What it does

Econometric Research Writing is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. End-to-end econometric analysis and economics/management paper-writing workflow. Use for data-grounded research grilling or mock defense, stress-testing research designs and identification strategies, dataset profiling, model selection (panels, IV, GMM, DiD, time-series, volatility, regimes), literature/citation verification, academic prose polishing, and publication-style Word DOCX reports with native OMML equations and three-line tables. Trigger when users ask to be grilled, questioned, challenged, or walked…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 28 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/data-analysis-workflow.md` and `references/docx-workflow.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Econometrics and empirical research, Word documents and Forecasting and time series. It works with Microsoft Word. 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

  • Data-grounded research grilling
  • Stress-testing research designs and identification strategies
  • Dataset profiling
  • Model selection (panels

Example prompts

  • “/econometric-research-writing”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. For topic, identification, model choice, or method fit, read references/method-selection.md.
  2. For research grilling, mock defense, data-grounded questioning, knowledge-adaptive explanation, or stress-testing a proposed empirical…
  3. For single-series, multivariate time-series, nonstationarity, VAR, threshold, kernel, GARCH/ARCH, Markov-switching, or time-varying…
  4. For static FE/RE, Mundlak/Hausman, GLS variance components, dynamic panels, heterogeneous slopes, panel trends, binary panels, panel VAR…
  5. For IV, dynamic-panel IV/GMM, panel treatment effects, synthetic counterfactuals, DiD/event-study logic, or causal claim boundaries, read…
  6. For RDD, fuzzy RDD, propensity score matching, IPW, doubly robust weighting, PSM-DiD, or IPW-DiD, read references/rdd-matching-methods.md.
  7. For dataset intake, variable profiling, agent-decided semantic roles, model-ready checks, executable descriptive statistics, baseline…
  8. For regression workflow, robustness, tables, or reproducibility, read references/empirical-workflow.md.
  9. For table/figure style, regression tables, descriptive tables, event-study figures, coefficient plots, visual QA, or top-journal layout…
  10. For paper search, literature review, source provenance, citation honesty, reference formatting, data/code citations, or Word superscript…
  11. For abstract, introduction, empirical strategy, results, robustness, conclusion, or style polishing, read references/econ-writing-style.md.
  12. For Word output, formulas, rendering, superscript citation markers, or document QA, read references/docx-workflow.md.

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

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    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

Econometric Research Writing loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~32k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 156 tokens; SKILL.md has 960 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~156
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~32k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 960 words (~2,380 tokens).

“Use this skill to turn a research question, dataset, assignment, draft, result table, or literature need into a rigorous econometric analysis and a standard economics/management paper-style Word document. The skill combines method selection, empirical workflow, modular econometric method references, field-specific…”
