Auto-Empirical Research Skills (AERS)

A Claude-plugin-structured mega-catalog of agent skills for empirical social-science research: 74 collections / 1,094 vendored skills — 7 first-party Stanford REAP × CoPaper.AI collections (including the StatsPAI causal engine and the Paper-WorkFlow meta-orchestrator) plus 67 curated, security-audited community collections — spanning topic refinement, literature review, data acquisition, identification strategy, estimation (Python/Stata/R), robustness audit, publication tables, writing, review simulation, AI-trace removal, and journal submission. The headline "23,000+ skills" refers to an accompanying awesome-list map of 119 ecosystem repos; the vendored, cataloged content is 1,094 skills.

What it does

The largest empirical-social-science skills distribution in the catalog, and unusually serious about verification for a skills list: a numeric benchmark of 17 tasks whose gold values are recomputed from real data each run (encoding classic traps such as the LaLonde naive-ATT sign flip and Card IV recovery), a behavioral eval harness (37 scenarios / 183 rubric items), per-skill provenance and license audits in catalog JSON, and a root SKILL.md router so 1,094 skills are dispatched without flooding context. Vendors several standalone entries of this catalog (clo-author, academic-research-skills) as collections.

Solid tags are declared by the source or mapped from its terms; dashed tags are inferred by a published rule. Hover a tag for its provenance.

Bring it into the standard

A pipeline built outside E2ER can meet the standard by describing its steps as a template, attaching the floor of checks and publishing evaluation records. Its authors keep ownership and credit.
