qje-replication-package
Use when assembling the data and code replication package for a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) manuscript — required for accepted empirical papers under QJE's data-availability policy. Builds a reproducible deposit; it does not perform 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 (qje-replication-package) ## When to trigger - The paper is heading toward acceptance and a data/code deposit is required - You want a reproducible pipeline early, to pre-empt referee replication requests - A reproducibility check or data editor asked for materials that regenerate every exhibit - Raw data are restricted/proprietary and you need a disclosure-compliant plan ## Why this matters at QJE QJE's policy: it **publishes papers only if the data are clearly documented and readily available for replication**, and authors of accepted empirical/simulation/experimental papers must, prior to publication, provide the **data, programs, and computation details** sufficient to replicate the results. These are posted to the **QJE Dataverse** (the journal's repository on Harvard Dataverse), not openICPSR — a concrete difference from the AEA journals, even though QJE explicitly **adopted the AER data availability policy**. Source: academic.oup.com/qje/pages/data_policy. Proprietary-data exemptions exist but are narrow: you must **flag proprietary data in the cover letter at submission**, and even with an approved exemption you must still deposit the **programs** (the

What does the qje-replication-package skill do?
Use when assembling the data and code replication package for a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) manuscript — required for accepted empirical papers under QJE's data-availability policy. Builds a reproducible deposit; it does not perform the analysis itself.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill qje-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.
