Traction scoreGitHub stars can be faked, so popularity alone can be misleading. Traction Score looks for broader signs of recent attention, adoption, and active maintenance.
TL;DR

This collection provides a structured framework for quantitative social scientists and applied economists to manage the full lifecycle of empirical research. It streamlines the transition from raw data acquisition through causal inference and econometrics to the production of publication-ready manuscripts.

WHO IT'S FOR
Quantitative social scientists
automating end-to-end empirical analysis workflows
Applied economists
generating publication-ready econometric tables and figures
Academic researchers
managing causal inference and replication tasks
AI agent builders
integrating empirical research capabilities into IDEs

1161 skill files

Compatible AgentsThe repository documents support for these agents. The skills may also work with other agents that can load SKILL.md files, but they may need some setup or small changes.

Use this skill collection

Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.

Give it something to do.

Suggested first task

Run a replication-package preflight

Uses replicate

  • Project directory or replication target
  • Expected outputs or reference results, if available

Check the repository for this skill’s setup.

Use the replicate skill to inspect the project at [PROJECT_DIRECTORY]. Start with a concise preflight covering seeds, software versions, paths, pipeline integrity, data documentation, environment documentation, and whether expected outputs can be matched. Report the most important issues and proposed next checks without modifying files.
Suggested first task

Create an initial literature map

Uses lit-review

  • Topic, paper title, or research question
  • Optional supporting-papers directory
  • Optional existing BibTeX files

Check the repository for this skill’s setup.

Use the lit-review skill for [TOPIC_OR_RESEARCH_QUESTION]. Produce a concise initial literature map organized into theoretical contributions, empirical findings, methodological innovations, and open debates. Include a small set of relevant citations, distinguish working papers from published papers, note empirical identification strategies, and explicitly flag any citation that cannot be verified. Check [SUPPORTING_PAPERS_DIRECTORY] and existing .bib files if provided.
Suggested first task

Draft a power-analysis brief

Uses stata-power-analysis

  • Study design
  • Estimand
  • Target effect size
  • Available assumptions or pilot estimates

Check the repository for this skill’s setup.

Use the stata-power-analysis skill to draft a concise power-analysis brief for [STUDY_DESIGN]. Clarify the estimand and target effect size, list the assumptions required for the calculation, and explain what additional inputs are needed to estimate power, minimum detectable effect, or sample size. Distinguish prospective power analysis from ex post rationalization.
