## Description

End-to-end Stata replication pipeline, scaffolds numbered `.do` files in `scripts/stata/`, executes them via the `stata-mcp` MCP server, captures logs and outputs to `output/`, and produces publication-ready tables (esttab) and figures (graph export). Mirrors `/data-analysis` for R-first projects. Use when user says "stata replication", "set up Stata pipeline", "scaffold the .do files", "run Stata analysis", "AEA replication package in Stata", or when a project's analysis language is Stata not R.

# `/stata-replication`, Stata pipeline scaffold + execution

Build a complete Stata replication pipeline in `scripts/stata/`: numbered `.do` files following [`.claude/rules/stata-code-conventions.md`](../../rules/stata-code-conventions.md), executed via the [`stata-mcp`](https://github.com/SepineTam/stata-mcp) MCP server, with outputs landing in `output/`.

## When to use

- Your project's analysis language is **Stata** (not R). Common in econ field experiments, RCT studies, and any AEA submission where the original replication package is Stata.
- You're porting an R-first project to Stata for an AEA submission.
- You're adding a Stata robustness check to an R-first paper.
- You want a one-command reproduction: `do scripts/stata/99_run_all.do`.

## When NOT to use

- Your project is R-first. Use [`/data-analysis`](../data-analysis/SKILL.md).
- Your project is Python-first. Neither this skill nor `/data-analysis` is the right fit; consider extending the convention rule for Python or porting one of these skills.
- You're doing quick exploratory work. The numbered-pipeline scaffold is for replication packages, not scratch notebooks.

## Prerequisite: `stata-mcp` installed

This skill requires the `stata-mcp` MCP server. Install once per user:

```bash
claude mcp add stata-mcp --scope user -- uvx stata-mcp
```

The MCP server provides command-guarded Stata execution (refuses destructive operations like `!/shell/erase`), RAM monitoring, and Stata Language Server pairing. Maintained by SepineTam.

If `stata-mcp` is not installed, the skill halts at Phase 0 with installation instructions.
