What it does
Econ Intro Writing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Guide for writing the introduction to an academic economics paper. Use this skill whenever the user asks for help writing, drafting, revising, or structuring an introduction to an economics paper - whether empirical micro, development economics, applied economics, or related fields. Also trigger when the user mentions "intro," "introduction section," "opening paragraphs," or asks how to motivate, frame, or present their research question in a paper. This skill synthesizes best practices from David Evans (CGDev)…
Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k 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 Research & Science, covering Hypothesis generation and Econometrics and empirical research. 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 user asks for help writing
- Structuring an introduction to an economics paper - whether empirical micro
- Development economics
- Applied economics
Example prompts
- “intro,”
- “introduction section,”
- “opening paragraphs,”
- “/econ-intro-writing”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- The Motivation (1-2 paragraphs)
- The Research Question (1 paragraph)
- The Empirical Approach (1 paragraph)
- Detailed Results (3-4 paragraphs)
- Value-Added Relative to Related Literature (1-3 paragraphs)
- Optional Paragraphs
- Roadmap (1 paragraph)
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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
cgdev.orgblogs.ubc.camacromomblog.com
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
Econ Intro Writing loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,691 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 1,691 words (~3,069 tokens).
“You win or lose your readers with the introduction. Research shows that economics papers with more readable introductions get cited more. The introduction is where you lay out your research question, your empirical strategy, your findings, and why it all…”
