Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Synthetic control An opinionated synthetic-control workflow grounded in a read canon (references/canon.md): Abadie's JEL survey, the practice manual by the method's originator, with the synthetic-DiD bridge and the DiD-vs-SC boundary supplied by the Arkhangelsky-Imbens panel survey (shared with the did skill). Deliverable: the recommendation with its citation, the R estimation and diagnostics code, and a methods paragraph. The skill stops at the four stop points in ../causal-design/references/shared-rules.md (section "Stop points") and puts each choice to the user. Current as of 2026-10-09; refresh per shared-rules (../causal-design/references/shared-rules.md, section "Refresh path"). Nothing enters the canon without the user's approval. ## Which precedent your design looks like | Design shape | Canonical case | Marketing analogue | What kills it | |---|---|---|---| | One treated region, outcome co-moves across regions | Basque terrorism (Abadie and Gardeazabal 2003) | a single-market launch | donors whose outcome does not co-move with the treated region | …

How to install
mdr add ericluo04/claude-academic-workflow/synthetic-control@sha256:88f40015eb203839The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.2e28914, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
