⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (SKILL.md not found in repo tree). The test below is what we measured on Jul 17, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
The catalog is real: catalog/skills.json holds 1,151 valid entries keyed by qualified_name with paths, and a DiD event-study request routes correctly to skills/50-brycewang-aer-skills and the causal-inference-mixtape collection. But it is a router that only defers to child skills, so it produced no measurable output edge over a direct answer, and installing it means copying a 37k-file repo as one skill; a shallow clone even leaves the 69-Paper-WorkFlow submodule target empty.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 5/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Auto-Empirical Research Skills Router does
A root router skill for the AERS mono-repo: it classifies an empirical-research request by stage and method, then loads the single best-matching vendored child skill instead of reading the whole catalog. Covers causal inference, econometrics (DiD, IV, RDD, SCM, panel FE), replication, citation checking, manuscript writing, and de-AIGC editing. Use when the entire repository is installed as one skill.
How to install Auto-Empirical Research Skills Router
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
Commands — how to trigger Auto-Empirical Research Skills Router
-
/auto-empirical-research-skillsRouter over 1,151 vendored empirical-research skills for causal inference and econometrics
It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:
-
I need to run a staggered difference-in-differences event study. -
Find me the right econometrics method for this panel fixed-effects question. -
Route this causal inference request to the best matching research skill.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Auto-Empirical Research Skills Router skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
