This skill should be used when the user asks to "implement a DiD regression", "write a causal inference pipeline", "set up an event study", "implement instrumental variables", "run a regression discontinuity design", "build a synthetic control model", "implement propensity score matching", "write parallel trends test", "implement Bacon decomposition", or needs code templates for causal inference methods in Python, R, or Stata. Based on Scott Cunningham's Causal Inference: The Mixtape.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'causal-inference-mixtape' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'causal-inference-mixtape' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named causal-inference-mixtape already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8684584e7d1127940f018157d2c579974fae8f79' -- 'skills/10-Jill0099-causal-inference-mixtape' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/10-Jill0099-causal-inference-mixtape' ~/.agents/skills/'causal-inference-mixtape' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'causal-inference-mixtape' ~/.claude/skills/'causal-inference-mixtape' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
