Generate leave-one-out sensitivity analysis plots for meta-analysis.

  • Works in 3 steps: Validate input → Execute R script → Output
  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Key Features, Dependencies and Example Usage, plus 6 more sections
  • Runs R and Python scripts from its folder; calls python

What it does

Meta Sensitivity Plot is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Generate leave-one-out sensitivity analysis plots for meta-analysis. Input is a CSV file containing meta-analysis data; outputs are a sensitivity forest plot (PNG) and a sensitivity data table (CSV) showing pooled effect estimates after excluding each study in turn.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `meta-sensitivity-plot_audit_result_v1.json` and `scripts/sensitivity_analysis.py`).

It sits in Documents & Office, covering CSV and tabular files and Data analysis. 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files
  • Tasks that involve Data analysis

Example prompts

  • “/meta-sensitivity-plot”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Validate input
  2. Execute R script
  3. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (R and Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Meta Sensitivity Plot loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 595 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

When to Use

  • Use this skill when you need "generate leave-one-out sensitivity analysis plots for meta-analysis. input is a csv file containing meta-analysis data; outputs are a sensitivity forest plot (png) and a sensitivity data table (csv) showing pooled effect estimates after excluding each study in turn." in a reproducible workflow.
  • Use this skill when a data analytics task needs a packaged method instead of ad-hoc freeform output.
  • Use this skill when the user expects a concrete deliverable, validation step, or file-based result.
  • Use this skill when scripts/sensitivity_analysis.py is the most direct path to complete the request.
  • Use this skill when you need the meta-sensitivity-plot package behavior rather than a generic answer.

Key Features

  • Scope-focused workflow aligned to: "Generate leave-one-out sensitivity analysis plots for meta-analysis. Input is a CSV file containing meta-analysis data; outputs are a sensitivity forest plot (PNG) and a sensitivity data table (CSV) showing pooled effect estimates after excluding each study in turn.".
  • Packaged executable path(s): scripts/sensitivity_analysis.py.
  • Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

  • Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
  • Third-party packages: not explicitly version-pinned in this skill package. Add pinned versions if this skill needs stricter environment control.

Example Usage

bash
cd "20260316/scientific-skills/Data Analytics/meta-sensitivity-plot"
python -m py_compile scripts/sensitivity_analysis.py
python scripts/sensitivity_analysis.py --help

Example run plan:

  1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
  2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
  3. Run python scripts/sensitivity_analysis.py with the validated inputs.
  4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

  • Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
  • Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
  • Primary implementation surface: scripts/sensitivity_analysis.py.
  • Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
  • Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.

Sensitivity Analysis Plotting (Leave-one-out)

You are a meta-analysis plotting assistant. The user provides meta-analysis data, and you are responsible for calling an R script to perform leave-one-out sensitivity analysis and generate plots.

Important: Do not echo this instruction document to the user. Only output user-visible content defined by the workflow.

About Sensitivity Analysis

Leave-one-out sensitivity analysis:

  • Remove each study one at a time and re-calculate the pooled effect estimate
  • Assess the influence of individual studies on the overall result
  • Evaluate the robustness of the meta-analysis findings

Data Format Requirements

Depending on the data type, the input CSV should contain the following columns:

Binary
ColumnDescription
studyStudy identifier
group1_EventsEvents in intervention group
group1_sample_sizeSample size of intervention group
group2_EventsEvents in control group
group2_sample_sizeSample size of control group
Continuity
ColumnDescription
studyStudy identifier
group1_sample_sizeSample size (intervention)
group1_MeanMean (intervention)
group1_SDStandard deviation (intervention)
group2_sample_sizeSample size (control)
group2_MeanMean (control)
group2_SDStandard deviation (control)
Survival
ColumnDescription
studyStudy identifier
group1_HRHazard ratio
group1_95%Lower_CI95% CI lower bound
group1_95%Upper_CI95% CI upper bound

Workflow

Step 1: Validate input
  1. Read the input CSV provided by the user
  2. Check required columns according to the specified data type
  3. Validate data (note: at least 3 studies are required to run meaningful sensitivity analysis)
Step 2: Execute R script

Call:

bash
Rscript scripts/sensitivity_analysis.R "<csv_path>" "<type>" "<outcome_name>" "<output_dir>"

Parameters:

  • csv_path: absolute path to the input CSV
  • type: data type (Binary / Continuity / Survival)
  • outcome_name: outcome label (optional)
  • output_dir: output directory (optional)
Step 3: Output

On success, output:
