What it does

Ppsych Comprehensiveness And Balance is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when appraising the credibility of the studies a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) piece synthesizes and calibrating comprehensiveness, balance, and fair treatment of competing camps — including reform-minded but evidence-based critique. Weighs evidence and audits even-handedness; it does not design the spine (ppsych-organizing-framework) or run new analyses.

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.

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

  • Appraising the credibility of the studies a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) piece synthesizes and calibrating comprehensiveness
  • Fair treatment of competing camps — including reform-minded but evidence-based critique

Example prompts

  • “/ppsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance”

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

Ppsych Comprehensiveness And Balance loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 767 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
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 appraising the credibility of the studies a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) piece synthesizes and calibrating comprehensiveness, balance, and fair treatment of competing camps — including reform-minded but evidence-based critique. Weighs evidence and audits even-handedness; it does not design the spine (ppsych-organizing-framework) or run new analyses.

Comprehensiveness & Balance (ppsych-comprehensiveness-and-balance)

When to trigger

  • The framework is set and you are filling cells with conflicting findings from different areas
  • You must decide whether "the field finds X" is actually supported, or only loosely
  • The topic has rival schools, a live controversy, or a replication/reform debate
  • You are a contributor to this literature and worry the piece tilts toward your own work or your camp's reform agenda

Appraising evidence you did not produce

A PoPS piece runs no study of its own (unless it is a meta-analysis with a superordinate message). You act as the field's referee-of-record for cross-area readers: judge how much weight each study can bear so the synthesis weighs evidence correctly. Make the appraisal explicit:

  • Power & sample. Is the cited effect from an adequately powered design, or a small-N study likely to be inflated? Underpowered originals support weaker claims.
  • Replication status. Has it replicated (direct or close)? A failed-to-replicate headline cannot anchor a "the field knows X" claim — flag it.
  • Preregistration & flexibility. Was the analysis preregistered, or could researcher degrees of freedom explain it? Exploratory ≠ confirmatory.
  • Construct validity & generalizability. Does the measure capture the construct, and does the sample (often WEIRD) support the breadth of the claim?
  • Publication bias. Is the effect from a literature with funnel asymmetry / p-curve problems? Weight accordingly.

You are not re-running these — you are rating their credibility in the evidence matrix so the piece's conclusions track the best evidence, not the loudest finding.

Weighing, not vote-counting

Conflicting results are reconciled by credibility and by what each study measures, never by tallying "9 studies positive, 4 null." Two effects that disagree often tap different constructs, populations, or moderators; say so, and let the framework's cells carry the distinction. A pooled "consensus" across non-comparable designs manufactures false agreement that PoPS's methodologically literate readers will catch.

Comprehensiveness vs. selectivity: the PoPS contract

A PoPS piece must be comprehensive in coverage yet selective in emphasis — and stay concise. Tier the corpus:

TierTreatment
Foundational / field-definingdiscussed in text, with what they established and their limits
Important contributionsgrouped and weighed within framework cells; cited with their finding
Confirmatory / incrementalcited in clusters ("see also …") to show coverage without bloating prose
Tangentialcited only where they bear on a specific claim

Comprehensiveness is proven by the citation set + saturation log (ppsych-literature-synthesis); selectivity is exercised in the prose.

Reform-minded but evidence-based

PoPS is a leading venue for methodological reform and meta-science — but the same standards apply to the reform argument itself. Being on the right side of open science does not license overclaiming:

  • Critique with calibrated strength. Distinguish "this practice is demonstrably harmful" (with evidence) from "this practice is suboptimal" (an argument). Reform rhetoric without the prevalence data is exactly the overclaiming reform opposes.
  • Steelman the practice you criticize. State why reasonable researchers adopted it before showing its costs.
  • Avoid the methodological-purity trap. A reform piece that dismisses an entire literature on a single flaw is as one-sided as the inflation it critiques.

Fairness and the self-citation trap

PoPS referees are frequently the surveyed authors or the camps being weighed, so balance is strategic as well as ethical:

  • Steelman every camp in terms its proponents would accept before noting weaknesses.
  • Attribute ideas to originators, not popularizers (a recurring referee complaint).
  • Handle live controversies without resolving by fiat. Lay out the disagreement, what evidence would settle it, and where your read sits — labelled as your read.
  • Audit self-citation and self-camp. Your work — and your reform faction — appears at the tier the evidence warrants, no more; a reader who does not know the author cannot tell from the emphasis.

Checklist

  • Each pivotal study carries a credibility appraisal (power, replication, preregistration, validity, bias)
  • Failed-to-replicate or underpowered findings flagged where the piece leans on them
  • Conflicting findings reconciled by credibility + construct, not vote-counting
  • Corpus tiered; prose emphasis matches tier; coverage provable from the saturation log
  • Reform claims calibrated to evidence; criticized practices steelmanned first
  • Every rival school/camp stated at its strongest before critique
  • Idea attribution traces to originators
  • Live controversies presented with what evidence would settle them; author's read labelled
  • Self-citation and self-camp audited: own work/faction at warranted tier; emphasis identity-blind

Anti-patterns

  • Citing a headline effect without noting it failed to replicate or was underpowered
  • Vote-counting conflicting results instead of weighing credibility and construct
  • Pooling non-comparable effects into one "the field shows…" magnitude
  • Reform-as-rhetoric: sweeping methodological condemnation with no prevalence data
  • Strawmanning the camp (or the "old guard") the author disagrees with
  • A piece that doubles as the author's — or the reform movement's — CV
  • Declaring a live controversy "resolved" by assertion rather than the evidentiary state
