estimate

Run a structural estimation pipeline — routes to /workflows:work with estimation context from empirical-playbook

game-theory

This skill covers game-theoretic methods in structural econometrics and industrial organization. Use when the user is working with strategic interactions, equilibrium analysis, or game-theoretic structural models — including entry games, conduct testing,…

identification-proofs

This skill covers formal identification arguments and proofs in structural and reduced-form econometrics. Use when the user needs to prove or formalize that a parameter is identified — including writing identification propositions, stating regularity…

lfg

Full autonomous research workflow — brainstorm, plan, implement, review, and document

publication-output

This skill covers publication-quality tables and figures for academic research papers. Use when formatting regression results, summary statistics, Monte Carlo output, or research visualizations for LaTeX inclusion. Triggers on "table", "figure", "tabulate",…

replicate

Build and verify replication packages — routes to reproducibility-auditor agent

reproducible-pipelines

This skill covers reproducible research pipelines and replication packages. Use when the user is setting up a research project directory structure, configuring workflow managers (Make, Snakemake, DVC), managing computational environments, preparing…

slfg

Full autonomous research workflow using swarm mode for parallel execution

structural-modeling

This skill covers structural econometric models. Use when the user is building, estimating, or debugging structural models — including BLP demand estimation, dynamic discrete choice, auction models, or any workflow involving moment conditions, nested…

submission-guide

This skill covers academic journal submission, referee responses, and revision management. Use when the user is preparing a manuscript for submission, formatting for a specific journal, responding to referees, or managing revisions. Triggers on "submit",…

workflows-brainstorm

Explore methodological approaches through structured analysis before planning implementation

workflows-compound

Document a recently solved research problem to compound methodological knowledge

workflows-ideate

Divergent research ideation — generate many candidate directions, then adversarially filter to the strongest

workflows-plan

Transform research descriptions into well-structured implementation plans following project conventions

workflows-review

Run multi-agent econometric review on estimation code, identification arguments, and research artifacts

workflows-work

Execute research implementation plans efficiently while maintaining estimation quality and finishing features

commit

Stage, commit, create PR, and merge to main. Use for the standard commit-PR-merge cycle.

compile-latex

Compile a Beamer LaTeX slide deck with XeLaTeX (3 passes + bibtex). Use when compiling lecture slides.

context-status

Show current context status and session health. Use to check how much context has been used, whether auto-compact is approaching, and what state will be preserved.

create-lecture

Create new Beamer lecture from papers and materials. Guided workflow with notation consistency.

data-analysis

End-to-end R data analysis workflow from exploration through regression to publication-ready tables and figures

deep-audit

Deep consistency audit of the entire repository infrastructure. Launches 4 parallel specialist agents to find factual errors, code bugs, count mismatches, and cross-document inconsistencies. Then fixes all issues and loops until clean. Use when: after making…

deploy

Render Quarto slides and sync to docs/ for GitHub Pages deployment. Use when deploying lecture slides after making changes.

devils-advocate

Challenge slide design with 5-7 pedagogical questions. Checks ordering, prerequisites, and cognitive load.

extract-tikz

Extract TikZ diagrams from Beamer source, compile to PDF, convert to SVG with 0-based indexing. Use when updating TikZ diagrams for Quarto slides.

interview-me

Interactive interview to formalize a research idea into a structured specification with hypotheses and empirical strategy

learn

Extract reusable knowledge from the current session into a persistent skill. Use when you discover something non-obvious, create a workaround, or develop a multi-step workflow that future sessions would benefit from.

lit-review

Structured literature search and synthesis with citation extraction and gap identification

pedagogy-review

Run holistic pedagogical review on lecture slides. Checks narrative arc, student prerequisites, worked examples, notation clarity, and deck pacing.

proofread

Run the proofreading protocol on lecture files. Checks grammar, typos, overflow, consistency, and academic writing quality. Produces a report without editing files.

qa-quarto

Adversarial Quarto vs Beamer QA. Critic finds issues, fixer applies fixes, loops until APPROVED (max 5 rounds).

research-ideation

Generate structured research questions, testable hypotheses, and empirical strategies from a topic or dataset

review-paper

Comprehensive manuscript review covering argument structure, econometric specification, citation completeness, and potential referee objections

review-r

Run the R code review protocol on R scripts. Checks code quality, reproducibility, domain correctness, and professional standards. Produces a report without editing files.

slide-excellence

Multi-agent slide review (visual, pedagogy, proofreading). Use for comprehensive quality check before milestones.

translate-to-quarto

Translate Beamer LaTeX to Quarto RevealJS. Multi-phase workflow with TikZ extraction and QA.

validate-bib

Validate bibliography entries against citations in all lecture files. Find missing entries and unused references.

visual-audit

Perform adversarial visual audit of Quarto or Beamer slides checking for overflow, font consistency, box fatigue, and layout issues.

causal-inference-r

Run IV, DiD, and RDD analyses in R with proper diagnostics. Use when implementing causal inference methods, event studies, or treatment effect estimation.

commit

Stage, commit, create PR, and merge to main. Use for the standard commit-PR-merge cycle.
