academic-paper-verify
Thoroughly verify all code, tables, figures, modeling decisions, and quantitative claims in an academic paper against its source R scripts and output files. Use this skill whenever you need to audit, replicate, or verify an academic research paper - including cross-checking LaTeX tables against R output, validating econometric modeling choices, ensuring sample sizes are consistent, building a verification manifest, and running automated replication tests. Trigger this skill for any mention of: paper verification, replication check, table audit, code-paper consistency, reproducing results, ve

# Academic Paper Verification A systematic skill for verifying the integrity and replicability of an academic research paper. This covers everything from individual coefficient checks to full end-to-end replication. ## Overview Verification proceeds in six phases. Each phase produces structured output. Do not skip phases - earlier phases feed into later ones. ``` Phase 1: Discovery -> inventory of

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill paper_verification --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/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 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.
