What it does

Cre Identification is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when the empirical identification strategy is the bottleneck for a 《中国农村经济》 manuscript — micro-household / village-level quasi-experimental designs (DID, IV, RDD, PSM). Stress-tests the design and the rural-specific endogeneity before drafting tables.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Research & Science, covering Load testing and Experimental design. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Load testing
  • Tasks that involve Experimental design

Example prompts

  • “/cre-identification”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 农村政策冲击 + DID(含 staggered / continuous treatment)——如某项试点改革、确权、补贴政策的分批推行
  2. 断点回归——清晰的政策门槛(如贫困县划定线、补贴资格线、年龄门槛)
  3. 工具变量——强工具 + 排他性论证(处理农户自选择的核心武器)
  4. 倾向得分匹配 + DID(PSM-DID)——农村横截面 / 短面板的常见组合
  5. 合成控制法——村级 / 县级政策评估
  6. OLS + 严密的自选择讨论(仅在有强外生性论证或结构 / 理论实证时可接受)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Cre Identification loads about 602 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~602

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 169 words (~602 tokens).
