What problem does it solve?

While the web app is great for interactive exploration, it's limited for batch analysis, automation, and custom visualizations. This Skill provides programmatic access to PolicyEngine's powerful simulation engine, enabling advanced analytical workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Batch Analysis: Analyze thousands of households in a single run, far beyond web app capabilities.
  • Automated Workflows: Automate repetitive policy analyses and integrate with other data sources.
  • Custom Visualizations: Create bespoke charts and reports using Python's rich ecosystem.
  • Use Case: Analyze a proposed policy reform (e.g., increasing the Child Tax Credit to $5,000) across 10,000 households to understand its precise distributional impact.

Quick Start
