aeja-replication-package
Use when assembling the data and code replication package for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Builds the openICPSR deposit and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Replication Package & AEA Data Policy (aeja-replication-package) ## When to trigger - The paper is empirical 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 Data Availability Statement to AEA standard - Some data are restricted/proprietary and you must plan the deposit around that ## Why this is the AEJ: Applied signature The single most distinctive AEJ: Applied differentiator is the **AEA Data and Code Availability Policy**, administered by the **AEA Data Editor (Lars Vilhuber)**. Papers offered a revise-and-resubmit are asked to submit a data replication package at resubmission, and accepted papers must clear the Data Editor's compliance and reproducibility checks before publication. The default home is the **AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR**; other trusted repositories require appropriate Data Editor access. Build this package as you analyze; do not treat it as an acceptance-day formality. ## What the package must contain | Component | Requirement | |-----------|-------------| | **Data files** | All data used, *unzipped*, in ope

What does the aeja-replication-package skill do?
Use when assembling the data and code replication package for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Builds the openICPSR deposit and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aeja-replication-package --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
