AI

How-to Guides and Useful Links

Below are some resources I’ve either personally used, customized for my own workflow, or bookmarked for use down the line. I have found most of these resources on LinkedIn. If you have a resource that you think may be of interest to political scientists, please reach out! Especially if you don’t feel represented among the individuals listed here.

NOTE): I do not use AI to maintain this page; if a resource is linked here, it’s because I’ve personally put it here and endorse its use (or at the very least am curious about it!). My general guidance around AI use is that my approach toward integrating generative AI into my workflow is no different from that of other coding languages.

Instructional material

Open-source coding agent stuff

  • OpenCode
  • OpenCode Power Pack by Wayner Barrios - for converting Claude skills into OpenCode agent skills (although some OpenCode agents seem to work fine with Claude skills as is?)

Claude skills

  • claudeblattman by Chris Blattman - a whole suite of coding agents, skills etc. that academics can use out of the box. I haven’t used it yet but it looks very comprehensive!
  • clo-author by Hugo Sant’Anna - tools for empirical Economics research; my starting point for custom building skills
  • BibTeX Cleaning Agent by Yusaku Horiuchi
  • Claes Bäckman’s AI-research-feedback collection of Claude skills for academic research review
  • “My Claude Code Setup” by Pedro Sant’Anna - a how-to guide and forkable GH repo for getting started with building your own personal workflow
