killstata

killstata

killstata is an AI-native CLI for econometric analysis workflows.

It is designed for users who need reproducible data import, staged preprocessing, econometric estimation, and paper-ready outputs from the command line.

Install

Supported on Windows x64:

npm i -g killstata@latest

For source development:

bun install

Quick Start

killstata
killstata --version

On first run, enter a DeepSeek API key. KillStata prepares its private data-analysis environment automatically; Python, Stata, MCP, and skills setup are not required.

killstata config remains available only for optional advanced model settings.

Common Prompt Examples

• Import this Excel file and show me the schema.
• Run QA on the current dataset and tell me if panel keys are duplicated.
• Use the current panel stage and run a fixed-effects regression with clustered SE.
• Export a three-line table and a short result summary.

What It Supports

• Data import from CSV, XLSX, and DTA
• Structured working datasets with tracked stages
• QA, filtering, preprocessing, and rollback workflows
• Econometric methods such as OLS, panel fixed effects, DID-style flows, IV, and PSM-related flows
• Output generation for summaries, regression tables, and deliverables

Output Layout

Typical artifact layout:

.killstata/
  datasets/
    <datasetId>/
      manifest.json
      stages/
      inspection/
      meta/
      audit/
      reports/

Install Troubleshooting

If installation succeeds but the CLI still does not start, retry the Windows-first install path:

npm i -g killstata@latest

The npm package supports Windows x64 only. For source development, install Bun:

• https://bun.sh

Key Design

• Continue from saved artifacts instead of rereading raw files
• Treat preprocessing as tracked stages, not silent overwrites
• Generate outputs from structured result files for better traceability
