What it does

Psychbull Moderators And Bias is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when explaining heterogeneity and probing robustness in a Psychological Bulletin meta-analysis — moderator/subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and publication-bias diagnostics (funnel, Egger, trim-and-fill, PET-PEESE, p-curve, selection models) plus sensitivity analyses. Extends the core model; estimation lives in psychbull-meta-analysis-methods.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Explaining heterogeneity and probing robustness in a Psychological Bulletin meta-analysis — moderator/subgroup analysis
  • Meta-regression
  • Publication-bias diagnostics (funnel
  • Selection models) plus sensitivity analyses

Example prompts

  • “/psychbull-moderators-and-bias”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Funnel plot (with contour enhancement) — visual asymmetry; not proof on its own.
  2. Egger's regression / rank tests — small-study effects, with the usual caveats under high
  3. Trim-and-fill — imputes "missing" studies; treat as sensitivity, not truth.
  4. PET-PEESE — regression-based bias-adjusted estimate.
  5. p-curve / p-uniform — evidential value and right-skew vs. p-hacking signatures.
  6. Three-parameter selection models (weightr) — model the selection process directly.

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

Psychbull Moderators And Bias loads about 930 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 324 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~930

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 324 words (~930 tokens).

“Once a pooled effect and its heterogeneity exist, two questions decide the paper's credibility: what explains the variation (moderators), and is the effect an artifact of selective reporting (publication bias). Psychological Bulletin reviewers scrutinize both, and MARS requires reporting bias…”
