Academic Paper Writer is an agent skill from meleantonio/awesome-econ-ai-stuff. Draft economics papers with proper structure and academic style
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `index.md`). Compatibility notes: ["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]
It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: AI Skills for Economists.
When your agent uses it
- Research & Science work in your project
Example prompts
- “/academic-paper-writer”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): ["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Identify Paper Type
- Follow the IMRAD Structure
- Apply Economics Writing Conventions
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd890d5. 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 (its code samples are latex).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
johnhcochrane.combrown.edumitpress.mit.edu
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.
Compatibility
["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Academic Paper Writer loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 376 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 376 words (~1,930 tokens).
“This skill helps economists draft, structure, and polish academic papers with proper conventions for economics journals. It provides templates for different paper types and guidance on academic writing style.”
