Repository layout

This repo has two separate parts:

Folder	What it is	Install
`skills/`	Agent skills — markdown instructions (Stata, LaTeX, writing, etc.)	Copy folder to `~/.cursor/skills/`
`mcp/`	MCP servers — programs that connect agents to external data	`pip install` + register in Cursor/Claude + your credentials

Skills teach how to work. MCP servers give the agent live tools (e.g. run SQL on WRDS).

What this collection covers

Area	Skills	What you get
Econometrics & empirical data	6	Stata, R, Python panels, pyfixest, WRDS
Data & visualization	11	Econ figures, matplotlib/seaborn, polars, statsmodels, PyMC
Research & literature	13	Lit search, EDGAR, FRED/OpenEcon, financial NLP, scraping
Writing & review	16	econ-write, humanizer, slides, referee, LaTeX

46 core skills in the main catalog. Additional document, career, and specialty tools live in skills/optional/ if you need them.

Quick start

MCP servers (separate from skills)

MCP servers are not skills. They require installation, MCP registration, and often your own account credentials. See mcp/README.md.
