Public Claude Code skills for academic economists
Overview
Custom skills for Claude Code, focused on academic research workflows: paper auditing, literature review, LaTeX compilation, code review, and model solving. Each skill is a directory containing SKILL.md. Do NOT copy flat .md files into ~/.claude/skills/; they will be silently ignored. If you already have skills in ~/.claude/skills/, merge the contents rather than replacing the directory: Skills update live within an active session (no restart needed for edits to existing skills).
