Economic research involves complex, repetitive workflowsβfrom data cleaning in Stata to writing LaTeX papers. AI skills automate these workflows while preserving methodological rigor.
Skills help you:
- π Clean and transform data faster (Stata, R, Python)
- π Write mathematical models in LaTeX
- π¬ Run econometric analyses with proper diagnostics
- π Draft papers following journal conventions
- π― Create publication-quality visualizations
Skills work with multiple AI coding assistants:
| Tool | Skill Location | Setup |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/ |
Docs |
| Cursor | ~/.cursor/skills/ |
Docs |
| Gemini CLI | ~/.gemini/skills/ |

# Clone a skill to your tools directory
# Example for Claude Code:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/analysis/r-econometrics ~/.claude/skills/Invoke skills via slash commands or natural language:
/r-econometrics Run a DiD analysis on my treatment data
