Fine to try.

By franklee16/academic-research-skills (GitHub) · research · 234 stars · scanned at commit 9a4b2db

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.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'aer-topic-selection' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'aer-topic-selection' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named aer-topic-selection already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/franklee16/academic-research-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '9a4b2db21fc4b217136ae4a0e6faad42d179ca03' -- 'Awesome-Journal-Skills-main/AER-Skills-main/skills/aer-topic-selection' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'Awesome-Journal-Skills-main/AER-Skills-main/skills/aer-topic-selection' ~/.agents/skills/'aer-topic-selection' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'aer-topic-selection' ~/.claude/skills/'aer-topic-selection' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
