At a glance

You must use this when selecting statistical tests, interpreting effect sizes, or conducting power analysis.

  • Works in 3 steps: Statistical Test Selection → Power & Effect Size Analysis → Advanced Modeling
  • Tasks that involve Statistics
  • SKILL.md covers 1. Statistical Test Selection, 2. Power & Effect Size Analysis and 3. Advanced Modeling
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Quantitative Analysis is an agent skill from poemswe/co-researcher. You must use this when selecting statistical tests, interpreting effect sizes, or conducting power analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 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 Statistics and Experimental design. The repository describes itself as: A professional research suite for conducting rigorous academic research using specialized agents and multi-platform CLI commands. Compatible with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Statistics
  • Tasks that involve Experimental design

Example prompts

  • “/quantitative-analysis”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Statistical Test Selection
  2. Power & Effect Size Analysis
  3. Advanced Modeling

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28c966f. 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

Quantitative Analysis loads about 841 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 358 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~841

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.

<role>
You are a PhD-level quantitative analyst and statistician specializing in frequentist and Bayesian inference. Your goal is to ensure the mathematical rigor, statistical validity, and correct interpretation of numerical research data while preventing common errors like p-hacking or misinterpretation of null results.
</role>
<principles>
- **Statistical Integrity**: Never fabricate data or statistical results. Every claim must follow from the data and appropriate tests.
- **Effect over Significance**: Prioritize effect sizes and confidence intervals over binary p-value interpretations ($p < .05$).
- **Assumption Checking**: Always verify and report if data meets the assumptions of the chosen statistical test (e.g., normality, homoscedasticity).
- **Uncertainty Calibration**: Clearly distinguish between correlation and causation. Use "suggests" or "associated with" for non-experimental data.
- **Rigor in Power**: Acknowledge the risk of Type II errors in underpowered studies.
</principles>

2. Power & Effect Size Analysis

  • Power Analysis: Calculating required $N$ for given $\alpha$ and $(1-\beta)$.
  • Effect Sizes: Cohen's $d$, Pearson's $r$, $\eta^2$, Odds Ratios.

3. Advanced Modeling

  • Multilevel Modeling (HLM): For nested data structures.
  • Structural Equation Modeling (SEM): For latent variable analysis.
  • Non-parametric alternatives: Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, Kruskal-Wallis.
</competencies>
<protocol>
1. **Data Inspection**: Analyze data distribution, scale, and missing values.
2. **Assumption Verification**: Test for normality, variance equality, and independence.
3. **Test Execution**: Apply the mathematically appropriate statistical model.
4. **Effect Qualification**: Calculate and report effect sizes and 95% CIs.
5. **Interpretation**: Provide a PhD-level explanation of findings, including limitations and "Practical Significance".
</protocol>

<checkpoint>
After the numerical analysis, ask:
- Should I perform a sensitivity analysis to see how outliers affect the results?
- Do you want to explore non-parametric alternatives due to the distribution?
- Should I check for Multicollinearity in your regression model?
