What it does
Ma Meta Analysis is an agent skill from htlin222/meta-pipe. Run statistical meta-analysis in R with renv, generate effect estimates, heterogeneity, and publication bias diagnostics, and export figures and tables. Use when analyzing extracted study data.
Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 29 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `references/analysis-progress-template.md`, `references/r-figure-guide.md` and `references/r-guides/00-setup.md`).
It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code-powered end-to-end meta-analysis automation: AI-assisted literature review, screening, extraction, analysis, and manuscript generation for systematic reviews and….
When your agent uses it
- Analyzing extracted study data
Example prompts
- “/ma-meta-analysis”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Initialize renv in 06_analysis/ and record package versions.
- Copy the R templates from assets/r/ into 06_analysis/ and adapt them to the study schema.
- Compute effect sizes with metafor::escalc for the outcome type.
- Fit primary models using meta and/or metafor with REML + Hartung-Knapp defaults.
- Assess heterogeneity (I2, Q, tau2), subgroup analyses, and meta-regression when applicable.
- Conduct sensitivity analyses and publication bias diagnostics.
- Generate forest and funnel plots at 300 dpi.
- Use gtsummary to build manuscript-ready summary tables.
- Export tables as PNG/HTML/DOCX via gt + flextable for manuscript sync.
- Summarize key results and decisions in 06_analysis/validation.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5c5c3f0. 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 script files (R, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Ma Meta Analysis loads about 985 tokens when it runs, and up to ~51k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 304 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 304 words (~985 tokens).
“Analyze extracted data using standard meta-analysis methods and produce validated outputs.”
