What it does

Gcb Data Analysis is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when executing and reporting the analysis for a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript — mixed/hierarchical models, time-series and spatial analysis, meta-analysis, and model evaluation with honest uncertainty. GCB reviewers and data archiving demand reproducible, well-quantified inference. Guides analysis norms; it does not fabricate results.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 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, Machine learning and Forecasting and time series. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Executing and reporting the analysis for a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript — mixed/hierarchical models
  • Time-series and spatial analysis
  • Model evaluation with honest uncertainty

Example prompts

  • “/gcb-data-analysis”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Respect the data structure. Use mixed / hierarchical models (lme4, glmmTMB, brms, INLA)
  2. Report uncertainty honestly. Effect sizes with confidence/credible intervals, not just p-values
  3. Quantify, propagate, and partition uncertainty. For models, separate **parameter, structural,
  4. Meta-analysis discipline. Appropriate effect size (log response ratio, Hedges' g), random/mixed
  5. Evaluate models against observations. Report skill metrics and where the model fails, not only
  6. Right inference for the unit. Match the analysis to the experimental/sampling unit; avoid

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Gcb Data Analysis loads about 920 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~920

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 338 words (~920 tokens).

“GCB reviewers are quantitatively sophisticated, and because data and code are archived publicly with a DOI (see gcb-reporting-and-data-policy), the analysis must be reproducible by a third party. Analyze as if both are true — because they are. This skill covers…”
