What it does

Python Econ Computing is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Use when writing Python code for DSGE models, HANK models, numerical economic computation, causal inference, or quantitative economic data analysis

Its SKILL.md is about 7.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README-original.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Econometrics and empirical research, Statistics and Data analysis. It works with Python and statsmodels. 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

  • Writing Python code for DSGE models
  • Numerical economic computation
  • Causal inference
  • Quantitative economic data analysis

Example prompts

  • “/python-econ-computing”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Data & Descriptive Statistics
  2. Identification Strategy
  3. Baseline Regression
  4. Parallel Trends: Event Study Plots
  5. Parallel Trends Sensitivity: HonestDiD
  6. Rule Out Alternative Explanations
  7. Robustness Checks
  8. Heterogeneous Treatment Effects
  9. Mechanism Analysis
  10. Welfare & Policy Implications
  11. Full Workflow Summary

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pip

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Python Econ Computing loads about 7.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,186 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~7.9k

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 1,186 words (~7,853 tokens).

“Best practices for macroeconomic modeling (DSGE/HANK), causal inference, and data analysis in Python. Core principle: vectorize first, accelerate loops with Numba, keep code structure aligned with economic theory.”
