What it does
dylantmoore-stata-skill is a Claude Code plugin bundle aimed at researchers, policy analysts, and indie builders who still ship serious quantitative work in Stata rather than only in Python. The skill steers the agent toward correct syntax, disciplined data management, and established econometric and causal-inference patterns so generated code matches how experienced Stata users structure projects. Coverage extends to graphics, Mata, and community packages—about twenty are in scope—so suggestions lean on real tooling instead of hand-wavy pseudo-code. The three-plugin bundle also touches compilation, debugging, optimization, and safety themes useful when do-files grow into production research pipelines. Solo operators wear every hat: designing a study, scoping identification, then implementing tables and figures; this plugin keeps Claude aligned with Stata idioms across those phases. Intermediate familiarity with Stata itself is assumed; the value is agent assistance that respects discipline-specific conventions.
Highlights
- Covers Stata syntax, data management, graphics, and Mata for agent-generated do-files
- Econometrics and causal inference guidance for defensible empirical workflows
- References roughly 20 community packages for idiomatic—not invented—Stata usage
- Plugin bundle (3 plugins) with development, debugging, and performance-oriented Stata helpers
- Cross-platform and packaging notes for installing skills alongside Stata/Stplugin workflows
Why builders use it
Generic coding agents hallucinate Stata syntax, misuse packages, and break reproducible empirical workflows.
After you install the skill bundle, Claude produces Stata code and do-file structure that align with data management, inference, and graphics practices you can actually run.
