What it does

Hrm Methods is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when the research design is the bottleneck for a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript — matching multilevel structure, multi-source/multi-wave timing, construct validity, and common-method-bias defenses to the theoretical claim. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (hrm-data-analysis).

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 Recruiting and HR and 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.

When your agent uses it

  • The research design is the bottleneck for a Human Resource Management (Wiley HRM) manuscript — matching multilevel structure
  • Multi-source/multi-wave timing
  • Construct validity
  • Common-method-bias defenses to the theoretical claim

Example prompts

  • “/hrm-methods”

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

Hrm Methods loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 683 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
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 the research design is the bottleneck for a Human Resource Management (Wiley "HRM") manuscript — matching multilevel structure, multi-source/multi-wave timing, construct validity, and common-method-bias defenses to the theoretical claim. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation (hrm-data-analysis).

Research Design & Methods (hrm-methods)

When to trigger

  • Predictor and outcome are single-source, single-wave, self-reported (common-method-bias risk)
  • The theory is cross-level (unit HR system → individual outcome) but data are one level
  • HR-system or practice constructs lack validated measures or a defended aggregation
  • The causal claim ("HPWS raises performance") rests on cross-sectional correlation
  • A reviewer says "the design cannot test this hypothesis," "CMB," or "HPWS adoption is endogenous"

HRM accepts any rigorous design — the bar is fit, not method

HRM welcomes qualitative, quantitative, meta-analytic, and critical-review work, exploratory or confirmatory, inductive/deductive/abductive. The judgment is fit and rigor, plus the journal's demand that the design support a practice-relevant conclusion. Match the design to the claim:

Theoretical claimDesign that earns it
HR practice/system → individual attitudes & behaviorMulti-source, multi-wave survey; predictor and outcome from different sources/times
Unit HR system → individual outcomes (cross-level)Nested data (employees in units); HLM-appropriate structure; aggregation justified
HR system → firm/establishment performancePanel archival with fixed effects + an endogeneity/identification strategy
Causal effect of an HR interventionField experiment, natural experiment, or quasi-experiment (DiD)
Rich, contested, or emergent HR phenomenonQualitative / multi-method, with grounded rigor and a transparent audit trail

A two-study design (e.g., a field study for generalizability plus an experiment for the mechanism) is a recognized HRM strength.

Designing against the threats HRM referees punish

  • Common-method bias (CMB). Procedural remedies beat statistical fixes: separate the source (self-report predictor, supervisor/objective outcome) and the time (multi-wave lag) of measurement, and plan this before data collection. A Harman single-factor test or a single unmeasured-latent-method-factor model is a supplement, not a defense.
  • Endogeneity of HR adoption (archival/strategic HRM). Firms choose HPWS for reasons correlated with performance. Anticipate omitted variables, reverse causality, and selection; specify an identification strategy (panel fixed effects, DiD, instrument, or natural experiment) and state the assumption each requires.
  • Construct validity. Use validated multi-item scales; pilot new HR-practice measures; plan a CFA establishing convergent/discriminant validity. Be explicit whether you measure the intended, implemented, or perceived HR system — they are different constructs and require different respondents.
  • Aggregation. When measuring a unit-level HR system from individual reports, justify aggregation with r_wg, ICC(1) / ICC(2), and a substantive composition model (referent-shift vs. direct consensus). Do not aggregate without a theory of why the construct is shared.
  • Sampling and power. Justify the sampling frame and response rate; power the interaction/cross-level effects, which need more power than main effects.

Level-of-analysis discipline

State the level for theory, measurement, and analysis, and keep them aligned. If theory is unit-level but data are individual, justify aggregation; if effects are cross-level, the analysis must model the nesting — do not run OLS on nested data.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

For the empirical / causal lane, estimate and audit rather than only specify. Full map: execution-with-mcp. HRM is empirical HR — multilevel survey data, field experiments, and panels; multilevel inference and many-outcome corrections matter most.

  • detect_design → recommend → fit with as_handle=true → audit_result to enumerate the checks the design owes.
  • Panel / staggered DiD: callaway_santanna / sun_abraham + bacon_decomposition
    • honest_did_from_result. IV: effective_f_test + anderson_rubin_ci. RDD: rdrobust + mccrary_test.
  • Experiments: randomization-based inference and romano_wolf for the many-outcome family-wise correction reviewers expect.

Match the toolchain to the reviewer pool, and report the effect size the venue wants. A run end-to-end (synthetic data, real returns) is in the JF execution walkthrough.

Checklist

  • Design can actually test each hypothesis (causal claims have causal leverage)
  • CMB addressed by designed source/time separation, not just a post-hoc test
  • Endogeneity strategy specified for HR-adoption / archival causal claims
  • Constructs use validated measures; new HR measures piloted; CFA planned
  • Intended vs. implemented vs. perceived HR system stated and matched to respondent
  • Aggregation justified (r_wg, ICC) with a stated composition model
  • Levels aligned across theory, measurement, analysis; nesting modeled
  • Power justified for cross-level / interaction effects, not just main effects

Anti-patterns

  • Cross-sectional causal claim: "HR practice causes outcome" from one-wave self-report
  • CMB as afterthought: a Harman test standing in for designed separation
  • Endogeneity ignored: an HPWS→performance coefficient with an obviously self-selected adopter set
  • Aggregation by fiat: averaging individuals into a "unit HR system" with no r_wg/ICC
  • Construct slippage: measuring perceived practices but theorizing the implemented system
  • Underpowered cross-level interaction reported as a null boundary condition
