identification-proofs
This skill covers formal identification arguments and proofs in structural and reduced-form econometrics. Use when the user needs to prove or formalize that a parameter is identified — including writing identification propositions, stating regularity conditions, deriving rank conditions, or showing observational equivalence fails. Triggers on "identification proof", "identification argument", "identify the parameter", "show identification", "identification condition", "exclusion restriction proof", "rank condition", "order condition", "identification strategy formal", "nonparametric identif

# Identification Proofs Reference for writing formal and informal identification arguments: from stating the target parameter precisely, through deriving the identification result, to connecting it to a feasible estimator. **Detail files** (load on demand): - `references/derivation-tools.md` — IFT approach, completeness, worked proofs for LATE/RDD/DiD/BLP - `references/proof-template.md` — LaTeX a

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill identification-proofs --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.
