What it does
Stata is an agent skill from dylantmoore/stata-skill. Comprehensive Stata reference for writing correct .do files, data management, econometrics, causal inference, graphics, Mata programming, and 20 community packages (reghdfe, estout, did, rdrobust, etc.). Covers syntax, options, gotchas, and idiomatic patterns. Use this skill whenever the user asks you to write, debug, or explain Stata code.
Its SKILL.md is about 4.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 60 other files, including reference files (for example `packages/asdoc.md`, `packages/binsreg.md` and `packages/coefplot.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Econometrics and empirical research. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code skill for writing correct, idiomatic Stata code — covers syntax, data management, econometrics, causal inference, graphics, Mata, and 20 community packages.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks you to write
- Explain Stata code
Example prompts
- “/stata”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33a7efc. 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 (its code samples are stata and 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 loads about 4.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~122k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,204 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 1,204 words (~4,194 tokens).
“You have access to comprehensive Stata reference files. Do not load all files. Read only the 1-3 files relevant to the user's current task using the routing table below.”

Questions about Stata
What does Stata do?
Comprehensive Stata reference for writing correct .do files, data management, econometrics, causal inference, graphics, Mata programming, and 20 community packages (reghdfe, estout, did, rdrobust…. Stata is an agent skill from dylantmoore/stata-skill.).
When should I use Stata?
Stata fits situations like: the user asks you to write; explain Stata code.
How do I install Stata in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add dylantmoore/stata-skill --skill stata -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/stata/skills/stata in dylantmoore/stata-skill) into .claude/skills/stata in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Stata in Codex?
Run `npx skills add dylantmoore/stata-skill --skill stata -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/stata/skills/stata in dylantmoore/stata-skill) into .agents/skills/stata in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Stata in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add dylantmoore/stata-skill --skill stata -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/stata, .gemini/skills/stata, .github/skills/stata and .opencode/skills/stata in your project.
What does Stata need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Stata is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Stata access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Stata safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Stata use?
Stata has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Stata use?
About 4.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 17k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 118k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
