ecj-replication-package
Use when assembling the data and code replication package for a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript to the RES / EJ Data Editor standard (DCAS-endorsed, Zenodo deposit, reproducibility check before final acceptance). Builds the package and README; it does not run 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 (ecj-replication-package) ## When to trigger - The paper is heading toward acceptance and the **EJ Data Editor** needs a reproducible deposit - You want the package to pass the EJ Data Editor's reproducibility check on the first pass - Some data are proprietary or restricted and you must request an exemption and document access - You are setting up the project early so reproducibility is not a last-minute scramble > Verify the current policy on the EJ Data Editor site (ejdataeditor.github.io) and the OUP > Instructions before depositing. EJ runs **pre-acceptance reproducibility checks**: the paper is > accepted for final publication only after results have been checked for reproducibility. The > package is posted to the journal's Zenodo repository or another trusted repository and linked from > the paper. It is essential to **request a data exemption at the point of first submission** if you > face any access restrictions. ## What a passing package contains 1. **README** (the centerpiece) following the DCAS / Social Science Data Editors README template: - Overview of what the code does and the mapping from code → every exhibit and in-text number. - Data availa

What does the ecj-replication-package skill do?
Use when assembling the data and code replication package for a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript to the RES / EJ Data Editor standard (DCAS-endorsed, Zenodo deposit, reproducibility check before final acceptance). Builds the package and README; it does not run the analysis itself.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ecj-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.
