  • “/pubar-data-analysis”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Report uncertainty honestly. Confidence/credible intervals, not just stars; the **magnitude and
  2. Robustness that probes, not decorates. Show specifications that could break the result
  3. Heterogeneity with discipline. Pre-specify subgroups where possible (agency type, jurisdiction
  4. Right inference. Cluster at the assignment/sampling level (agency, district); wild-cluster
  5. Preregistration discipline. Clearly separate registered from exploratory analyses;
  6. Measurement. Validate constructs (red tape, PSM, performance); report reliability; show results

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

Pubar Data Analysis loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 748 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript so it survives expert, double-blind review and supports honest Evidence for Practice — uncertainty, robustness, and triangulation appropriate to quantitative, experimental, or mixed work. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

Data Analysis (pubar-data-analysis)

PAR reviewers are methodologically capable public-management scholars, and the journal endorses the TOP transparency guidelines — so analyses should be reproducible and documented (see pubar-transparency-and-data). Because PAR articles carry Evidence for Practice, every estimate that drives a managerial takeaway must be analyzed honestly enough to bear that weight. This skill covers execution and reporting; design decisions live in pubar-research-design.

When to trigger

  • Running main and supporting analyses; building the results section
  • A reviewer asked for robustness, heterogeneity, or alternative specifications
  • Reconciling preregistered vs. exploratory analyses
  • Making the analysis reproducible before deposit

Analysis norms PAR expects

  1. Report uncertainty honestly. Confidence/credible intervals, not just stars; the magnitude and substantive/managerial meaning of the estimate, not just its significance. A practitioner needs effect size, not a p-value.
  2. Robustness that probes, not decorates. Show specifications that could break the result (alternative measures, samples, estimators, fixed effects), and say what you learn.
  3. Heterogeneity with discipline. Pre-specify subgroups where possible (agency type, jurisdiction size, sector); correct for multiple comparisons; don't mine an interaction and theorize it post hoc.
  4. Right inference. Cluster at the assignment/sampling level (agency, district); wild-cluster bootstrap when clusters are few — a common public-management data situation.
  5. Preregistration discipline. Clearly separate registered from exploratory analyses; reconcile and justify deviations.
  6. Measurement. Validate constructs (red tape, PSM, performance); report reliability; show results are not an artifact of a coding/scaling choice — measurement debates are central in PA.

Mixed-methods integration

  • State explicitly where the qualitative evidence corroborates, refines, or contradicts the quantitative estimate; do not present them in parallel silos with no integration.

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, randomization inference, simulation, any stochastic step.
  • Pin software/package versions (renv.lock, requirements.txt, recorded ssc/net installs).
  • Keep table/figure numbers matched to script outputs; document design/prep decisions in the supplementary document PAR recommends.

Execution bridge (StatsPAI / Stata MCP)

Run the battery, don't just enumerate it. Full map: execution-with-mcp. PAR is public administration — survey/observational and some experimental work; identification + clustered/multilevel inference, magnitude for practice.

  • Many outcomes / specifications: romano_wolf (step-down FWER) or benjamini_hochberg.
  • OVB sensitivity: oster_delta / sensemakr.
  • Inference: wild_cluster_bootstrap (few clusters), twoway_cluster / conley.
  • Re-fit off one handle: audit_result(result_id) lists missing checks + the exact suggest_function for each.
  • Exhibits: etable / did_summary_to_latex from the handle — no retyped numbers.

Decisive checks in the body, exhaustive battery in the appendix. JF execution walkthrough.

Anti-patterns

  • Stars-only tables with no effect sizes or intervals (a practitioner can't act on stars)
  • "Robustness" that only reruns near-identical specs to manufacture stability
  • p-hacking / fishing for a significant interaction; HARKing exploratory results into hypotheses
  • Clustering at the wrong level or ignoring few-cluster problems
  • An Evidence-for-Practice point that the analysis does not actually support

What PAR reviewers probe, by analytic tradition

Analytic traditionThe check a PAR referee runs firstThe fix that earns the benefit of the doubt
Survey / managerial experimentIs inference randomization-based and pre-registered?Randomization inference, pre-registered estimand, MDE reported
Observational causal (reform)Is the "causal" word (and the policy advice) doing more than the design licenses?State estimand + assumption; sensitivity to an unobserved confounder
Performance / administrative dataAre measures validated, and is gaming/selection ruled out?Construct validation, reliability, selection checks
Mixed methodsDo quant and qual estimates actually corroborate?Show where they agree, and own where they diverge

Worked micro-example (illustrative numbers)

A hypothetical PAR survey experiment tests whether a performance-feedback framing raises frontline managers' willingness to adopt a new reporting tool. The pre-registered ATE is +7.4 points (95% CI 3.0 to 11.8) on a 0–100 willingness scale, randomization-inference p = 0.006. An exploratory subgroup ("low-tenure managers") shows +13 points, but it was not pre-registered and after a Bonferroni adjustment across five exploratory subgroups its interval crosses zero. The disciplined write-up reports the +7.4 confirmatory effect with its interval and a managerial interpretation, flags the +13 figure as exploratory and not multiplicity-robust, and frames it as a hypothesis — so the Evidence-for-Practice point rests on the confirmatory estimate only. (All numbers illustrative.)

Calibration anchors (hedged)

  • The bar is field-wide PA significance plus honest practice relevance; an effect only a specialist values, or a takeaway the data can't support, rarely clears PAR review.
  • PAR practices methodological breadth — a rigorous mixed-methods or case analysis is not second-class to a regression. Match the inference standard to the design.
  • TOP transparency expectations evolve; confirm the current data-policy wording on the journal's page (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准).
