What it does

Scale Reliability Validity is an agent skill from Drchronx/ai-agent-research-starter-kit. Analyze reliability and validity of questionnaire scales. Use for Cronbach alpha, McDonald's omega, composite reliability, AVE, convergent validity, discriminant validity, Fornell-Larcker, HTMT, item-total correlations, scale purification, and management or psychology measurement reporting.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `scripts/create_scale_codebook.py`).

The repository describes itself as: AI Agent 科研全流程教学包,能教学生从零部署 Codex、Claude Code、OpenClaw、Hermes 等 Agent,学会使用 Skills、飞书、AMiner、AI4Scholar、Zotero、Obsidian…

When your agent uses it

  • McDonalds omega
  • Composite reliability
  • Convergent validity
  • Discriminant validity

Example prompts

  • “/scale-reliability-validity”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Audit missingness, coding, anchors, and reverse-coded items.
  2. Compute descriptive statistics and item-total correlations.
  3. Estimate reliability: alpha, omega, and composite reliability when appropriate.
  4. Assess convergent validity using AVE or factor loadings.
  5. Assess discriminant validity using Fornell-Larcker, HTMT, or model comparison.
  6. Decide whether item removal is theoretically justified.
  7. Produce a measurement-quality report.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aab1133. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Scale Reliability Validity loads about 380 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 127 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~380

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 127 words (~380 tokens).

“Use this skill after collecting scale data.”
