causal-design

Triage a causal question and hand off to the owning method skill. Owns the selection-on-observables branch (overlap, doubly robust estimation, causal forests, policy learning, sensitivity), plain panel fixed effects, and the shared inference rules (clustering, multiplicity, interference routing). TRIGGER on "identification strategy", "which causal method", "research design", "endogeneity", "quasi-experiment", "natural experiment", "selection on observables", "unconfoundedness", "propensity score", "matching", "IPW", "AIPW", "doubly robust", "double machine learning", "causal forest", "policy learning", "sensitivity analysis", "sensemakr", "Oster bounds", "Manski bounds", "overlap", "panel fixed effects", "strict exogeneity", "surrogate index", "mediation", "control function", "copula", "bandit", "adaptive experiment", "interrupted time series", "pre-post", or "how do I estimate the effect of X on Y" with no design chosen yet. Once a design is named, its method skill owns it.
