SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Help researchers reproduce a published paper’s results in a Stata-based workflow by building an inventory of gold-standard targets, translating the original analysis faithfully, and performing tolerance-respecting comparisons to detect divergences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Replication protocol execution: Applies .claude/rules/replication-protocol.md end-to-end, including target inventorying and comparison.
  • Gold-standard targets with tolerances: Records table/figure targets (with MUST/SHOULD/MAY tiers) and explicit tolerance expectations for pass/fail decisions.
  • Stata translation and funnel debugging: Translates the original code line-by-line into project Stata dofiles and investigates discrepancies via sample restrictions, variable construction, SE/df adjustments, and command-default differences.

Example use case: starting from a paper where you want to verify a key ATT/ATE estimate and first-stage diagnostics, you replicate the targeted tables and produce a structured report indicating which targets passed within tolerance and which require investigation.

Quick Start

Run replicate on a paper by providing its short name or target file, for example: /replicate AbadieDiamondHainmueller2010.

Frequently Asked Questions about replicate

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I replicate a published paper's regression results in Stata?▼

To replicate regression results in Stata, you build an inventory of gold-standard targets, translate the original analysis line-by-line into Stata dofiles, and compare outputs using predefined tolerances to detect divergences.

What is tolerance checking in research replication workflows?▼

Tolerance checking in research replication compares your Stata output against gold-standard targets using explicit thresholds. It enforces PASS/FAIL reporting through log validation to determine if estimates match within acceptable bounds.

Why does my Stata replication produce different standard errors than the original paper?▼

Stata replications diverge from original papers due to sample restrictions, variable construction differences, standard error adjustments, degrees of freedom changes, and command-default differences, which require funnel debugging to investigate.

Can I use this replication protocol to audit any published econometrics paper?▼

Yes, the replication protocol applies when auditing a published paper, onboarding a new analysis by replicating first, or validating a method on a known benchmark, provided you can translate the analysis into a Stata pipeline.

What's the best way to verify a paper's ATT estimate and first-stage diagnostics?▼

The best way to verify an ATT estimate and first-stage diagnostics is to replicate the targeted tables using gold-standard targets with MUST/SHOULD/MAY tiers, producing a structured report indicating which estimates passed within tolerance.

How do I start a replication of a specific paper using the command line?▼

Start a replication by running the replicate command with a paper's short name or target file, such as /replicate AbadieDiamondHainmueller2010, to execute the end-to-end Stata pipeline protocol.
