Install Stata Setup

skills CLI
$ npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill stata-setup -a claude-code

Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI
$ gh skill install majiayu000/claude-skill-registry stata-setup --agent claude-code

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry.git skills-src && mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -r skills-src/skills/bash/stata-setup .claude/skills/stata-setup && rm -rf skills-src

Use ~/.claude/skills/ instead of .claude/skills for a personal install. The folder must contain SKILL.md.

What it does

Stata Setup is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Install, configure, update, or verify mcp-stata across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. Activate when users ask to set up the Stata toolkit or troubleshoot the installation.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Econometrics and empirical research. It works with Model Context Protocol, Visual Studio Code and Bash. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • S ask to set up the Stata toolkit
  • Troubleshoot the installation

Example prompts

  • “/stata-setup”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Stata discovery and edition
  2. uv / uvx availability
  3. package availability for reghdfe and gtools
  4. graph-export readiness
  5. log-path emission for command output
  6. startup/profile behavior

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. 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:

    • bash

    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

Stata Setup loads about 516 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~516

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.

description
Install, configure, update, or verify mcp-stata across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. Activate when users ask to set up the Stata toolkit or troubleshoot the installation.

Setup and Verification

Use the shared installer and verification flow instead of hand-writing per-agent config unless the user explicitly asks for manual steps.

Preferred Install Commands

Project-shared install:

bash
bash plugin/install.sh --scope project

Personal install:

bash
bash plugin/install.sh --scope user

Specific agent:

bash
bash plugin/install.sh --agent codex

Pin a version if a lab wants to:

bash
bash plugin/install.sh --version 2.5.1

Offline/local source:

bash
bash plugin/install.sh --local-source /path/to/mcp-stata

Live verification:

bash
bash plugin/install.sh --verify

What the Installer Does

  • Uses the canonical server id mcp-stata
  • Writes project-scoped configs where the client supports them
  • Falls back to user-scoped config where project scope is not first-class
  • Installs Codex skills into the Codex skills directory
  • Installs the Gemini extension from plugin/gemini-extension.json
  • Registers shared ~/.agents/skills/mcp-stata symlinks for compatible agents
  • Supports latest-by-default installs and explicit version pinning

Verification Standard

When the user asks whether setup is complete, verify more than “the file exists”:

  1. Stata discovery and edition
  2. uv / uvx availability
  3. package availability for reghdfe and gtools
  4. graph-export readiness
  5. log-path emission for command output
  6. startup/profile behavior

If live verification is not possible on the current machine, state exactly what remains unverified.

Troubleshooting

  • If Stata is not discovered, tell the user to set STATA_PATH.
  • If a user-managed machine blocks temp files, logs, or graph export, use the stata-environment-diagnose skill.
  • If project-wide configs are undesirable, re-run with --scope user.
