What it does

Red Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when building or auditing the quantitative analysis behind a Review of Economic Dynamics (RED) manuscript — calibration, moment-matching, structural estimation, and numerical-solution discipline for dynamic models, plus reproducible-computation hygiene that the RED code-first culture expects. Lighter on raw empirics for purely theoretical papers; focused on numerical examples and reproducible computation there.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Performance reviews and Data analysis. It works with Model Context Protocol.

Example prompts

  • “/red-data-analysis”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. 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

Red Data Analysis loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 645 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
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.

Quantitative Analysis for RED (red-data-analysis)

When to trigger

  • Calibrating or estimating a dynamic model and reporting model-vs-data fit
  • Building the numerical experiments that carry a computational paper
  • Making the computation reproducible ahead of the RED data/code archive

What RED-quality analysis looks like

RED is method-defined, so "data analysis" usually means disciplining a dynamic model, and for purely theoretical papers it is lighter — focus there on numerical examples and reproducible computation that illustrate the result rather than estimate it.

  • Calibration — list every parameter, its value, its source/target, and whether it is calibrated, estimated, or assumed. Calibration targets should be explicit moments, not vibes.
  • Moment-matching / estimation — report the targeted moments, the fit (model vs data), and untargeted moments the model also matches (a strong credibility signal). Document the estimator and its assumptions.
  • Numerical solution discipline — state the solution method (perturbation, projection, global, EGM, sequence-space), the grid/approximation order, and an accuracy check (e.g., Euler-equation errors).
  • Reproducible computation — fix and record random seeds, capture software/OS and package versions, and write a master "run-all" script. RED's readme requires execution order, expected runtime, and seeds, so build that discipline in from the start.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. RED is quantitative macro — mostly structural/calibration, which is outside this causal-inference toolchain; apply the chain to its empirical/reduced-form papers.

  • Many outcomes / specifications: romano_wolf (step-down FWER) or benjamini_hochberg.
  • OVB sensitivity: oster_delta / sensemakr.
  • Inference: wild_cluster_bootstrap (few clusters), twoway_cluster / conley.
  • Re-fit off one handle: audit_result(result_id) lists missing checks + the exact suggest_function for each.
  • Exhibits: etable / did_summary_to_latex from the handle — no retyped numbers.

Decisive checks in the body, exhaustive battery in the appendix. JF execution walkthrough.

Checklist

  • Every parameter has a value and a documented source/target
  • Targeted and untargeted moments reported; model-vs-data fit shown
  • Solution method, approximation order, and an accuracy check are stated
  • Seeds fixed/recorded; environment captured; a run-all script exists

Anti-patterns

  • Reporting only the moments the model was calibrated to hit
  • An undocumented numerical solution with no accuracy diagnostic
  • Leaving seeds and environment uncaptured, so the archive will not reproduce

RED analysis table skeleton

Require a compact audit table before results are written:

ItemRED-ready entry
Parametersvalue, source/target, calibrated vs estimated vs assumed
Data momentstargeted moments plus untargeted validation moments
Solvermethod, grid/order, convergence rule, accuracy diagnostic
Experimentsbaseline, counterfactual, transition path, sensitivity
Archiverun-all command, seeds, software/OS, expected runtime

This table can become a manuscript table, appendix table, or replication README section. If it cannot be filled, the quantitative core is not ready for RED.

Illustrative calibration record (Aiyagari-style economy)

Both the paper and the archive should carry a calibration record in this shape (values illustrative):

text
Internally calibrated (chosen to hit model-generated targets):
  beta  = 0.957   target: K/Y = 2.9 (annual)                     model hits: 2.90
  phi   = -1.1    target: share with negative net worth = 13.5%  model hits: 13.2%
Externally set (taken from outside estimates):
  sigma = 2.0     CRRA; standard in the incomplete-markets literature (author-year)
  rho_z = 0.91    AR(1) earnings persistence, PSID estimates (author-year)
Accuracy at this parameterization:
  max log10 |Euler error| = -4.6, 200-pt log-spaced asset grid, a_max = 40x mean income

Separating internally calibrated from externally set parameters matters at RED: referees check whether each internal target is actually informative about its parameter, and whether external values are sourced rather than convenient.

Moment-fit objections and the RED-grade response

ObjectionFix
"Targets are not independent of the moment you claim to explain"re-calibrate with the headline moment excluded; report it as untargeted
"Fit shown only for targeted moments"add an untargeted panel (wealth Gini, top shares, MPC distribution)
"No accuracy diagnostic at the headline solution"Euler or den Haan errors at exactly that parameterization
"Grid and discretization undocumented"state grid sizes, bounds, Rouwenhorst/Tauchen choice, and a grid-doubling stability check

Minimum reproducible run

Before submission, maintain two runs:

  • Smoke run: reduced grid or shorter simulation that completes quickly and verifies code paths.
  • Publication run: full grid, full simulation length, final seeds, final moments, and final exhibits.

Both runs should write comparable output names and logs. If the smoke run and publication run disagree in qualitative direction, the numerical method needs diagnosis before the paper is ready. Record expected runtime for both because RED's readme requirement makes runtime part of the archive, not an afterthought.

Output format

text
[Analysis status] ready / missing moments / weak solver diagnostics / unreproducible
[Calibration/estimation] <targets, parameters, estimator>
[Numerical checks] <solver, accuracy, convergence, sensitivity>
[Archive readiness] run-all / seeds / OS / runtime / missing
[Next analysis] <single computation or table to repair>
