What it does

Wber Replication Package is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when assembling the data and code replication package for a The World Bank Economic Review (WBER) manuscript to meet WBER's condition-of-publication data/code release, the data availability statement with a DOI repository link, and the realities of restricted developing-country data. Builds the deposit and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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. 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

  • The data availability statement with a DOI repository link
  • The realities of restricted developing-country data

Example prompts

  • “/wber-replication-package”

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

Wber Replication Package loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 809 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 assembling the data and code replication package for a The World Bank Economic Review (WBER) manuscript to meet WBER's condition-of-publication data/code release, the data availability statement with a DOI repository link, and the realities of restricted developing-country data. Builds the deposit and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.

Replication Package & Data Policy (wber-replication-package)

When to trigger

  • The paper is empirical and headed toward acceptance (or you are building the package early)
  • You need to write the data availability statement and the DOI repository link for the title page
  • Some data are restricted, proprietary, or governed by a national statistics office and you must plan the deposit around that
  • An R&R asks you to make data and code available
  • You want to know what "condition of publication" actually requires here

Why this is a WBER signature

WBER's most distinctive, stable policy is transparency as a condition of publication: authors must, where ethically and legally possible, publicly release all data and the software code underlying a published paper. By repute WBER is the only development field journal that routinely publishes data and code, and this fits the broader World Bank reproducible-research push. The manuscript must carry a data availability statement — on the title page / author-affiliation footnote — with a persistent (preferably DOI) link to the data in a repository (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准; verify exact wording on the OUP author guidelines). Build the package as you analyze; do not treat it as an acceptance-day formality.

What the package must contain

ComponentRequirement
Data filesAll data used, in open/documented formats; or, for restricted data, a precise documented access path
Analysis + transformation codeEvery script from raw → cleaned data → each table/figure
Master scriptOne run_all that regenerates every exhibit from raw inputs
READMEData sources, access terms, computational requirements, run instructions, and an exhibit-to-code map
Data Availability StatementOn the title page; persistent DOI link to the repository deposit
InstrumentsSurvey instruments / enumerator manuals for own-data field studies

Handling restricted developing-country data

This is the WBER-specific hard part — much development data is governed by national statistics offices, ministries, or data providers (LSMS, DHS, census, tax records):

  • You cannot post restricted microdata, but you must still deposit all code and document the exact access procedure: provider, application steps, any cost, approximate wait, and the data version/round used.
  • Provide a small synthetic or public extract so the code runs end-to-end and a verifier can check the logic where the real data cannot be shared.
  • For DHS/LSMS-type data, cite the specific survey round and version and the registration step a replicator must complete; do not assume "DHS data" is self-locating.
  • Declare any restricted-data or exemption situation at the earliest opportunity, not at the final check — arrangements are at editor discretion.

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-inference step.
  • No absolute paths — one root macro/variable; relative paths thereafter.
  • Exhibit-to-code map in the README: Table 3 → code/05_main.do, Figure 2 → code/06_event_study.R.
  • Run it clean on a fresh checkout before depositing.
  • Currency/PPP transparency: document deflators, PPP conversion factors, and exchange-rate sources — replicators in development work need these to reproduce real-value results.

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

Checklist

  • One run_all master script regenerates every table and figure from raw data
  • All data deposited (or restricted-data access path documented + synthetic/public extract provided)
  • README has a complete exhibit-to-code map and computational requirements
  • Data Availability Statement on the title page with a persistent DOI repository link
  • Specific survey rounds/versions (DHS/LSMS/census/admin) cited with the registration step
  • Software/package versions pinned; seeds set and reported; no absolute paths
  • Deflators / PPP / exchange-rate sources documented
  • Restricted-data / exemption situation declared early; field instruments included

Anti-patterns

  • Treating data/code release as optional or as an acceptance-day task — it is a condition of publication
  • A title page with no data availability statement or no persistent DOI link
  • "DHS/LSMS data" cited with no round, version, or registration path (not reproducible)
  • Restricted data with no documented access procedure and no synthetic extract
  • Absolute paths, unrecorded package versions, or unset seeds that break reproduction
  • Undocumented deflators/PPP factors so real-value results cannot be regenerated

Worked vignette (illustrative)

A poverty paper uses LSMS consumption data (restricted, registration-gated) plus a public price index. The team cannot post the LSMS microdata, so the package contains: every cleaning and analysis script; a README naming the specific LSMS country, round, and version and the exact registration steps a replicator must complete; a small synthetic extract with the same variable structure so run_all executes end-to-end; documented deflators and PPP factors; and pinned Stata package versions with seeds set for the bootstrap. The title page carries a data availability statement with a DOI link to the openICPSR-style deposit holding the code and synthetic data. Because the public price index can be shared, it is deposited in full. The package would let a verifier reproduce the logic, and reproduce the numbers entirely once they obtain LSMS access.
