causal-powers

A collection of skills for data analysis, causal inference, and econometrics, the study of relationships between variables using statistical and economic models. It covers work in R, Julia, and Python.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing data, checking joins, planning studies, describing evidence, estimating economic models, evaluating predictions, checking robustness, and organizing research projects.
Why use it?
It helps structure analysis and make hidden data or modeling failures easier to detect.

Grade A, and why

causal-powers scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside marketplace.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

causal-powers is a plugin published in the GitHub repository lancegui/causal-powers (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: this kind of file is read by the harness, not the model. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
