Econ review setup
Skill hanlulong/econ-paper-review-skill/econ-review/skills/econ-review-setup
Prepare, verify, repair, or refresh the user-owned Python runtime and local Review Desk used by an installed econ-review plugin. Use when the user installs econ-review from a marketplace, asks to finish setup, reports missing Python packages or Poppler, needs the Review Desk launcher, or wants to check installation readiness without creating duplicate Claude Code or Codex skill copies.From its SKILL.md

Set up Econ Review
Resolve PLUGIN_ROOT as the parent directory of the skills/ directory that
contains this setup skill. Use the standard-library setup tool at
PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup_econ_review.py. Do not copy the skill into an agent
home: marketplace installation already supplies it.
-
Find a working Python 3.10 or newer command with
venvand pip bootstrapping support already on the machine. Do not install Python, a package manager, a missingpython3-venvcomponent, or system software on your own. -
Choose global support setup unless the user explicitly requests one-project state. For global setup, run this exact operation first with
--dry-run:PYTHON PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup_econ_review.py --support-only --global --with-review-desk --dry-runFor project state, replace
--globalwith--local PROJECT_DIRECTORY. -
Summarize the dry run in plain language. State that applying it creates or refreshes a private econ-review virtual environment, may download the version-constrained Python packages declared by the plugin, and installs the already bundled, manifest-verified Review Desk. It does not install a second skill copy, use administrator access, or upload a manuscript.
-
Apply the same command without
--dry-runonly when the user has explicitly asked to install, finish, repair, or refresh setup, or confirms after seeing the plan. Do not treat a request merely to review a paper as authorization to download packages or change user-level state. -
Preserve the setup tool's exit distinction. Exit
0means the core runtime, PDF ingestion, and requested Review Desk passed. Exit2means the managed runtime and Review Desk may be ready but PDF ingestion is still incomplete, normally because Poppler is absent. Do not call that a failed plugin install. -
Never install Poppler, Tesseract, TeX, Pandoc, Node.js, an optional PDF backend, or any administrator-managed package automatically. If Poppler is missing, report the setup tool's platform-specific user-level options and ask separately before running a package-manager command.
-
Verify runtime discovery without changing files:
PYTHON PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup_econ_review.py --runtime-pathAfter project-only setup, pass the same project scope instead:
PYTHON PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup_econ_review.py --runtime-path --local PROJECT_DIRECTORYThis read-only resolver verifies and prints only the managed interpreter. Preserve the setup command's earlier PDF-doctor result and Review Desk launch command or URL when reporting overall readiness. Never expose package-index credentials or environment-secret values in the response.
-
When the user asks to uninstall support data, show
--cleanup-support --global --dry-run(or the matching--localscope) first. Apply the same scope with--confirm-cleanuponly after explicit confirmation. Explain that plugin removal alone retains the runtime, descriptor, and Review Desk, while cleanup leaves the plugin and any direct skill copy unchanged.
