SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The AI Econ Finance Research Skill helps researchers manage and streamline economics and finance research tasks by routing to appropriate handbook references, enforcing safe AI usage, and preventing citation or data mishaps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guided task routing to the relevant handbook sections (concepts, literature review, empirical methods, coding, Git workflows, data access, verification).
  • Safety-first checks: no invented citations, do not reveal restricted data, and require AI-use logs.
  • Instant project scaffolding: creates a structured workspace with key files (README, DATA, AGENTS, AI-USE-LOG) and a traceable decision trail.
  • Suitable for start-to-finish research tasks: literature synthesis, methods design, coding assistance, data handling, and presentation preparation.

Quick Start

Open your research workspace and instruct the AI with your initial task to route to the correct reference and establish the safety-first workflow.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use AI for literature review in econ and finance research without getting fake citations?

AI-assisted literature review workflows prevent fake citations by enforcing safety checks that block invented references. The system routes tasks to handbook sections for literature synthesis while requiring human verification of all cited sources.

What is a safe AI workflow for handling confidential data in empirical finance research?

Safe AI workflows for empirical finance research apply data-confidentiality guardrails that prevent restricted data from being revealed. They require AI-use logging and structured outputs to maintain a traceable decision trail for all data handling tasks.

How do I set up a structured workspace for economics research projects using AI?

Setting up an economics research workspace involves instant project scaffolding that creates key files like README, DATA, AGENTS, and AI-USE-LOG. This establishes a structured environment with a traceable decision trail for start-to-finish research tasks.

Does this AI research workflow help with coding and empirical methods design?

Yes, the AI research workflow helps with coding and empirical methods design by routing economists to specific handbook references. It guides tasks from methods design to coding assistance while maintaining safe AI usage standards.

What is the best way to log AI usage in an academic finance research project?

The best way to log AI usage in finance research is through automated frontmatter-based metadata and an AI-USE-LOG file. This enforces traceable decision trails and ensures compliance with safe AI-assisted workflow standards.

When should I not use AI assistance for econometric data analysis?

You should not use AI assistance for econometric data analysis without human verification or when handling restricted datasets that violate data-confidentiality guardrails. The workflow requires strict human verification to prevent citation or data mishaps.
