Alternative bandwidths, functional forms, sample windows, fixed-effect structures
- Placebo tests beyond the single most informative one
- Heterogeneity splits (these are not robustness; they are extensions)
- Multiple-testing-adjusted versions, alternative clustering, leave-one-out
Signposting economically
Use one sentence to point to the appendix: "The result is robust to [list] (Supplemental Appendix Section X; Tables X1–X6)." This buys credibility for the price of a sentence and keeps the word budget for the insight. Reproduce nothing in-text that the sentence already covers.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)
Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map:
execution-with-mcp. AER: Insights is a short format built around one decisive result, so the body/appendix split is even tighter — run the design cleanly the first time.
- Many outcomes / specifications:
romano_wolf(step-down FWER, accounts for cross-test correlation) orbenjamini_hochberg— report the adjusted threshold. - OVB sensitivity:
oster_delta/sensemakr— the confounder strength that would overturn the headline. - Inference:
wild_cluster_bootstrap(few clusters),twoway_cluster/conley. - Re-fit off one handle:
audit_result(result_id)lists the missing checks and the exactsuggest_functionfor each — no guessing the battery. - Exhibits:
etable/did_summary_to_latexfrom the handle — no retyped numbers.
Keep the decisive checks in the body and the exhaustive (now actually-run) battery in the appendix. See the executed chain in the JF execution walkthrough.
Checklist
- Every candidate check classified by the triage rule
- ≤2 robustness items in-text, each defending the core assumption
- All other checks in the Supplemental Appendix, named in one in-text sentence
- Heterogeneity treated as extension (appendix), not in-text robustness
- In-text robustness fits within the five-exhibit budget shared with the result
- No significance asterisks; SEs / confidence sets reported
Anti-patterns
- A full in-text robustness section that blows the word/exhibit cap
- Reproducing the appendix robustness grid in the main text
- Treating heterogeneity splits as "robustness" to justify keeping them in-text
- Omitting the central-assumption check to save space (it must stay)
- No signpost to the appendix, leaving referees unsure the checks exist
Output format
【Core-assumption check (in-text)】<the 1–2 that must stay>
【Signpost sentence】"Robust to [list] (Suppl. Appendix §X, Tables …)."
【To the appendix】alt bandwidths / forms / placebos / heterogeneity / clustering
【Exhibit budget】in-text robustness uses __ of 5 exhibits
