# Causal Inference

Use this skill when the question is causal, not merely predictive.

1. Clarify the identification strategy.
2. Check the right diagnostics and assumptions for the design.
3. Separate point estimates from identification credibility.

Read `references/designs.md` for design-specific guidance.
