Awesome-Agent-Skills-for-Empirical-Research submit

Final submission verification gate for the sewage-house-prices paper. Runs full paper excellence review, replication audit, enforces score gates, and generates cover letter draft and submission checklist. This skill should be used when asked to "submit", "prepare for submission", or "submission checklist".

Submit

Final submission gate combining full verification, score enforcement, and submission checklist.

Input:

$ARGUMENTS

— target journal name (optional).

Workflow

Step 1: Pre-Flight Checks

Verify manuscript exists at
```
docs/overleaf/_main.tex
```
Check for existing quality reports in
```
output/log/
```
Verify analysis outputs exist in
```
output/tables/
```
and
```
output/figures/
```
Check
```
Replication/
```
directory exists (if not, flag for
```
/data-deposit
```
)

Step 2: Run Full Verification

/paper-excellence

hasn't been run recently (check report dates in

output/log/

Run the full paper excellence review (econometrics, code, paper, bibliography)

Step 3: Run Replication Audit

Replication/

exists:

Run
```
/audit-replication Replication/
```

Step 4: Score Gate

Check against thresholds:

Requirement	Threshold	Status
Aggregate score	>= 90	PASS/FAIL
Econometrics component	>= 80	PASS/FAIL
Code component	>= 80	PASS/FAIL
Paper component	>= 80	PASS/FAIL
Replication (if exists)	>= 8/10 checks	PASS/FAIL

If any requirement FAILS: List specific blocking issues and stop. Do not generate submission materials.

Step 5: Generate Submission Package

If all gates pass:

Cover letter draft (save to
```
output/log/cover_letter_[journal]_[date].tex
```
):
- Addressed to current editor
- 1 paragraph: what the paper does (sewage spill capitalisation using EDM data)
- 1 paragraph: why this journal (fit with environmental/housing economics)
- 1 paragraph: originality confirmation
- Suggested referees (3-5, from
```
/target-journal
```
  if available)

Final checklist (save to

output/log/submission_checklist_[date].md

2. Upload to [submission portal]
3. Enter suggested referees
4. Submit

Principles

This is the final gate. Score >= 90 with all components >= 80.
If it fails, stop. List blocking issues. Don't generate submission materials for a failing paper.
Cover letter is a draft. The user must review and customise before sending.
Manual submission. This skill prepares materials but does NOT submit to journals.
Be realistic. If the paper isn't ready, say so clearly.
