At a glance

A skill your agent uses when assembling the data, code, and verification materials for an Economic Policy (EP) manuscript so results are accessible and replicable to the journal's standard.

  • Assembling the data
  • SKILL.md covers When to trigger, EP's data standard: accessible…, What goes in the package and Handling restricted policy data, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Verification materials for an Economic Policy (EP) manuscript so results are accessible and replicable to the journals standard

What it does

Ecopol Replication Package is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when assembling the data, code, and verification materials for an Economic Policy (EP) manuscript so results are accessible and replicable to the journal's standard. Builds the verification-ready package; it does not invent evidence or citations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 and Citation management. 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

  • Assembling the data
  • Verification materials for an Economic Policy (EP) manuscript so results are accessible and replicable to the journals standard

Example prompts

  • “/ecopol-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

Ecopol Replication Package loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 591 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 (ecopol-replication-package)

When to trigger

  • Empirical, experimental, or simulation results need to be made accessible and replicable
  • Code is scattered across machines with hard-coded paths and no master script
  • Data are restricted/proprietary and you need a verification plan that still works
  • The Managing Editor / production process will ask for the datasets and programs underlying the figures
  • You want the package ready before the conference so a discussant can probe a number on the spot

EP's data standard: accessible and replicable, verified by the journal

EP's guidance is that "all empirical, experimental and simulation results should, where possible, be accessible and replicable," and authors submit the datasets, programs, and sources for the journal to verify and publish alongside the article (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准). EP does not (as of this writing) run the AEA-style mandatory pre-acceptance Data Editor audit that AEJ:EP / QE use, so the bar is "where possible" rather than universal — but a paper feeding a policy recommendation lives or dies on whether its central number can be reproduced. Build the package as if a skeptical discussant will re-run it. Confirm the exact deposit location, README format, and any embargo rules in the live guidelines (待核实).

What goes in the package

ComponentRequirement
Raw / source dataincluded if licensing allows; otherwise a precise acquisition guide
Cleaning codefrom raw to analysis dataset, one master script, no manual steps
Analysis codereproduces every number, table, and figure in the paper
Master scriptruns end-to-end with one command; relative paths only
READMEdata sources, software + versions, run instructions, expected runtime
Data citationseach dataset cited with provider, version, access date
Mappingexhibit → script → output (so a discussant can find any number fast)

Handling restricted policy data

EP papers often use confidential administrative or central-bank data. When you cannot deposit the raw data:

  • Provide the full code plus a synthetic or simulated dataset with the same structure so the pipeline runs end-to-end.
  • Document the exact access procedure (the agency, the application route, the version) so a determined replicator can obtain it.
  • Offer the journal a verification path (e.g., code run on-site, or output verified against a secure enclave) rather than nothing.
  • State the restriction openly in the data section — silence reads as evasion to a discussant.

Craft moves

  • One-command reproducibility. A reviewer should clone, run master, and get your exhibits. Hard-coded /Users/yourname/ paths are the most common failure.
  • Pin software versions. "Stata 18.0", "R 4.4.1 with fixest 0.12" — not "recent version".
  • Map every headline number to the line of code that produces it; the conference is live and you may be asked to show provenance.
  • Seed every simulation / bootstrap and report the seed.
  • Keep the package legible, not just runnable — a clear folder structure signals the same care the policy audience expects of the analysis.

Checklist

  • Master script runs end-to-end with one command, relative paths only
  • Every table/figure/number in the paper is reproduced by the code
  • README lists data sources, software + exact versions, run instructions, runtime
  • Restricted data handled: synthetic data + access guide + verification path
  • Each dataset formally cited (provider, version, access date)
  • Exhibit → script → output mapping included
  • Simulations/bootstraps seeded and the seed reported
  • Deposit location / README format confirmed against live guidelines (待核实)

Anti-patterns

  • Hard-coded absolute paths that break on any other machine
  • "Data available on request" with no code and no access procedure
  • A package that produces some but not all of the paper's numbers
  • Unpinned software versions, so the pipeline silently breaks on a newer release
  • Treating replication as a post-acceptance afterthought when a discussant may probe it at the conference
