restat-replication-package
Use when assembling the data-and-code replication package for a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) manuscript under the journal's Data and Code Availability Policy — the deposit to the REStat Harvard Dataverse with a README that permits replication. Builds the package; it does not run the primary analysis.

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 & Data/Code Policy (restat-replication-package) ## When to trigger - The paper is approaching acceptance and a data/code deposit will be required - You use proprietary or restricted data and must plan for the policy before paying the fee - A README, master script, or directory structure needs to be assembled - You are unsure what REStat's Data and Code Availability Policy actually requires ## The REStat data/code bar (refreshed 2026-06-20; live-check the official policy page) REStat operates a **Data and Code Availability Policy** for empirical papers. The signature features that distinguish REStat from its siblings: - **Deposit to the REStat Harvard Dataverse** (`dataverse.harvard.edu/dataverse/restat`) — REStat uses a **proper Dataverse archive**, NOT openICPSR (which the AEA journals use) and NOT the JAE Data Archive. Getting the repository right is a load-bearing REStat detail. - **Post data and code, with documented README files, before publication.** The goal is to **provide enough information to permit replication** of the results in the paper. - **Proprietary / restricted data:** indicate this **at submission**. When data cannot be posted, you must **d

What does the restat-replication-package skill do?
Use when assembling the data-and-code replication package for a The Review of Economics and Statistics (REStat) manuscript under the journal's Data and Code Availability Policy — the deposit to the REStat Harvard Dataverse with a README that permits replication. Builds the package; it does not run the primary analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill restat-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.
