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.

Cross-checks citation keys in index.qmd against references.bib, reporting missing, orphaned, and duplicate entries. Use when verifying citations.

Finds a paper by title, author, or DOI, adds BibTeX to references.bib, and shows citation syntax. Use when adding a reference.

Auto-generates a Markdown codebook from a dataset (CSV, DTA, Excel, Parquet) with types and summary statistics. Use when documenting variables.

Scans notebooks for data file references and verifies each file exists on disk. Use when checking for broken data paths.

Drafts academic prose for a manuscript section from bullet points or an outline. Use when writing or expanding a section.

Creates publication-quality economics figures with consistent academic styling. Use when creating or styling charts.

Checks whether registered notebooks have current, stale, or missing outputs. Use before rendering or to verify freshness.

Writes academic prose interpreting regression output. Use when describing estimation results in manuscript-ready language.

Conducts a structured literature review with search strategy, synthesis, and gap identification. Use when surveying a research area.

Creates a structured annotation note in references/ with sections for research question, data, findings, and relevance. Use when documenting a paper.

Scaffolds a method-specific analysis notebook (DiD, IV, RDD, LASSO, Panel FE) with boilerplate. Use when starting a new econometric analysis.

Creates a Quarto notebook (.qmd) and registers it in _quarto.yml. Use when adding a new notebook.

Drafts a point-by-point response letter to referee comments with suggested edits. Use after a revise-and-resubmit.

Formats estimation output as a publication-quality regression table with stars, SEs, and fit statistics. Use when creating a results table.

Generates research questions using four frameworks (Puzzle, Policy, Data, Extension). Use when brainstorming new directions.

Generates robustness check code and formats results as a combined table. Use for sensitivity analysis.

Runs pre-submission checks (word count, anonymization, citations, placeholders, cross-refs) and generates a checklist. Use before journal submission.

Verifies required tools (Quarto, uv, Python, R, Stata, TeX) and Jupyter kernels are installed. Use when setting up or troubleshooting.

Captures tool versions, packages, and kernel info as a reproducibility record in notes/. Use when documenting the environment.

Executes all registered notebooks via Quarto render. Use when asked to re-run notebooks or refresh outputs.

Generates an HTML gallery of all project figures with captions and source notebooks. Use when reviewing figures.

Writes a session handoff report to handoffs/ with project state, work done, decisions, and next steps. Use at session end or after significant work.

Fills all [FILL:] placeholders across the template to initialize a new research project. Use when setting up a freshly cloned project.

Creates a Quarto revealjs slide deck in slides/ with the project style guide. Use when a presentation is needed.

Runs the clean render pipeline (HTML, PDF, Word) via scripts/render.sh. Use when asked to render, build, or compile the manuscript.

Transfers prose edits from latex/index.tex (Overleaf) back into index.qmd. Use after pulling LaTeX edits from a collaborator.
