bayesian-estimation

by James-Traina

Guide for Bayesian estimation and inference in quantitative social science. Use when the user is specifying priors, running MCMC, diagnosing chain convergence, or reporting posterior summaries — including hierarchical models, Bayesian structural models, and small-sample settings where priors regularize. Triggers on "Bayesian estimation", "Bayesian inference", "MCMC", "Markov chain Monte Carlo", "Stan", "PyMC", "NumPyro", "prior", "posterior", "credible interval", "Bayesian structural", "Bayesian BLP", "Bayesian DSGE", "hierarchical model", "random effects Bayesian", "posterior predictive check", "Bayes factor", "prior predictive check", "NUTS", "HMC", "Hamiltonian Monte Carlo", "R-hat", "rhat", "effective sample size", "ESS", "Bayesian calibration", "posterior distribution", "prior elicitation", "weakly informative prior", "brms", "rstanarm", "cmdstanpy", "pymc", "arviz".

git-worktree

by James-Traina

"Manages Git worktrees for isolated parallel research work — running concurrent estimation specifications, comparing identification strategies side-by-side, or isolating experimental numerical code. Use when you need parallel branches for different estimators (NFXP vs MPEC), want to run multiple robustness specifications simultaneously, need isolation for risky numerical experiments, or when /workflows:work needs concurrent execution paths."

compound-catalog

by James-Traina

Capture solved research problems as categorized documentation with YAML frontmatter for fast lookup. Use when a methodological, estimation, or data problem has been solved and should be documented for future reference. Triggers on "that worked", "it's fixed", "problem solved", "estimation converges now", "proof is complete", "pipeline runs", or when /workflows:compound invokes solution documentation. Also triggered by "document this solution", "save this fix", "log this resolution".
