• code-audit

  Two-phase code audit workflow for empirical research scripts. Use this skill when the user asks to review, audit, check, validate, or verify R or Python research code — especially code that processes licensed or sensitive data (WRDS, CRSP, WellDatabase, PLIDA).

• code-sweep

  End-of-milestone audit of a research project's `Code/` folder against the paper and outputs. Surfaces drift between scripts, YAML headers, the script registry, outputs, raw data, and the paper. Categorises findings as MUST-FIX or SUGGESTED and proposes fixes one at a time for the user to confirm. Use this skill when the user says "code sweep", "sweep the code", "run a code sweep", "audit my code…

• edmans-audit

  Audit a finance paper against Alex Edmans' "Learnings From 1,000 Rejections" (2025, Financial Management) three-part framework: Contribution, Execution, Exposition.

• glossary

  Per-project glossary of key definitions, abbreviations, and command-phrases, stored in `GLOSSARY.md` at the project root. Use this skill when the user defines or asks about a project-specific term — variable names, dataset or database names, acronyms — or sets up a command-phrase (a phrase that maps to an action, e.g. "push" = commit and push the paper to GitHub). Triggers include "add to glossar…

• r-empirical-finance

  Conventions for writing empirical finance R code with data.table, fixest, arrow, and ggplot2. Use this skill whenever writing, reviewing, refactoring, or debugging R scripts for panel data, event studies, DiD, IV/2SLS, regressions, or data pipelines — even if the user just says "write some R code" or "clean this data."

• script-registry

  Use when creating a new `.Rmd` script in `Code/`, editing the `registry:` YAML block of an existing script in `Code/`, moving a `Code/*.Rmd` into `_Archive/`, or when the user says "update registry", "show registry", or "which script makes X". Before writing any new `Code/*.Rmd` script, read `Code/REGISTRY.md` first and surface existing matches before starting fresh. After any YAML change, run `C…

  Reference for writing and improving Claude Code skills. Use when the user asks to create a new skill, improve an existing skill, turn a conversation workflow into a reusable skill, or says anything like "make this a skill", "save this as a skill", or "let's capture this."

• top5-framing

  Diagnose and raise the general-interest ceiling of an academic economics or finance paper so it reads like a top-5 (or top-3 finance) submission. Use this skill whenever the user asks to review, reframe, or strengthen a paper draft, abstract, introduction, or pitch for a top journal — including requests like "make this more general interest", "why would the JF/QJE care", "punch up my intro", "is…
