What it does

Restud Identification is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when selecting, implementing, or stress-testing the causal identification strategy for an empirical The Review of Economic Studies (REStud) manuscript — DID (incl. staggered), IV (incl. weak-IV-robust inference), RDD, synthetic control, shift-share, or RCT. Apply before writing results; for theory papers route to restud-theory-model.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Econometrics and empirical research and Load testing. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

Example prompts

  • “/restud-identification”

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

Restud Identification loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 642 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 642 words (~1,621 tokens).

“REStud was founded in 1933 to advance both theoretical and applied economics, and that balance is its signature: unlike a purely empirical top-5 outlet, REStud weighs design-based causal work and structural/theory-consistent identification on equal terms. So the bar is a…”
