Claude Skills by brycewang-stanford

Use when revising an ACM MM (ACM Multimedia) paper for house style — putting the cross-modal contribution on the first page, framing media (figures, video, audio) as evidence rather than decoration, making the fusion the visible claim, and compressing the argument into a 6-8 page ACM sigconf body with references-only overflow.

Use when the causal identification argument is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript — RCT, difference-in-differences/event study, regression discontinuity, IV, or shift-share. Stress-tests the data-to-causal-estimate mapping to the AEJ: Applied credibility bar before exhibits are finalized; it does not write the prose or build the package.

Use when the marginal contribution of an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript is fuzzy or undersold and must be staked precisely against prior applied-micro work. Positions the contribution; it does not fix the identification (aeja-identification) or the prose (aeja-writing-style).

Use when an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) decision letter arrives (R&R or conditional accept) and a response-to-referees letter plus a revision plan must be drafted. Plans and structures the response; it does not run the new analysis (aeja-identification / aeja-robustness) or the submission preflight.

Use when anticipating the objections a sophisticated American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) referee will raise, so a manuscript pre-empts them before submission or addresses them in revision. Plans the defense; it does not draft the response letter (aeja-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight (aeja-submission).

Use when assembling the data and code replication package for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Builds the openICPSR deposit and README; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.

Use when an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript's headline estimate must be shown to survive specification, sample, and inference choices before submission or in an R&R. Builds the robustness suite a sophisticated referee expects; it does not establish the primary identification (aeja-identification) or format the exhibits (aeja-tables-figures).

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript via the AEA ScholarOne system — single-blind review front matter, JEL codes, submission and publication fees, format, disclosures, and AEA data-policy readiness. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Use when building or revising the exhibits of an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript so the main causal result is legible in one table or figure and respects AEA house presentation norms. Formats exhibits; it does not establish the result (aeja-identification / aeja-robustness) or write the surrounding prose.

Use when an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript needs a model to interpret, discipline, or structure its empirical estimates — not to lead the paper. Calibrates how much theory belongs in an empirical-first journal and where it goes; it does not design the identification (aeja-identification) or build a standalone structural estimation.

Use when deciding whether an applied-micro project belongs at the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) rather than AER, AEJ: Economic Policy, or a field journal, and what its central question should be. Sets venue fit and question scope; it does not design the identification (see aeja-identification).

Use when deciding which aeja-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Use when revising the prose, abstract, and introduction of an American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) manuscript so the design and headline estimate land in the first paragraph in AEA house style. Polishes exposition; it does not change the result (aeja-identification / aeja-robustness) or the exhibits.

Use when the credibility of the causal evaluation of a policy is the bottleneck for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript — DID/event study, IV, RDD/bunching, or RCT of a program. Stress-tests the quasi-experimental policy-evaluation design to the AEJ: Policy bar before exhibits are finalized; it does not build the welfare mapping or write exhibits.

Use when placing the contribution against the policy-evaluation literature and sharpening it as a policy answer for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript. Stakes the contribution and the policy-relevant "so what"; it does not write the full introduction or design the identification.

Use when an AEJ: Economic Policy decision letter (R&R or reject-and-resubmit) has arrived and a response-letter strategy and revision plan are needed. Structures the response to referees and editor with policy-relevance front and center; it does not run new estimation or redesign identification from scratch.

Use when anticipating how AEJ: Economic Policy referees and editors will read a manuscript, before submission or before an R&R, to pre-empt the objections that sink policy-evaluation papers. Maps likely pushback to fixes and calibrates expectations; it does not write the response letter (see aejpol-rebuttal) or fix the identification.

Use when assembling the data and code deposit for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript to satisfy the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Builds the openICPSR deposit, README, and restricted-data access paths; it does not run the analysis or write the paper.

Use when an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript's headline policy estimate needs to be shown stable and credible against specification, sample, inference, and identification threats. Organizes the robustness program by threat-to-the-policy-conclusion; it does not design the primary identification or write exhibits.

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for AEJ: Economic Policy via the AEA online submission system — single-blind review front matter, JEL codes, submission and publication fees, format, the Data and Code Availability Statement, and disclosure. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Use when building or revising exhibits for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript so they meet AEA house style and carry the policy message — no significance asterisks, a self-contained headline exhibit, and figures that show the policy effect with uncertainty. Designs exhibits; it does not run the estimation or write the surrounding prose.

Use when an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript needs a framework that maps reduced-form estimates into a welfare, cost-benefit, or distributional policy object — sufficient statistics, MVPF, optimal-policy, or a small applied model. Builds the estimate-to-welfare bridge and states its assumptions; it does not run the empirical estimation or write the prose.

Use when deciding whether a project fits AEJ: Economic Policy rather than J. Public Economics, AEJ: Applied, or AER, and when sharpening the policy question and its welfare stake for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript. Frames fit and the policy-question-first contribution; it does not design the identification or run estimation.

Use when deciding which aejpol-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Use when drafting or revising the prose of an AEJ: Economic Policy manuscript — especially the abstract and introduction — to translate causal estimates into a clear policy takeaway without overclaiming. Shapes the policy-first narrative and house style; it does not design identification or build the welfare model.

