Meta Analysis is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Perform quantitative meta-analysis with effect size calculation, forest plots, funnel plots, and heterogeneity assessment.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `POLISH_CHANGELOG.md` and `eval_report_meta-analysis_result.json`).
It sits in Data & Analytics. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Meta Analysis loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 491 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Meta Analysis fits situations like: : user asks to combine results from multiple studies; calculate pooled effect sizes; assess publication bias; create forest/funnel plots.
Run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill meta-analysis -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (scientific-skills/Data Analysis/meta-analysis in aipoch/medical-research-skills) into .claude/skills/meta-analysis in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill meta-analysis -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (scientific-skills/Data Analysis/meta-analysis in aipoch/medical-research-skills) into .agents/skills/meta-analysis in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add aipoch/medical-research-skills --skill meta-analysis -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/meta-analysis, .gemini/skills/meta-analysis, .github/skills/meta-analysis and .opencode/skills/meta-analysis in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Meta Analysis is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Meta Analysis is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
