Find and assess datasets for a research question. Dispatches Explorer agents to search across data source categories, then Explorer-Critic to stress-test each candidate. Produces a ranked list with feasibility grades. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user wants to identify or evaluate data sources — not to search for papers or run analysis. Triggers include: "find data", "what data should I use", "find a dataset for this", "where can I get data on X", "assess datasets", "what datasets exist for", "help me find data", "is there data on this", "what are my data options", "I need data for this project", or any request to locate empirical data sources for a research question.
Data Finder Find and assess datasets for your research question. Two Explorer agents search in parallel across data source categories; an Explorer Critic then stress tests each candidate against the research design. Input: — a topic, or to read the research question from . Step 1: Read Research Context 1. Find the most recent or — extract: Research question Empirical strategy (DiD, RDD, IV, etc.) Treatment variable (what varies) Outcome variable (what we measure) Controls needed Time period of…
