Fine to try.

Parallel control variable combination search via Stata. Exhaustively searches all subsets of optional controls to find the combination that maximises |t| of the independent variable. Activates when user says: "控制变量搜索", "搜控制变量", "control variable search", "跑控制变量组合", "暴力搜索", "调控制变量".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

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

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'significance-search' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'significance-search' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named significance-search 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 "$d" checkout --quiet '8684584e7d1127940f018157d2c579974fae8f79' -- 'skills/67-econfin-workflow-toolkit/significance-search' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/67-econfin-workflow-toolkit/significance-search' ~/.agents/skills/'significance-search' && 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/'significance-search' ~/.claude/skills/'significance-search' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
