The long-form foundation for install, pricing, permissions, context, plans, skills, MCPs, subagents, and the review habits that make Claude Code usable for research.
AI Agents for Economics Research
A practical introduction for economists who want to use AI agents for literature review, coding, data work, replication, writing, and slides without needing an enterprise-sized budget on day one.
How to Create a Stata Skill in Claude Code
Set up Claude Code for Stata by putting Stata on PATH, creating a reusable Stata skill, and handling PDF docs efficiently with pandoc, pdfgrep, and pdfplumber.
Which Agentic Coding Tool Should Social Scientists Use in 2026?
Comparison of Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex for economists and social scientists - which tool fits your workflow.
An intro to agentic coding for economists
