AEJ-Macroeconomics-Skills — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited AEJ-Macroeconomics-Skills (Plugin) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

Twelve agent skills for manuscripts targeted at the American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics (AEJ: Macro), the American Economic Association's quarterly, broad-interest macroeconomics journal (founded 2009; one of four AEJs). The pack is built around AEJ: Macro's defining feature — it welcomes both quantitative-theoretical work (DSGE, heterogeneous-agent / HANK, structural estimation) and identified-empirical work (SVAR, local projections, narrative and high-frequency identification) — judged on quantitative discipline and policy relevance. It encodes the AEA submission process: the membership-scaled submission fee, single-blind review, JEL codes, the ≤100-word abstract, the ~40-page length guidance, per-coauthor disclosure, and the AEA Data Editor's pre-publication reproducibility check (covering simulation and model-solution code) deposited at the AEA Data and Code Repository on openICPSR.
Official basis checked 2026-06: AEJ: Macro submission guidelines, editorial policy, and editors pages; the AEA Data and Code Availability Policy and Office of the AEA Data Editor; the AEA disclosure policy. See resources/official-source-map.md. Volatile facts (fees, page charge, editors, length guidance, policy dates) are marked "检索于 2026-06；以官网为准" — verify on the official AEA pages before relying on a specific number.
AEJ: Macro is neither the general-interest flagship nor a field outlet, and its process has macro-specific traps a generic econ stack misses:
| Constraint | AEJ: Macro specifics | Why a generic stack fails |
|---|---|---|
| Methodological breadth | Both quantitative-theory (DSGE/HANK) and identified-empirics (SVAR/LP/narrative) are in scope | A purely-empirical or purely-structural stack mis-frames half the journal |
| Broad-interest bar | Decisions weigh breadth of topic + interest to the AEJ: Macro audience | Field-depth framing reads as JME/RED, not AEJ: Macro |
| Abstract length | ≤100 words (hard) | Most stacks assume 150–250 words |
| Length guidance | ~40pp (11pt) / ~45pp (12pt), incl. figures/tables/refs/appendices | Generic stacks ignore the page budget and the online-appendix split |
| Review model | Single-blind (author known to referee) | Stacks that assume double-blind anonymization mislead |
| Reproducibility | AEA Data Editor checks before publication; simulation/solver code required | Stacks that package only regression scripts fail the macro check |
| Disclosure | Separate statement per coauthor; $10,000 threshold | One-statement assumptions miss a hard requirement |
As a Claude Code plugin (recommended). Add the marketplace and install:
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills
/plugin install aej-macroeconomics-skillsThen ask, e.g., "Use aejmac-workflow: my HANK paper got an R&R, what next?" and the router points you to the right skill.
Manually. Copy this directory into your project and point your agent at skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Start with skills/aejmac-workflow/SKILL.md, the router.

| # | Skill | Use it when |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | aejmac-workflow | Route the manuscript from fit through submission and the R&R |
| 2 | aejmac-topic-selection | Decide whether the paper fits AEJ: Macro vs. AER, JME, RED, AEJ: Applied |
| 3 | aejmac-literature-positioning | Stake the contribution vs. the theory and empirical frontiers |
| 4 | aejmac-identification | Stress-test SVAR / LP / narrative / high-frequency identification |
| 5 | aejmac-theory-model | Discipline a DSGE / HANK / structural model: calibration, identification, numerics |
| 6 | aejmac-robustness | Show the headline number survives sample, spec, and method choices |
| 7 | aejmac-tables-figures | Build IRFs, fan charts, and model-fit exhibits to AEA + macro norms |
| 8 | aejmac-writing-style | Hit the broad-interest intro arc and the ≤100-word abstract |
| 9 | aejmac-replication-package | Assemble the openICPSR package (incl. simulation/solver code) for the AEA Data Editor |
| 10 | aejmac-referee-strategy | Pre-empt the objections macro referees raise; gauge desk-reject risk |
| 11 | aejmac-submission | Final AEA-system preflight: fee tier, abstract, JEL, disclosure |
| 12 | aejmac-rebuttal | Draft the response letter and revision plan after an R&R |

|---|---|---|
| AEJ: Macro | Broad-interest macro; quantitative-theory and identified-empirics; AEA process | The target of this pack |
| AER | Top general-interest; first-order, longer papers | Send the field-reshaping result there; AEJ: Macro is high-quality, not the flagship |
| J. Monetary Economics | Field-macro depth for specialists | If breadth is thin, JME fits better |
| RED | Quantitative dynamics / methods for the macro-methods community | A pure dynamic-GE methods paper fits RED |
| AEJ: Applied | Micro-empirical applied identification | A micro paper touching aggregates fits AEJ: Applied |
