Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.

arecon-evidence-standards

Use when appraising the credibility of the primary studies an Annual Review of Economics (ARE) review synthesizes, and when calibrating comprehensiveness, balance, and fair treatment of competing views. Weighs evidence and audits even-handedness; it does not design the spine (arecon-organizing-framework) or run your own identification.

arecon-literature-synthesis

Use when systematically gathering, reading, and synthesizing a body of economic research for an Annual Review of Economics (ARE) review — coverage discipline and avoiding citation gaps. Builds the evidence corpus and synthesis notes; it does not impose the analytical spine (arecon-organizing-framework) or appraise study credibility (arecon-evidence-standards).

arecon-organizing-framework

Use when imposing an analytical structure or taxonomy on a literature for an Annual Review of Economics (ARE) review — the "spine" that turns a reading list into an argument about the field. Designs the framework; it does not gather the literature (arecon-literature-synthesis) or appraise evidence and balance (arecon-evidence-standards).

arecon-topic-selection

Use when judging whether a literature is an Annual Review of Economics (ARE)-scale review topic — mature, important, and genuinely in need of an authoritative, accessible synthesis — and framing the review's animating question. Decides fit; it does not gather the literature (arecon-literature-synthesis).

arpsych-organizing-framework

Use when imposing an analytical structure or taxonomy on a psychology literature for an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review — the "spine" that turns a reading list into an argument about the field. Designs the framework; it does not gather the literature (arpsych-literature-synthesis) or judge coverage and balance (arpsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance).

arpsych-topic-selection

Use when judging whether a psychology topic is mature, important, and synthesis-ready enough to warrant an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review. Tests topic fit; it does not pitch the topic to the Committee (arpsych-proposal-and-commissioning) or gather the literature (arpsych-literature-synthesis).

arpsych-transparency-and-reproducibility

Use when documenting the literature search and making any embedded meta-analysis reproducible for an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review. Covers search transparency, meta-analytic rigor, and open materials; it does not run the narrative search (arpsych-literature-synthesis) or design exhibits (arpsych-tables-figures).

arsoc-literature-synthesis

Use when systematically gathering, reading, and synthesizing a large body of sociological research for an Annual Review of Sociology (ARSoc) review — coverage discipline and avoiding citation gaps across theoretical traditions. Builds the evidence corpus and synthesis notes; it does not impose the analytical spine (arsoc-organizing-framework) or write prose (arsoc-writing-style).

arsoc-organizing-framework

Use when imposing an analytical structure or taxonomy on a sociology literature for an Annual Review of Sociology (ARSoc) review — the "spine" that turns a reading list into an argument about the subfield. Designs the framework; it does not gather the literature (arsoc-literature-synthesis) or judge balance (arsoc-comprehensiveness-and-balance).

arsoc-topic-selection

Use when judging whether a sociology literature is an Annual Review of Sociology (ARSoc)-scale review topic — mature, broadly important, and genuinely in need of an authoritative cross-subfield synthesis — and framing the review's animating question. Decides fit; it does not gather the literature (arsoc-literature-synthesis) or pitch the Committee (arsoc-proposal-and-commissioning).
