Remove signs of AI-generated writing from academic medical papers. Use when editing or reviewing manuscripts to make them sound more natural and professionally written. Based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" guide, adapted for medical literature. Detects and fixes patterns including: inflated significance claims, superficial -ing analyses, vague attributions, AI vocabulary words, copula avoidance, excessive hedging, generic conclusions, informal word choices (linked/beyond/via/where/yield...

Remove AI writing patterns from prose. Use this skill when writing, drafting, editing, reviewing, or revising any text to eliminate predictable AI tells, slop, and formulaic patterns. Trigger this skill whenever the user asks to "deslop", "de-AI", "make it sound human," "remove AI patterns," "remove AI tropes," "clean up AI writing," fix "slop," "deslop" text, or review prose for authenticity. Also use when the user asks you to write or draft anything and wants it to sound natural rather than...

Audit and rewrite content to remove AI writing patterns ("AI-isms"). Use this skill when asked to "remove AI-isms," "clean up AI writing," "edit writing for AI patterns," "audit writing for AI tells," or "make this sound less like AI." Supports a detection-only mode that flags patterns without rewriting.

中英双语学术降 AIGC / bilingual academic de-AIGC skill. Removes AI-generated writing signatures from empirical papers in economics, management, and the social sciences — in both English and Chinese. Covers Turnitin AI, GPTZero, Originality.ai on the English side and 知网 AMLC, 万方, 维普 on the Chinese side.

Use when selecting, implementing, or stress-testing the causal identification strategy for an empirical economics manuscript — difference-in-differences (including staggered designs), instrumental variables (including weak-IV-robust inference), regression discontinuity, synthetic control, or shift-share / Bartik. Apply before writing the introduction or results.

Use when drafting or rewriting the introduction of an economics manuscript targeted at AER, AER:Insights, or an AEJ, or when compressing an abstract to the mandatory 100-word limit. Implements the Keith Head / Bellemare five-paragraph formula and AER-specific formatting conventions. Apply after the body sections exist.

Use when responding to a Revise & Resubmit decision from AER, AER:Insights, or an AEJ, and a point-by-point response letter plus aligned manuscript revisions are needed. Handles triage, the concede / clarify / push-back decision, and the response-letter format that editors actually read.

Use when assembling the AEA Data and Code Availability deposit for an AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ acceptance, writing the README, or auditing a replication package before the AEA Data Editor review. Implements the current AEA policy, including the February 2026 Data and Code Availability Policy.

Use when the main empirical results exist but the manuscript lacks the robustness, heterogeneity, mechanism, and placebo checks that AER referees will demand. Apply after aer-identification and before aer-introduction so that the value-added paragraph can reference these tests.

Use when running the final pre-submission audit for an AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript — length, format, cover letter, per-author disclosure statements, file packaging, and routing among the AEA journal family. Apply immediately before clicking submit.

Use when constructing or revising regression tables, descriptive statistics tables, or figures after results are estimated and before submission for an AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript. Implements AER booktabs house style, regression-table layout, and figure-note conventions.

Use when evaluating whether a research idea clears the AER top-5 bar, when routing between AER, AER:Insights, and the AEJ family, or when sharpening a fuzzy contribution sentence into one publishable claim. Apply before any writing begins.

Use when deciding which AER-skills sub-skill to use next, before choosing a specialized skill or after a user asks how to sequence manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ journals. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

Choose the appropriate CausalPy experiment class from a causal question, data structure, treatment assignment, and identification assumptions. Use before writing analysis code when the method is not yet settled.

Fit, summarize, plot, and interpret a chosen CausalPy experiment. Use after the causal method has been selected, including when configuring PyMC/sklearn models and scale-aware custom priors.

Performs placebo-in-time sensitivity analysis with hierarchical null model and optional Bayesian assurance. Use when checking model robustness, verifying lack of pre-intervention effects, or estimating study power.

Guide users through writing a systematic literature review (SLR) following the PRISMA 2020 framework. Use this skill whenever the user mentions 'systematic review', 'systematic literature review', 'SLR', 'PRISMA', 'PRISMA 2020', 'PRISMA flow diagram', 'PRISMA checklist', or asks for help writing, structuring, or auditing a literature review that follows reporting guidelines. Also trigger when the user asks about inclusion/exclusion criteria for a review, search strategies for databases like S...

Conduct rigorous thematic analysis (TA) of qualitative data following Braun and Clarke's (2006) six-phase framework. Use whenever the user mentions 'thematic analysis', 'TA', 'Braun and Clarke', 'qualitative coding', 'identifying themes', or asks for help analysing interviews, focus groups, open-ended survey responses, or transcripts to identify patterns. Also trigger for questions about inductive vs theoretical coding, semantic vs latent themes, essentialist vs constructionist epistemology, ...

Clean and reshape Qualtrics conjoint exports to analysis-ready long format.

Design conjoint experiments: attributes, power, AMCE/AMIE estimation.

Diagnose conjoint design integrity, estimation choices, and validity.

Design cross-national survey experiments: power, equivalence, localization.

Before implementing, generate 3-5 conceptually distinct approaches labeled by creativity dimension (Novel, Surprising, Diverse, Conventional), then hold for selection. Brainstorm-then-select to resist defaulting to the most obvious solution.

Audit manuscript and replication package against FAIR open-science principles.

Audit figures, tables, captions, cross-references, and statistical notes.

Design and format publication-quality figures: chart choice, color, scales, legends, captions, reproducibility.
