CFPS-Panel-Data-Cleaning-Pipeline

How to configure, run, and extend this CFPS (China Family Panel Studies / 中国家庭追踪调查) Stata cleaning pipeline. Use this skill whenever the task touches the CFPS panel — setting up raw data paths, running 00_run.do, adding or changing a harmonized variable, adding a new survey wave/year, or repairing the code after CFPS republishes its data with renamed files or variables. Also use it for any "variable not found", "file not found", or missing-ado error coming out of these do-files, and whenever someone asks how a variable in cfps_ind.dta was constructed. The pipeline relies on naming conventions that are not enforced anywhere and fail silently when broken, so consult this skill before editing any .do file in this repo.
