Based on SOC occupation classification
Scaffold a Quarto analysis notebook (generic or method-specific — DiD, IV, RDD, LASSO, Panel FE), register it in _quarto.yml, apply publication-quality figure styling, and generate dataset codebooks. Use when starting a new analysis notebook.
Manage the project's literature workflow — ideate research questions, run structured literature reviews, add citations to references.bib, write annotation notes in references/, and audit citation integrity. Use for any bibliography or literature task.
Audit a Quarto manuscript or a single notebook — freeze freshness, data-path existence, citation integrity, figure/table export presence, placeholder and anonymization checks. Produces a scored review report under notes/. Read-only — never modifies notebooks, data, or the manuscript.
Build publication-quality regression and robustness tables from notebook estimation output, exported to tables/ as CSV + Markdown + LaTeX. Use when creating a results table.
Draft and revise manuscript prose for index.qmd — sections, the abstract, regression-result interpretation, and referee responses. Use when writing or revising the manuscript.
Reads the manuscript and notebooks to generate a structured abstract. Use when writing or updating the abstract.

Verify that all required tools and dependencies are installed and correctly configured.
Check each required tool and report its version (or "not found"):
| Tool | Command | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Quarto | quarto --version | >= 1.4 |
| uv | uv --version | any |
| Python | python3 --version | >= 3.12 |
| R | R --version | optional |
| Stata | which stata | optional |
| TeX Live | pdflatex --version | optional (for PDF) |
| GitHub CLI | gh --version | optional |
Check Jupyter kernels by running uv run jupyter kernelspec list and verify:
python3 — requiredir — optional (needed for R notebooks)nbstata — optional (needed for Stata notebooks)Check the Python virtual environment:
.venv/ existsuv run python -c "import numpy; import pandas; import matplotlib; print('Core packages OK')" to confirm importabilityCheck nbstata configuration (if nbstata kernel is present):
~/.config/nbstata/nbstata.conf existsstata_dir points to an existing directoryReport a structured results table:

Use PASS / FAIL / SKIP (SKIP for optional tools that are absent).
If any required check fails, provide the installation command or link to fix it.
