What it does

Event Study is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use this skill whenever the user wants to conduct an event study, create event study plots, test for parallel trends, implement difference-in-differences designs, or work with any panel data estimation that involves pre/post treatment comparisons. Trigger on phrases like "event study", "parallel trends", "pre-trends", "dynamic treatment effects", "leads and lags", "TWFE", "two-way fixed effects", "staggered adoption", "staggered treatment", "difference-in-differences", "DiD", "Sun and Abraham", "Callaway and…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `diagnostics-and-testing.md`, `modern-extensions.md` and `traditional-event-study.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Econometrics and empirical research and Data visualization. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库,覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to conduct an event study
  • Create event study plots
  • Test for parallel trends
  • Implement difference-in-differences designs

Example prompts

  • “event study”
  • “parallel trends”
  • “pre-trends”
  • “/event-study”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Is treatment timing the same for all treated units?
  2. Is there reason to expect heterogeneous treatment effects across cohorts or over time?
  3. What is the user's goal?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Event Study loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 209 tokens; SKILL.md has 782 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~209
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 782 words (~1,724 tokens).

“This skill covers everything needed to conduct event studies in R - from the traditional two-way fixed effects (TWFE) approach through modern robust estimators that handle staggered treatment timing and heterogeneous treatment effects.”
