What it does

Qe Review Process is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use to understand and plan around the Quantitative Economics (QE) editorial timeline — desk-reject risk, external refereeing, ~4-5 month target turnaround, 12-month revise windows, the Econometrica-transfer route, and the pre-acceptance ES Data Editor check. Sets expectations; it does not draft the paper.

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.

The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Understand and plan around the Quantitative Economics (QE) editorial timeline — desk-reject risk
  • External refereeing
  • ~4-5 month target turnaround
  • 12-month revise windows

Example prompts

  • “/qe-review-process”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Membership + fee gate — at least one author must be an ES member; the submission fee (US$100 / US$50 student) is paid at submission unless…
  2. Desk screen — handling coeditor decides whether to send out; a desk reject is fast and the fee is not refunded when rejected without review.
  3. External refereeing — one or more referees / an AE; the coeditor synthesizes.
  4. Revision rounds — the coeditor's letter sets binding vs. optional points; revise offers run ~12 months.
  5. Pre-acceptance reproducibility check — before final acceptance the ES Data Editor (inaugural Data Editor Joan Llull) runs reproducibility…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Qe Review Process loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 489 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 489 words (~1,052 tokens).

“QE runs editor/coeditor-managed external peer review. The handling coeditor may desk-reject without external review (typically within a couple of weeks); most — but not all — papers that pass desk go to one or more outside referees, often including an…”
