What it does

Jle Replication Package is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when assembling the data and code package for a The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) manuscript to satisfy the journal's replication policy — data, programs, and computation details available for replication before publication. Builds the deposit and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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, Database administration and Technical documentation. 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

  • Computation details available for replication before publication
  • Tasks that involve Econometrics and empirical research
  • Tasks that involve Database administration

Example prompts

  • “/jle-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

Jle Replication Package loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 848 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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 & JLE Data Policy (jle-replication-package)

When to trigger

  • The paper is empirical (or has simulations/experiments) and you are heading toward acceptance, or want to build the package early
  • An R&R or conditional acceptance asks you to prepare the data + code deposit
  • You need to write the README and a data-availability statement to JLE standard
  • Some data are restricted (sealed court records, proprietary firm data) and you must plan the deposit around that

Why this matters at JLE

JLE's stated policy is to publish empirical/simulation/experimental papers only if the data are clearly and precisely documented and readily available to any researcher for replication, and authors of accepted papers must provide the data, programs, and other computation details sufficient to permit replication, prior to publication (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准; verify on journals.uchicago.edu/journals/jle/data-policy). This is a pre-publication requirement, not an acceptance-day formality. JLE does not run the AEA-style openICPSR pipeline; the obligation is documentation and availability — so build a package any researcher could re-run, and treat it as a gate, not a chore. Law-and-economics data raise distinctive access issues (court records, sealed cases, regulatory filings, proprietary market data) that you must plan for explicitly.

What the package must contain

ComponentRequirement
Data filesAll data used to produce the results, documented; or, for restricted data, a precise access path
Analysis + transformation codeEvery script from raw legal/regulatory data → cleaned data → each table/figure
Master scriptOne run_all that regenerates every exhibit from the inputs
READMEData sources and provenance, computational requirements, run instructions, and an exhibit-to-code map
Data-availability statementProvenance and access terms for each dataset (court system, agency, vendor), stated in the paper
Legal-data documentationHow statutes/cases were coded, the coding protocol, and inter-coder checks for hand-coded doctrine
  • Sealed court records, individual case files, and proprietary market data often cannot be redistributed. Deposit all code regardless, and document the exact access procedure (court/agency/vendor, application steps, cost, approximate wait, any data-use agreement).
  • Provide a synthetic or public extract so the code runs and a verifier can check the logic where the real data cannot be shared.
  • For hand-coded legal variables (a damages-cap index, a liability-standard classification), deposit the coding protocol, the source documents list, and inter-coder reliability so the measurement is reproducible.
  • Flag any restricted-data or exemption situation early in the process, not at the pre-publication check.

Reproducibility hygiene (build as you go)

  • Pin versions: Stata version + recorded ssc/net package versions; requirements.txt/conda env (Python); renv.lock (R).
  • Set and report seeds for every simulation, bootstrap, and randomization/permutation step.
  • No absolute paths — one root macro/variable; relative paths thereafter.
  • Exhibit-to-code map in the README: Table 2 → code/05_did.do, Figure 1 → code/06_event_study.R, etc.
  • Run it clean on a fresh checkout before depositing.

Adapt the vendored skeleton in ../../resources/code/ (master script → clean → descriptive → DiD/IV/RD → mechanism → robustness → tables) as the package backbone.

Checklist

  • One run_all master script regenerates every table and figure from the inputs
  • All data documented and available (or restricted-data access path fully documented + synthetic extract provided)
  • README with complete exhibit-to-code map and computational requirements
  • Data-availability statement for every dataset, with provenance and access terms
  • Hand-coded legal variables: coding protocol + sources + inter-coder reliability deposited
  • Software/package versions pinned; seeds set and reported; no absolute paths; clean fresh run
  • Restricted-data / sealed-records situations flagged early, not at the pre-publication check
Show full SKILL.md (305 more words)Show less

Anti-patterns

  • Treating the deposit as an acceptance-day task — the policy requires materials available before publication
  • Depositing code with absolute paths or unrecorded package versions (will not reproduce)
  • Hand-coded legal variables with no coding protocol or reliability check (measurement not reproducible)
  • Restricted court/market data discovered at the check with no access documentation or synthetic extract
  • Unset seeds making bootstrap/permutation results non-reproducible

Law-and-economics data come from a handful of recurring sources, each with its own access and documentation pattern. Name yours and document accordingly:

SourceAccess realityWhat to document
Court records (PACER, state dockets)often public but fee-gated or rate-limited; some sealedthe query/scrape procedure, date pulled, sealed-case handling
Administrative / regulatory filings (SEC EDGAR, agency dockets)usually publicthe form types, vintage, and any parsing code
Enforcement / litigation databases (vendor)proprietary, license-restrictedthe vendor, license terms, and a synthetic extract
Statute / case coding (hand-built)you create itthe coding manual, sources, and inter-coder reliability
Linked administrative microdata (sealed)DUA-restricted, non-redistributablethe application path, DUA terms, wait time, synthetic schema

The reproducibility obligation is the same in every row: someone who legitimately obtains the source must be able to re-run your code and recover every exhibit.

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A paper on judge assignment uses individual case records the court provides only under a data-use agreement. The author cannot redistribute them, so the package deposits: (i) all cleaning and analysis code; (ii) a documented access path (the court's data-request form, the DUA terms, the ~10-week wait); (iii) a synthetic case file with the same schema so run_all executes end-to-end and a verifier can confirm the logic; and (iv) the judge-leniency leave-out construction script. The hand-coded ruling-type variable ships with its coding manual and a 200-case inter-coder reliability table. Any researcher who obtains the records can reproduce every exhibit — the JLE standard.
