Reviewing a Stata do-file for reproducibility involves evaluating logging, naming, magic-number, and output-quality issues against project conventions. This generates a structured markdown quality report with a verdict, quality score, severity counts, and an actionable issue list with line references.

A Stata code review is an automated assessment of do-files that checks reproducibility, logging, naming, magic numbers, and output quality. It delegates to a reviewer agent to evaluate scripts against project conventions and can optionally apply targeted single-line fixes.

Yes, you can automatically fix issues found during a Stata do-file review. The process offers to apply targeted, high-confidence single-line fixes using a propose-then-apply pattern after generating the quality report with its actionable issue list.

Yes, the Stata review works with existing log files by locating the most recent stage log when available. It uses this optional log context alongside your do-file to assess reproducibility and output quality, producing a structured quality report.

The best way to validate an econometrics workflow in Stata is to run an automated do-file review that checks reproducibility, logging, naming, and output quality against project conventions. This produces a structured quality report with a verdict and severity counts for your analysis scripts.

You should run a pre-commit check on your Stata do-files when you have a project-stage analysis script ready for submission. The review identifies reproducibility and output-quality issues, ensuring your tables, figures, and logging follow conventions before committing changes.
