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.

Run pre-submission checks and generate a submission checklist for a journal submission.
Render the manuscript if _manuscript/ does not exist or is stale:
bash scripts/render.sh
Word count — Count words in the prose body of index.qmd:
Anonymization check — Scan index.qmd for content that may violate double-blind review:
author field) appearing in the body textCitation audit — Cross-check citations and references:
@key and [@key] citations from index.qmdreferences.bib.bib (errors).bib not cited in the manuscript (unused — informational only)Figures and tables inventory — List all embedded outputs:
{{< embed >}} shortcodes from index.qmdPlaceholder check — Scan for orphan [FILL:] placeholders in index.qmd:
grep -n "\[FILL:" index.qmd
Report each with line number and context.
Cross-reference check — Scan for @sec-, @fig-, @tbl- references in index.qmd and verify each target exists (section IDs in the document, figure/table labels in notebooks).
