What it does
Aeri Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript to lead with the result, fit the hard word cap (7,000 words minus 200 per exhibit), and write the ≤100-word abstract. Enforces the length budget and the lead-with-the-result arc; it does not change the analysis.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. 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
- Revising an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript to lead with the result
- Fit the hard word cap (7
- 000 words minus 200 per exhibit)
- Write the ≤100-word abstract
Example prompts
- “/aeri-writing-style”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Sentence 1–2: the question and the headline result with its magnitude and uncertainty (estimate + SE / confidence set), no asterisks.
- Sentence 3–4: why it matters / the prior it overturns (the surprise).
- One short paragraph: how it is identified (the design or the model's key restriction), in plain terms.
- One sentence: the single most important robustness/scope caveat, with a pointer to the appendix.
- Brief roadmap or none — the paper is short enough that heavy signposting wastes words.
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 Writing Style loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 498 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.

Writing Style — Lead With the Result, Fit the Cap (aeri-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The intro buries the headline result under setup, literature, or methods
- The draft is over the word cap and needs cutting, not just polishing
- The abstract exceeds 100 words or does not state the result
- Late-stage polish once identification, robustness, and exhibits have settled
The two hard constraints (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)
- Word cap: main text ≤7,000 words with no exhibits; each exhibit subtracts 200 words; ≤5 exhibits (so ≥6,000 at the cap). The count includes body, footnotes, endnotes, and in-paper appendices; it excludes title, authors, abstract, acknowledgement footnote, references, exhibits, and the Supplemental Appendix. Over the cap = returned unreviewed.
- Abstract: ≤100 words. It must state the result, not promise it.
Treat the cap as a design constraint from the first draft, not a final trim. Every sentence competes with the insight for space.
The AER: Insights arc (lead with the result)
Unlike a long paper that builds to its result, an AER: Insights paper states the answer in the first paragraph:
- Sentence 1–2: the question and the headline result with its magnitude and uncertainty (estimate + SE / confidence set), no asterisks.
- Sentence 3–4: why it matters / the prior it overturns (the surprise).
- One short paragraph: how it is identified (the design or the model's key restriction), in plain terms.
- One sentence: the single most important robustness/scope caveat, with a pointer to the appendix.
- Brief roadmap or none — the paper is short enough that heavy signposting wastes words.
The body then delivers exactly that arc: setup (tight), identification, result, the one or two checks, a short discussion. No second result, no survey, no extended derivations in-text.
Show full SKILL.md (217 more words)Show less
Cutting to the cap (in priority order)
- Cut secondary results to the Supplemental Appendix (
aeri-robustness). - Compress the literature to one or two paragraphs (
aeri-literature-positioning). - Move proofs/derivations and estimation detail to the appendix (
aeri-theory-model). - Delete throat-clearing ("It is well known that…", over-signposted roadmaps).
- Merge exhibits to reclaim 200 words each (
aeri-tables-figures). - Tighten prose last — shorter sentences, fewer hedges, active voice.
Writing the ≤100-word abstract
- State the result with its magnitude, the setting, and the identification in one breath.
- No literature, no "we examine"; say what you found.
- Verify the count; 100 words is a hard ceiling.
Checklist
- First paragraph states the headline result with magnitude + SE/CI (no asterisks)
- Main text under 7,000 − 200×(#exhibits) words (counted per AEA scope rules)
- Abstract ≤100 words and states the result
- One idea only in-text; secondary material in the Supplemental Appendix
- Literature compressed to ≤2 paragraphs; no in-text survey
- No significance asterisks/boldface anywhere
- Roadmap minimal or absent; throat-clearing removed
Anti-patterns
- A long build-up that reveals the result only in Section 4
- Trimming prose while leaving a second result in-text (cut the result first)
- An abstract over 100 words, or one that promises rather than reports
- Counting the word budget only at the end and discovering you are 2,000 over
- AER-length signposting in a short paper
Output format
【First paragraph】states result + magnitude + SE/CI? [Y/N]
