What it does

Govern Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when executing and reporting the analysis for a Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript — cross-national inference, clustering and uncertainty, robustness, multi-method triangulation, measurement validity for governance indices, small-N comparative samples, and sensitivity to unobserved confounders. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data analysis. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Govern Data Analysis loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 673 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when executing and reporting the analysis for a Governance: An International Journal of Policy, Administration, and Institutions manuscript — cross-national inference, clustering and uncertainty, robustness, multi-method triangulation, measurement validity for governance indices, small-N comparative samples, and sensitivity to unobserved confounders. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

Data Analysis (govern-data-analysis)

Governance reviewers are comparative-method sophisticated and the journal requires a Data Availability Statement describing whether and how replication materials can be accessed. Analyze as if a competent reader will follow your inference across countries — because they will. This skill covers execution and reporting norms; design decisions live in govern-research-design.

When to trigger

  • Running main and supporting analyses; building the results section
  • A reviewer asked for robustness, heterogeneity, or alternative specifications
  • Reconciling pre-specified vs. exploratory analyses (an anonymized pre-analysis plan may be supplied)
  • Making the analysis reproducible before drafting the Data Availability Statement

Analysis norms Governance expects

  1. Cross-national inference, done carefully. Be explicit about what is identified off within-country over-time variation vs. cross-country variation, and which the argument needs. Country-year panels with two-way fixed effects answer a different question than a pure cross-section — say which.
  2. Cluster and quantify uncertainty correctly. Cluster at the level of treatment assignment (often country or reform unit); report confidence/credible intervals and effect magnitudes, not just stars.
  3. Robustness that probes, not decorates. Show specifications that could break the result — alternative governance measures, country/period subsamples, dropping influential cases, alternative estimators — and say what you learned.
  4. Triangulate across methods. Where the design is mixed, show that quantitative and qualitative estimates corroborate; own and interpret divergence rather than hiding it.
  5. Measurement validity for governance indices. Validate the construct; show the result is not an artifact of one index (V-Dem vs. WGI vs. QoG vs. Bertelsmann) or one calibration; carry index uncertainty (e.g., V-Dem credible intervals) into the inference where feasible.
  6. Pre-specification discipline. Clearly separate pre-specified from exploratory analyses; if a pre-analysis plan was supplied, reconcile and justify any deviations.

Small-N comparative samples (the recurring Governance problem)

  • Few countries/clusters break standard cluster-robust SEs: use wild-cluster bootstrap or randomization/permutation inference; report the cluster count honestly.
  • With a small donor pool, consider synthetic control (and its placebo/leave-one-out checks) rather than over-claiming from a few-unit panel.
  • For set-theoretic (QCA) work, report consistency and coverage and probe robustness to calibration and threshold choices; do not present a single solution formula as definitive.
  • Resist over-fitting: in small samples, a long covariate list and a "clean" table are a warning sign, not reassurance.

Sensitivity to unobserved confounders

Institutional outcomes are confounded by hard-to-measure history and capacity. Report how strong an unobserved confounder would have to be to overturn the result (e.g., Oster's δ/bounds, sensemakr-style robustness values, E-values). State the benchmark covariate you compare against.

Show full SKILL.md (267 more words)Show less

Reproducibility while you work (not at the end)

  • One master script regenerates every table and figure from the (raw or constructed) data.
  • Set and report seeds for bootstrap, permutation inference, simulation, and any stochastic step.
  • Pin software/package versions; record the exact governance-index version and download date.
  • Keep manuscript table/figure numbers matched to script outputs, ready for the Data Availability Statement.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. Governance is public administration and institutions research — comparative and causal designs on governance reforms; the chain serves its quantitative-causal lane, while comparative-historical / qualitative work uses its own standards.

  • Many outcomes / specifications: romano_wolf (step-down FWER) or benjamini_hochberg — report the adjusted threshold.
  • OVB sensitivity: oster_delta / sensemakr.
  • Inference: wild_cluster_bootstrap (few clusters), twoway_cluster / conley; multilevel data → cluster at the right level.
  • Re-fit off one handle: audit_result(result_id) lists the missing checks and the exact suggest_function for each.
  • Exhibits: etable / did_summary_to_latex from the handle — no retyped numbers.

Keep the decisive checks in the body and the exhaustive battery in the supplement. See the executed chain in the JF execution walkthrough.

Anti-patterns

  • Stars-only tables with no effect sizes, intervals, or substantive interpretation across countries
  • Standard cluster-robust SEs with a handful of countries (few-cluster bias ignored)
  • "Robustness" that reruns near-identical specs to manufacture stability
  • Treating one governance index as truth; never checking an alternative measure
  • Mining for a significant cross-national interaction and theorizing it post hoc
  • A results section whose numbers a reader could not reproduce from the materials

Output format

【Main estimate】magnitude + interval + cross-national substantive meaning
【Inference】clustering level; few-cluster correction if N small
【Measurement】index + version; result holds across alternative measures? [Y/N]
【Robustness】specs that could break it → what held
【Sensitivity】strength of unobserved confounder needed to overturn (δ / RV / E-value)
【Pre-specified vs exploratory】clearly separated?
【Reproducible】master script + seeds + pinned index versions? [Y/N]
【Next】govern-tables-figures
