causal-inference
Production-grade Bayesian causal inference with PyMC, CausalPy, and DoWhy. Enforces DAG-first thinking, mandatory user checkpoints for assumptions, design-specific refutation, and defensible reporting with causal language guardrails. Trigger on: causal inference, causal effect estimation, treatment effects, counterfactuals, difference-in-differences (DiD), synthetic control, regression discontinuity (RDD), interrupted time series (ITS), instrumental variables (IV), propensity scores, DAGs, causal graphs, confounders, backdoor criterion, do-calculus, interventional distributions, pm.do(), pm.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Causal Inference ## Dependencies This skill requires the **bayesian-workflow** skill for all PyMC modeling steps (priors, sampling, diagnostics, calibration, reporting). Detect it: ```bash ls ~/.claude/skills/bayesian-workflow/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null || ls .claude/skills/bayesian-workflow/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null ``` If not found, install it: ```bash git clone https://github.com/Learning-Bayesian-Stati
What does the causal-inference skill do?
Production-grade Bayesian causal inference with PyMC, CausalPy, and DoWhy. Enforces DAG-first thinking, mandatory user checkpoints for assumptions, design-specific refutation, and defensible reporting with causal language guardrails. Trigger on: causal inference, causal effect estimation, treatment effects, counterfactuals, difference-in-differences (DiD), synthetic control, regression discontinuity (RDD), interrupted time series (ITS), instrumental variables (IV), propensity scores, DAGs, causal graphs, confounders, backdoor criterion, do-calculus, interventional distributions, pm.do(), pm.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill causal-inference --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