Use when the empirical identification of a macro shock or dynamic causal effect is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript — SVAR, local projections, narrative, high-frequency/proxy-VAR, or micro-data macro designs. Stress-tests the identification to the AEJ: Macro broad-interest quantitative bar; for model-parameter identification see aejmac-theory-model.

Use when the contribution of an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript relative to the macro frontier is fuzzy, contested, or undersold. Frames the marginal contribution against quantitative-theory and identified-empirical literatures; it does not fix the identification or the model itself.

Use when an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) decision letter has arrived (R&R or reject-with-comments) and you need a response-letter strategy and revision plan. Plans the rebuttal and revision; it does not run new identification, model, or robustness work itself (route to those skills).

Use when anticipating the objections referees and coeditors will raise on an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript, and calibrating desk-reject and revision odds, before submission. Pre-empts pushback and plans the review; it does not draft the post-decision response letter (use aejmac-rebuttal).

Use when assembling the data, code, and documentation package for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript to pass the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check. Covers macro specifics (simulation/calibration code, restricted-access data); it does not write the analysis itself.

Use when the headline result of an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript must be shown stable across specification, sample, identification, and tuning choices. Builds the robustness program a macro referee will demand; it does not establish the primary identification or model (use aejmac-identification / aejmac-theory-model first).

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) via the AEA submission system — membership-scaled fee, JEL codes, PDF and length rules, ≤100-word abstract, disclosure statements, and data/code readiness. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Use when building or revising exhibits for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript — impulse-response figures, fan charts, model-fit overlays, and regression/moment tables — to AEA house standards and macro conventions. Formatting and clarity; it does not generate the underlying estimates.

Use when the quantitative model is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript — DSGE, New Keynesian, heterogeneous-agent (HANK / Aiyagari-Bewley), or structural estimation — and calibration, parameter identification, solution accuracy, or counterfactual validity need discipline. For empirical shock identification see aejmac-identification.

Use when deciding whether a macro paper fits the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) rather than AER, J. Monetary Economics, RED, or AEJ: Applied. Tests the broad-interest macro bar and venue fit; it does not write the paper or fix identification.

Use when deciding which aejmac-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Use when revising prose, the abstract, or the introduction of an American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro) manuscript for AEA house style and the broad-interest macro arc. Late-stage polish on framing and clarity; it does not fix identification, the model, or exhibits.

Use when the question is what makes the result tight or what the data identify for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — covering both (a) structural/empirical-IO and experimental identification and (b) for pure theory, which assumptions drive the result and how robust the mechanism is. Stress-tests credibility; it does not build the model (see aejmic-theory-model).

Use when the contribution of an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript is fuzzy or oversold relative to the closest existing results. Stakes the theorem-relative delta against the nearest theory; it does not build the model (see aejmic-theory-model) or frame the prose (see aejmic-writing-style).

Use when drafting the response letter and revision plan after an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) R&R. Structures the reply to theory referees (correctness, generality, exposition) and editor; it does not re-derive the result (see aejmic-theory-model).

Use when anticipating referee objections or calibrating review expectations for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript before submission. Pre-empts the objections theory referees raise and reads the editorial process; it does not draft the response letter (see aejmic-rebuttal).

Use when assembling the proof appendix and any code/data deposit for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript under the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy. Covers proof appendices for pure theory plus numerical/structural/experimental code; it does not run your estimation.

Use when extensions, edge cases, or applied robustness checks are missing for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — covering theory extensions (relaxed assumptions, alternative concepts, perturbations) and applied/experimental robustness. Decides which extensions earn their place; it does not prove the main result (see aejmic-theory-model).

Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) via the AEA submission system — single-blind review, the 100-word abstract, JEL classification, the submission fee, format, and the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy. Final checks; it does not draft content.

Use when presenting results for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — propositions, numerical examples, schematic theory figures, and empirical/experimental tables. Builds exhibits to AEA house norms; it does not derive the results (see aejmic-theory-model).

Use when the model setup, equilibrium concept, or proof architecture is the bottleneck for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript — the central skill for a theory-first paper. Builds the model to the AEJ: Micro bar (clean, general, well-motivated result); it does not check whether your theorem is correct.

Use when deciding whether a microeconomics project fits the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) rather than JET, GEB, Theoretical Economics, Econometrica, or AEJ: Applied. Tests scope and broad-interest fit; it does not develop the model (see aejmic-theory-model).

Use when deciding which aejmic-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from topic selection through rebuttal for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) submission. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

Use when prose buries the result or the abstract/intro do not land for an American Economic Journal: Microeconomics (AEJ: Micro) manuscript. Applies AEA house style and the theory-paper intro arc; it does not produce the result (see aejmic-theory-model) or build exhibits (see aejmic-tables-figures).

Use when the identification argument is the bottleneck for an American Economic Review: Insights (AER: Insights) short-format manuscript — causal identification in an empirical design, parameter identification in a structural model, or treatment-effect identification in an experiment. Stress-tests the strategy so it is clean enough to defend in a few pages, before exhibits are finalized.
