What it does

Aeri Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which aeri- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing work on a short-format manuscript from topic selection through the conditional-accept response for an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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 aeri- sub-skill to invoke next

Example prompts

  • “/aeri-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. aeri-topic-selection — confirm ONE crisp, important, well-identified insight that stands alone
  2. aeri-literature-positioning — stake the contribution in one or two paragraphs
  3. aeri-identification — make the design or parameter identification clean and self-contained
  4. aeri-theory-model — keep only the model the single insight requires
  5. aeri-robustness — the few in-text checks that matter; rest to the appendix
  6. aeri-tables-figures — at most five exhibits, no significance asterisks
  7. aeri-writing-style — lead with the result; enforce the word budget (abstract + intro last)
  8. aeri-replication-package — assemble the AEA-compliant data/code package
  9. aeri-referee-strategy — calibrate expectations for the fast, decisive process
  10. aeri-submission — AEA portal preflight (word count + exhibit count)
  11. aeri-rebuttal — after the conditional accept

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 Workflow loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 765 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

description
Use when deciding which aeri-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing work on a short-format manuscript from topic selection through the conditional-accept response for an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

AER: Insights Workflow Router (aeri-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It tells you which aeri- skill to use at the current stage* of a manuscript aimed at American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) — the AEA's short-format, general-interest journal (founded 2019) for papers built around ONE clear, important, well-executed idea, empirical, theoretical, or methodological. The bar is AER-level importance compressed into a short paper. AER: Insights is the short sibling of the American Economic Review (long, multi-result, flagship) and is general-interest, unlike the field-oriented full papers of the AEJ family.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, treat the target as AER: Insights. The two operational tells that you are at AER: Insights and not AER or an AEJ: (1) a hard length cap — main text ≤7,000 words with no exhibits, minus 200 words per exhibit, maximum five exhibits, abstract ≤100 words — papers over the cap are returned unreviewed; (2) a single insight must carry the whole paper, with everything secondary pushed to the online Supplemental Appendix. Process tells: AEA single-blind review that is fast and decisive — no traditional revise-and-resubmit; first decisions are conditional accept or reject, and conditional accepts (usually an 8-week window) are normally not sent back to referees. Editor as of 2026: Matthew Gentzkow (lead editor beginning January 2024; founding editor Amy Finkelstein). Live-check volatile specifics on the official AEA pages.

When to trigger

  • The user asks "what should I do next?"
  • A draft is over the word/exhibit cap or is sprawling into multiple results
  • Work is ping-ponging between the core result, framing, exhibits, and the response letter
  • An AER: Insights decision letter (conditional accept or reject) arrived

Default order

  1. aeri-topic-selection — confirm ONE crisp, important, well-identified insight that stands alone
  2. aeri-literature-positioning — stake the contribution in one or two paragraphs
  3. aeri-identification — make the design or parameter identification clean and self-contained
  4. aeri-theory-model — keep only the model the single insight requires
  5. aeri-robustness — the few in-text checks that matter; rest to the appendix
  6. aeri-tables-figures — at most five exhibits, no significance asterisks
  7. aeri-writing-style — lead with the result; enforce the word budget (abstract + intro last)
  8. aeri-replication-package — assemble the AEA-compliant data/code package
  9. aeri-referee-strategy — calibrate expectations for the fast, decisive process
  10. aeri-submission — AEA portal preflight (word count + exhibit count)
  11. aeri-rebuttal — after the conditional accept

aeri-writing-style is a late-stage polish, but the word cap is a constraint from day one — track it throughout, not at the end.

Anti-patterns

  • Treating AER: Insights like a short AER: keeping a second and third result instead of cutting to one
  • Letting aeri-tables-figures polish a sixth exhibit that should not exist
  • Skipping aeri-replication-package until acceptance — the AEA Data Editor checks before publication
  • Planning for a multi-round R&R that AER: Insights does not offer

Routing by paper archetype

The single insight differs by archetype; enter the chain at the right link.

ArchetypeLikely first bottleneckEnter at
one clean causal estimate (DiD / RDD / IV / experiment)is the design credible AND is it a single headline number?aeri-topic-selection → aeri-identification
a sharp theoretical result / impossibilityis the model minimal and the result surprising?aeri-theory-model
a methodological point with one applicationdoes the method change a substantive answer in few pages?aeri-identification → aeri-robustness
a striking new fact / measurementis the fact important enough to stand alone, and robust?aeri-topic-selection → aeri-robustness

Worked routing example (illustrative)

A user says: "My field experiment has a clean main effect, but I also estimated three heterogeneity splits and a structural extension, and the draft is 9,500 words." That is the canonical AER: Insights problem — one good insight buried under a multi-result, over-cap paper. Route first to aeri-topic-selection to confirm the single headline effect is the paper, then aeri-robustness and aeri-tables-figures to move the heterogeneity and the structural extension to the Supplemental Appendix, then aeri-writing-style to land the draft under the 7,000-word (minus exhibits) cap.

Minimal decision snippet

if decision_letter_arrived:          -> aeri-rebuttal
elif ready_to_submit:                -> aeri-submission
elif over_cap_or_too_many_exhibits:  -> aeri-tables-figures / aeri-writing-style
elif robustness_sprawling:           -> aeri-robustness
elif model_bloated:                  -> aeri-theory-model
