What it does

Expecon Replication Package is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when assembling the data, code, instructions, and experiment software for an Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscript to meet the ESA reproducibility standard. Builds the deposit; it does not run the analysis or draft prose.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Reproducible research. 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
  • Experiment software for an Experimental Economics (ExpEcon) manuscript to meet the ESA reproducibility standard

Example prompts

Workflow steps

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

  1. Instructions — the exact instructions subjects received, per treatment, in the original language (translation if relevant). These are…
  2. Experiment software — the z-Tree .ztt treatment files or the oTree app (full project, settings.py, requirements pinned). Include…
  3. Raw data — session-level exports as collected (z-Tree .xls/.sbj, oTree CSV), with a codebook for every variable and the…
  4. Analysis code — scripts (Stata/R/Python) that run from raw to results with a single master file; set and record the random seed for any…
  5. README — repository map, software versions, run order, expected runtime, and a table mapping each exhibit in the paper to the script that…
  6. Pre-registration / PAP link — the registry entry and timestamp; for a Registered Report, the in-principle-acceptance Stage-1 protocol.
  7. Ethics / consent — IRB approval reference and the consent procedure (and the explicit no-deception statement).

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

Expecon Replication Package loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 629 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 (expecon-replication-package)

When to trigger

  • You are preparing to submit and must attach participant instructions (required at submission) and a data/code appendix
  • The ESA Data and Replication Policy deposit (trusted repository) is not yet assembled
  • z-Tree / oTree code, raw session data, and analysis scripts are scattered and not runnable end-to-end
  • A referee or editor asks whether someone could reproduce your numbers and re-run your experiment

What ExpEcon reproducibility actually requires

Experimental Economics is an ESA journal, and since 2021 the ESA Data and Replication Policy requires authors to deposit, in a trusted online repository, the materials needed to reproduce or replicate the study (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). Reproducibility here is stronger than at most economics journals because it has two layers:

  • Reproduce the analysis — raw data + cleaning + analysis code regenerate every table and figure.
  • Replicate the experiment — instructions + experiment software let another lab re-run the study.

Treat the package as a deliverable engineered for both.

The deposit, component by component

  1. Instructions — the exact instructions subjects received, per treatment, in the original language (translation if relevant). These are required at submission, not just at acceptance; reviewers read them to check for deception and comprehension.
  2. Experiment software — the z-Tree .ztt treatment files or the oTree app (full project, settings.py, requirements pinned). Include screenshots or the comprehension quiz as run. This is what makes re-running possible.
  3. Raw data — session-level exports as collected (z-Tree .xls/.sbj, oTree CSV), with a codebook for every variable and the session/treatment/matching-group identifiers.
  4. Analysis code — scripts (Stata/R/Python) that run from raw to results with a single master file; set and record the random seed for any simulation/permutation test.
  5. README — repository map, software versions, run order, expected runtime, and a table mapping each exhibit in the paper to the script that produces it.
  6. Pre-registration / PAP link — the registry entry and timestamp; for a Registered Report, the in-principle-acceptance Stage-1 protocol.
  7. Ethics / consent — IRB approval reference and the consent procedure (and the explicit no-deception statement).

Repository and hygiene

  • Deposit in a trusted, persistent repository (OSF, Harvard Dataverse, Zenodo, or OpenICPSR are commonly used by ESA authors) and cite the DOI in the paper.
  • Anonymize subject identifiers; never include payment records with identifying info.
  • Pin every dependency and software version; a package that does not run on a clean machine fails the policy.
  • Match repository contents to the paper exactly — no stale scripts, no figures the code cannot produce.

A workable directory layout

/instructions    treatment_A.pdf, treatment_B.pdf (+ translations)
/software         ztree/  *.ztt    OR   otree/  (full app, requirements.txt)
/data/raw         session exports as collected (.xls/.sbj or .csv)
/data/clean       analysis-ready files built by /code
/code             00_master.* , 01_clean.* , 02_analysis.* , 03_figures.*
/output           tables + figures regenerated by /code
README.md         map, versions, run order, exhibit→script table
ETHICS.md         IRB ref, consent text, no-deception statement

The single rule the policy enforces in spirit: a stranger with a clean machine runs 00_master and gets your paper's exact numbers, and another lab opens /software and /instructions and re-runs your experiment.

The two-layer self-test

  1. Reproduce: delete /data/clean and /output, run the master script, confirm every table/figure regenerates byte-for-byte (or value-for-value for stochastic steps with a fixed seed).
  2. Replicate: hand /software + /instructions to a colleague who was not on the project and confirm they can launch a session and understand what subjects faced.

Checklist

  • Participant instructions (all treatments, original language) included at submission
  • z-Tree .ztt / oTree app deposited so the experiment can be re-run
  • Raw session data + codebook + session/group/treatment IDs present
  • Master analysis script runs raw→results; seeds set for simulation/permutation
  • README maps every table/figure to the script that generates it; versions pinned
  • Pre-registration / PAP (or Stage-1 RR protocol) linked with timestamp
  • Trusted-repository DOI cited; data anonymized; IRB + no-deception statement included

Anti-patterns

  • Promising the package "on request" or only at acceptance — ESA expects a real deposit, and instructions are due at submission
  • Depositing data but not the z-Tree/oTree code, so the experiment cannot be replicated
  • A "replication package" whose scripts do not reproduce the paper's exact numbers
  • Unpinned software versions / no seed, so permutation tests and figures are not reproducible
  • Identifiable subject data or payment records left in the repository
