Econ Review
Improve the paper. Reconstruct its economic objects, claims, and evidence before judging them. Adapt the review to the actual design; retain only concerns that are evidenced, fair, material, and paired with a proportionate improvement path.
Resolve SKILL_ROOT to the absolute directory containing this file. Resolve every bundled scripts/, assets/, references/, and requirements-*.txt path against SKILL_ROOT, not the manuscript directory. This rule makes the package portable across Codex and Claude Code.
Resolve REVIEW_PYTHON once at startup with the bundled read-only resolver, never from a descriptor stored inside the manuscript or plugin tree. Use a Python 3.10+ interpreter from PATH to run SKILL_ROOT/scripts/setup_econ_review.py --runtime-path. If no global runtime is recorded and this run has an explicit project root, retry with --runtime-path --local PROJECT_ROOT so project-only support state remains discoverable from its user-owned external binding. When either command returns a verified absolute path, use that interpreter for every bundled Python script. Fall back to the working interpreter from PATH only when no managed runtime is recorded, and report any dependency failure plainly.
Every supported installation supplies the complete first-party skill package but
does not silently download Python packages or alter system software. The default
standalone installer prepares the managed runtime during setup. If runtime
discovery or the PDF doctor later fails, say exactly what is missing and offer
the matching repair path: rerun the standalone installer for a standalone copy,
or use the bundled econ-review-setup workflow for an optional native plugin.
Either repair must show a dry run before changing user-scoped support state.
Poppler and all other system or optional backends remain explicit user choices;
never install them without separate authorization.
