Activate when users mention Stata commands, .do files, regressions, econometrics, stored results, graphs, dataset inspection, replication, or Stata errors. Route the task through mcp-stata tools and the specialized research skills instead of treating it as plain text coding.

Stata Toolkit Dispatcher
Use this skill as the default router for Stata work.
Confirm the mcp-stata MCP server is available.
Route quick tasks to the direct slash-style skills:
stata-run
stata-inspect
stata-results
stata-graph
stata-help
stata-log
stata-lint
Route research workflows to the specialized skills:
stata-data-audit
stata-environment-diagnose
stata-modernize
stata-publication-qa
stata-replication
stata-causal-inference
stata-table-builder
stata-power-analysis
stata-data-provenance
stata-referee-response
Use the MCP tools directly when the user needs ad hoc Stata execution or a mixed workflow.
Read these references when needed:
references/tool-reference.md for the tool map and identity response.
references/research-workflows.md for end-to-end economics workflows.
references/error-handling.md for log, rc, and background-task handling.
