What it does

Referees and editors run cheap integrity checks before engaging with ideas: does the abstract's number appear in the tables? Do the Ns add up?

Does "Table 4" exist? Does every citation resolve? A single mismatch reframes the entire report from "is this right?" to "what else is wrong?" — and for AI-assisted manuscripts these mismatches are the modal failure, because text and tables are often generated in separate passes.

When your AI uses it

Use when auditing a finished or near-finished AER, AER:Insights, or AEJ manuscript for internal consistency: headline numbers across…

You don’t need to name it. Ask for the job in your own words — your AI loads the skill when the request matches.

What it can touch

  • Includes 1 script

    Your AI can run these when the skill is used — on your computer in a coding tool (which asks first unless you have told it not to), or in the AI’s own sandbox in Claude and ChatGPT.

    How we know

    Found in the skill’s folder: scripts/audit_manuscript.py.

  • Uses terminal commands

    It shows your AI commands to run. In a coding agent that means your terminal; in a chat app it usually can’t.

    How we know

    The SKILL.md contains shell code blocks.

  • No known risk pattern found

    Launch7’s automated check read all 4 text files in this skill and matched none of its risk patterns. This is not a guarantee: a check like this can miss new or disguised tricks, and the author can change the files after the check.

    How we know

    Read 2026-10-04, commit 85eae99 by pipeline/trust/analyze.py — 40+ patterns for hidden text, prompt injection, downloads that run, credential access and more. It reads; it never runs the skill.

  • Recently maintained

    Its repository has had changes recently.

    How we know

    Last push to brycewang-stanford/AER-Skills: 2026-07-15 (81 days before the scan).

Read automatically from the skill’s own files on GitHub on 4 Oct 2026. Launch7 does not run or manually review skills: this lists what the check saw, and nothing here means “safe”. How we check

Add it to your AI

Partly. Upload it in Claude’s settings — the instructions work; the scripts need the full folder.

  1. Built in your browser from the SKILL.md on GitHub — nothing passes through Launch7.

  2. In Claude, open Customize → Skills, press +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and choose the .zip.

  3. Make sure code execution is switched on (Settings → Capabilities). Skills need it.

  4. Start a new chat and ask for the job in your own words — Claude picks the skill up when it fits.

This skill ships 1 script beside its instructions. The download here is the SKILL.md alone — enough for the instructions, not for the parts that run code. Use the command route, or take the full folder from the repository.

How Claude does this: support.claude.com · checked 28 Sep 2026 · “Supported” means documented by the vendor; Launch7 has not run it end to end
