run-stata

通过将 Stata 代码复制到 tempdo.do 文件并执行该文件，即可运行 Stata 代码。当用户希望运行 Stata 代码、测试图表、执行 do 文件中的某段代码，或进行回归分析时，可采用此方法。这一变通方案能够确保图表正确显示，并使包含 /// 的多行命令正常运作。

description: Run Stata code by copying it into tempdo.do and executing the file. Use this when the user wants to run Stata code, test a figure, execute a do-file section, or run regressions. This workaround ensures graphs display correctly and multi-line commands with /// work properly.

Running Stata Code

Overview

This skill runs Stata code by:

  1. •Preserving line 1 of tempdo.do (which sources setup_paths.do)
  2. •Replacing the rest of tempdo.do with the code to run
  3. •Executing tempdo.do as a complete file via Stata MCP

This workaround addresses two Stata MCP limitations:

  • •Graphs only display when running entire files (not selections)
  • •Line continuation with /// doesn't work with Run Selection

Instructions

When the user asks you to run Stata code:

  1. •

    Read the current tempdo.do to get line 1 (the setup_paths.do include)

    • •Location: FRRS_code/src/tempdo.do
    • •Line 1 should be: do "C:\Users\illge\Princeton Dropbox\Sam Barnett\FRRS_rd2_replication\FRRS_code\src\setup_paths.do"
  2. •

    Write the new tempdo.do with:

    • •Line 1: Keep the original setup_paths.do include
    • •Line 2: Empty line
    • •Lines 3+: The Stata code the user wants to run
  3. •

    Inform the user that tempdo.do has been updated and they should:

    • •Open tempdo.do in VSCode
    • •Use Stata MCP's "Run File" command (not Run Selection)
    • •The graph will appear in the Stata Graphs panel

Example

User asks: "Run Figure 2a from analysis_KLMS.do"

Steps:

  1. •Find Figure 2a code in analysis_KLMS.do (search for "2a" or the figure comment)
  2. •Read tempdo.do line 1
  3. •Write tempdo.do with:
stata
do "C:\Users\illge\Princeton Dropbox\Sam Barnett\FRRS_rd2_replication\FRRS_code\src\setup_paths.do"

*(2a) using mp_klms_U: rolling 6Y
use "$proc_analysis/maintable_data", clear
[... rest of figure code ...]
  1. •Tell user: "Updated tempdo.do with Figure 2a code. Open it and use Run File to execute."

Key Paths

  • •tempdo.do: FRRS_code/src/tempdo.do
  • •setup_paths.do: FRRS_code/src/setup_paths.do
  • •analysis_KLMS.do: FRRS_code/src/analysis_KLMS.do
  • •data_construction_KLMS.do: FRRS_code/src/data_construction_KLMS.do

Notes

  • •Always preserve the setup_paths.do include on line 1
  • •tempdo.do is in .gitignore so changes won't be committed
  • •If the user provides code directly, use that; if they reference a figure/table, find it in analysis_KLMS.do
