What it does

Smr Software And Reproducibility is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when preparing the released software, code, data, and reproducibility materials for a Sociological Methods & Research (SMR) paper — a usable package plus scripts that recreate every table, figure, and simulation, and the SMR data-and-code availability statement. Builds the reproducibility layer; does not write the manuscript.

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 Research & Science, covering 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

  • Preparing the released software
  • Reproducibility materials for a Sociological Methods & Research (SMR) paper — a usable package plus scripts that recreate every table
  • The SMR data-and-code availability statement

Example prompts

  • “/smr-software-and-reproducibility”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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

Smr Software And Reproducibility loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

description
Use when preparing the released software, code, data, and reproducibility materials for a Sociological Methods & Research (SMR) paper — a usable package plus scripts that recreate every table, figure, and simulation, and the SMR data-and-code availability statement. Builds the reproducibility layer; does not write the manuscript.

SMR Software and Reproducibility

Use this to meet SMR's defining expectation: a methods paper should ship a method other people can run. SMR readers adopt methods, so released, documented software and a reproducible pipeline are not optional extras — a beautiful estimator with no usable code is a method no one will use, and reviewers know it.

What "released software" means at SMR

  • A package or well-structured code implementing the method in a mainstream environment (R, Stata, Python — whatever the audience uses), with a documented interface, not a private analysis script.
  • Worked usage: a minimal example that runs the method on toy or example data, so a reader can confirm it works before adapting it.
  • Versioned and citable: deposit in a trusted public repository (e.g., a tagged release with a DOI) rather than a personal homepage that can disappear.

The reproducibility pipeline

Every exhibit in the paper must be regenerable:

  • A README stating software versions, dependencies, expected runtime, and the entry-point command.
  • A master script that runs the full pipeline: simulation grid → tables → figures → illustration, with seeds fixed so Monte Carlo results reproduce exactly.
  • One command per exhibit mapping (or a clear table) so a replicator knows which script produces Table 2, Figure 3, etc.
  • For long simulations, provide a smoke-test mode (few replications) that runs quickly and a full-run mode that reproduces the paper.

The SMR availability statement

SMR requires a data-and-code availability statement (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准):

  • Disclose how the study data, code, and materials can be permanently accessed — repository name, DOI/URL, and any access conditions.
  • Code and materials are expected; data should be deposited where possible, and restricted data must state the reason and the access path/conditions in the statement.
  • Use a trusted public repository; reference datasets in DataCite style.
  • Write the statement at submission, not at acceptance — it is part of the manuscript's conformance.

Anonymization of the package under double-anonymized review

  • The released materials submitted for review must not deanonymize: strip author names, institutional paths, and account handles from code, README, and repository metadata.
  • Use an anonymized repository (e.g., a blinded archive) for the review copy; reveal the public, citable version at acceptance.

Checklist

  • The method is released as a usable package/structured code, not a private script.
  • A minimal runnable usage example is included.
  • The code is versioned and deposited in a trusted, citable public repository.
  • A README states versions, dependencies, runtime, and the entry command.
  • A master script reproduces every table, figure, and the simulation, with seeds fixed.
  • An exhibit→script map lets a replicator find each result.
  • A smoke-test mode exists for long simulations.
  • The data-and-code availability statement is written, with repository/DOI and any access conditions.
  • The review-copy materials are anonymized.

Anti-patterns

  • Private analysis script as "software": code that only the authors can run.
  • Unseeded simulation: Monte Carlo results that cannot be reproduced.
  • Disappearing host: code on a personal homepage with no archive/DOI.
  • Missing exhibit map: a replicator cannot tell which script makes which table.
  • Availability statement deferred to acceptance, or vague ("available on request").
  • Deanonymizing repo metadata in the review copy.
