aejmac-replication-package
Use when assembling the data, code, and documentation package for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Covers macro specifics (simulation/calibration code, restricted-access data); it does not write the analysis itself.

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 (aejmac-replication-package) ## When to trigger - A paper is heading toward conditional acceptance and the AEA Data Editor check is next - You have simulation/calibration code but have never packaged it for a reviewer to run - The data include a restricted/proprietary source (confidential micro data, licensed series) - You want to build the package *as you go* rather than scrambling at acceptance ## The AEA reproducibility regime (verified 2026-06; re-confirm on the official AEA pages) - Governed by the **AEA Data and Code Availability Policy**. Conditionally accepted papers undergo a review by the **AEA Data Editor** (Lars Vilhuber) **before publication**, including **reproducibility checks** and verification of the information provided. - Deposit in the **AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR** (use is strongly encouraged; other trusted repositories may be allowed with Data Editor approval). Materials are posted with the article. - **Code scope is broad** — and this is the macro-critical point: the policy covers data cleaning **and** "estimation, **simulation**, model solution, and **visualization**" code. For AEJ: Macro, the **DSGE/HANK solver, the cali

What does the aejmac-replication-package skill do?
Use when assembling the data, code, and documentation package for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Covers macro specifics (simulation/calibration code, restricted-access data); it does not write the analysis itself.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aejmac-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.
