+# stata-cli skill
+
+Stata reference library built into stata-cli. Covers syntax, data management,
+econometrics, causal inference, graphics, Mata programming, and 20+ community
+packages. Use `stata-cli skill <topic>` to read a specific reference.
+
+## Critical Gotchas
+
+### Missing Values Sort to +Infinity
+Stata's `.` (and `.a`-`.z`) are **greater than all numbers**.
+```stata
+* WRONG — includes observations where income is missing!
+gen high_income = (income > 50000)
+
+* RIGHT
+gen high_income = (income > 50000) if !missing(income)
+```
+
+### `=` vs `==`
+`=` is assignment; `==` is comparison.
+```stata
+* WRONG — syntax error
+gen employed = 1 if status = 1
+
+* RIGHT
+gen employed = 1 if status == 1
+```
+
+### Local Macro Syntax
+Locals use `` `name' `` (backtick + single-quote). Globals use `$name`.
+```stata
+local controls "age education income"
+regress wage `controls'        // correct
+regress wage `controls         // WRONG — missing closing quote
+```
+
+### `by` Requires Prior Sort (Use `bysort`)
+```stata
+bysort id: gen first = (_n == 1)    // RIGHT — bysort sorts automatically
+```
+
+### Factor Variable Notation
+Use `i.` for categorical, `c.` for continuous.
+```stata
+* WRONG — treats race as continuous
+regress wage race education
+
+* RIGHT — creates dummies
+regress wage i.race education
+```
+
+### `merge` Always Check `_merge`
+```stata
+merge 1:1 id using other.dta
+tab _merge
+drop _merge
+```
+
+### Stored Results: `r()` vs `e()` vs `s()`
+- `r()` — r-class (summarize, tabulate)
+- `e()` — e-class (regress, logit)
+- `s()` — s-class (parsing)
+
+A new estimation command **overwrites** previous `e()` results. Use `estimates store`.
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Regression Table Workflow
+```stata
+eststo clear
+eststo: regress y x1 x2, vce(robust)
+eststo: regress y x1 x2 x3, vce(robust)
+esttab using "results.tex", replace se star(* 0.10 ** 0.05 *** 0.01) label booktabs
+```
+
+### Panel Data Setup
+```stata
+xtset panelid timevar
+reghdfe y x1 x2, absorb(panelid timevar) vce(cluster panelid)
+```
+
+### Difference-in-Differences
+```stata
+* Classic 2x2 DiD
+gen post = (year >= treatment_year)
+gen treat_post = treated * post
+regress y treated post treat_post, vce(cluster id)
+
+* Modern staggered DiD (Callaway & Sant'Anna)
+csdid y x1 x2, ivar(id) time(year) gvar(first_treat) agg(event)
+```
+
+### Data Cleaning Pipeline
+```stata
+import delimited "raw_data.csv", clear varnames(1)
+rename *, lower
+destring income, replace force
+replace income = . if income < 0
+label variable income "Annual household income (USD)"
+compress
+save "clean_data.dta", replace
+```
+
