Stata CLI

What it does

Stata CLI exposes Stata (requires Stata 17+) to the command line and to AI agents. It runs Stata commands and .do files, inspects datasets and matrices, retrieves stored results (r(), e(), s()), and offers a daemon mode for sub-second execution. The skill includes a built-in reference library covering data management, econometrics, graphics, Mata programming, and community packages.

When to use it

Use this when an agent needs to run statistical workflows, execute reproducible Stata scripts, retrieve regression results programmatically, or inspect and filter tabular data from the command line. Good for prototyping econometric analyses, automating reporting, or integrating Stata steps into larger AI-driven pipelines.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled in the repo snapshot (has_scripts=false) but the CLI exposes run/do/return/matrix commands.
• References: reference-style help and a 57-topic internal 'skill' library covering common pitfalls and patterns.
• Instructions: install via pip, detect Stata path, run code or .do files, use daemon for low-latency calls, and commands for retrieving r()/e()/s() results and matrices.

Compatible agents

Best used by agents that can run shell CLIs (Copilot-like or CLI-capable agents) and by automation systems that can call Python/CLI tools. Works well with agents that can stream or parse JSON output for structured results.
