What it does

Joap Data Analysis is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when analyzing and reporting results for a Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript using SEM, multilevel (HLM) models, mediation/moderation, or meta-analysis. JAP requires effect sizes with confidence intervals, model-based indirect effects with bootstrap CIs, fit indices, full disclosure, and a clean confirmatory/exploratory split. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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, Statistics and Dispute resolution. 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

Joap Data Analysis loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 685 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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 analyzing and reporting results for a Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript using SEM, multilevel (HLM) models, mediation/moderation, or meta-analysis. JAP requires effect sizes with confidence intervals, model-based indirect effects with bootstrap CIs, fit indices, full disclosure, and a clean confirmatory/exploratory split. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

Data Analysis (joap-data-analysis)

JAP analyses must be model-appropriate, fully reported, and reproducible. The house toolkit is SEM/CFA, multilevel (HLM) models, mediation and moderation with proper inference, and meta-analysis. The journal expects effect sizes with confidence intervals, fit indices, bootstrap CIs for indirect effects, full disclosure of how data were handled, and a clean confirmatory vs. exploratory separation, with data and code shareable under TOP.

When to trigger

  • Specifying and reporting the main and supporting analyses
  • A reviewer asked for fit indices, indirect-effect CIs, robustness, or disclosure
  • Reconciling preregistered analyses with exploratory follow-ups
  • Preparing analysis scripts and a data/codebook for deposit

Reporting norms JAP expects

  1. Measurement before structure. Report the measurement model (CFA fit: χ²/df, CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR) and reliability/AVE before interpreting the structural model; report measurement invariance when comparing groups or waves.
  2. Effect sizes + uncertainty. Give standardized and/or unstandardized estimates with confidence intervals for key paths — not just p-values and stars.
  3. Mediation done right. Report the indirect effect with a bootstrap (or Monte Carlo) CI (not only the Baron-Kenny steps or a Sobel z); for multilevel mediation use the appropriate (e.g., 1-1-1, 2-1-1, 2-2-1) decomposition and within/between separation.
  4. Multilevel correctly. Report ICC(1)/ICC(2), center predictors appropriately (group-mean vs grand-mean), model random effects, and justify the estimator; do not run OLS on nested data.
  5. Full disclosure. Report how sample size was determined, all exclusions (careless responding, attrition) and reasons, all conditions, and all measures. Label confirmatory vs. exploratory.
  6. Meta-analysis (if applicable). Report the model (random vs fixed), heterogeneity (Q, I²), artifact corrections, publication-bias checks, and a transparent coding protocol.
  7. Reproducibility. Provide scripts and a codebook; results should regenerate from shared data in a fresh session (see joap-open-science-and-transparency).

Worked micro-example (illustrative numbers)

The servant-leadership package: a multilevel mediation in the field and a causal test in the lab.

Measurement model (field, N = 612 in 74 teams)
  CFA: χ²/df = 2.1, CFI = .96, TLI = .95, RMSEA = .045, SRMR = .04
  Reliabilities ω: leadership .91, safety .88, performance .87
  Aggregation: ICC(1) = .16, ICC(2) = .77, r_wg(j) = .85 → team-level OK
Confirmatory (preregistered) — multilevel mediation (2-2-2)
  a (leadership→safety) = .42 [.27, .57]; b (safety→performance) = .31 [.14, .48]
  Indirect = .13, 95% Monte Carlo CI [.05, .23] → mediation supported
  Direct (leadership→performance | safety) = .09 [-.06, .24], ns
Confirmatory (preregistered) — lab experiment (causal leg)
  Servant vs control on safety: d = 0.46, 95% CI [0.21, 0.71]
  H3 boundary: interaction with interdependence, ΔR² = .03, CI excludes 0
Exploratory (labeled): voice as a serial L1 mediator surfaced post hoc;
  reported as exploratory, flagged for confirmation in future work.

Why this passes JAP scrutiny: the measurement model is reported before structure; the indirect effect carries a bootstrap/Monte Carlo CI; nesting is modeled and aggregation justified; the experimental leg supplies causal warrant; and the post hoc serial path is honestly demoted to exploratory.

Calibration anchors

  • Report measurement before structure: a beautiful path model on a misfitting measurement model convinces no JAP reviewer.
  • Prefer estimation language with CIs to dichotomous "significant/not"; bare p-value sentences read as pre-reform.
  • For mediation and cross-level effects, the interval on the carrying effect is the result — design and report so that interval is defensible.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. JAP is organizational psychology — multilevel survey/field data and experiments; cluster at the right level and apply mediation/moderation discipline.

  • 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

  • p-values and stars with no effect size, CI, or fit indices
  • Mediation claimed via Baron-Kenny steps or Sobel z without a bootstrap/Monte Carlo CI
  • Ignoring nesting (OLS on multilevel data) or aggregating without ICC/r_wg justification
  • Selectively reporting conditions, measures, or exclusions (undisclosed flexibility)
  • HARKing exploratory findings into confirmatory hypotheses
  • Code that does not reproduce the reported numbers
