What it does

Q Results is an agent skill from TyrealQ/q-skills. Draft results sections for academic manuscripts with APA 7th tables and narrative flow. Use for writing results, presenting findings, formatting statistical tables, or reporting quantitative analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/results_template.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Hypothesis generation. The repository describes itself as: End-to-end skills for academic writing, data analysis, teaching, and research communication. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing results
  • Presenting findings
  • Formatting statistical tables
  • Reporting quantitative analysis

Example prompts

  • “/q-results”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d8aaee7. 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

Q Results loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 637 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.5k

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.

Q-Results

Draft results sections following APA 7th edition standards with narrative flow and properly formatted tables.

References

  • references/results_template.md — structural guidance (draft dynamically, not verbatim)
  • ../references/appendix_template.md — shared appendix structure (methods and results)
  • ../references/apa_style_guide.md — APA formatting, numbers, notation, formulas
  • ../references/table_formatting.md — APA 7th table structure and examples

Core Principles

  • Narrative prose; no bullet points, em-dashes, or standalone introductory paragraphs
  • Prefer 3-12 sentence paragraphs; merge pre-table intros into post-table narrative
  • Organize by research questions or analytical stages, not by statistical test
  • Tables support the narrative, not replace it
  • Report findings objectively without interpretation (save for discussion)
  • Observational connectors such as "consistent with" or "suggesting" may still be used to link related findings, as long as they do not assert a mechanism or cause.
  • No unnecessary bold or italic emphasis in running text
  • Wrap all formulas and operator-heavy expressions in inline code backticks, in both prose and table cells (see ../references/apa_style_guide.md, "Equations, Formulas, and Set Notation")
  • Focus the main text on core findings that directly address the research questions; move peripheral, supplementary, or exhaustive detail to appendices

Section Architecture

The template describes what goes where; this section describes why each element appears where it does and how findings build narratively.

Opening Overview

Orient the reader to the full analytical landscape before presenting specific findings. Summarize what analyses were conducted, how the section is organized, and what the reader should expect. This paragraph earns the reader's attention by previewing the story the data tells.

Results by Research Question

Organize by research question, not by statistical test — the reader follows the argument, not the toolchain. For each RQ: state what was analyzed, present key findings with statistics, reference supporting tables, and transition to the next RQ by connecting what was just found to what comes next. Tables support the narrative but do not replace it; every table should be introduced before it appears and interpreted after. Summarize patterns rather than exhaustively listing every result.

Summary

Brief synthesis of key findings without interpretation. Connect the findings back to the research questions. Do not introduce new results or offer theoretical explanations — those belong in the discussion.

Appendix Strategy

The main text tells the story of the findings; appendices provide the evidence trail for verification and reproducibility.

Core results (main text): Findings that directly answer the research questions, including the key tables and statistics needed to follow the narrative. Present only the most informative tables inline; summarize patterns rather than exhaustively listing every pathway, configuration, or subgroup.

Peripheral results (appendices): Complete truth tables, full solution tables with all equivalent models, exhaustive cross-tabulations, detailed robustness checks, sensitivity analyses, and supplementary breakdowns by subgroup or condition. Reference these at the point of relevance: "complete results in Table A4" or "detailed breakdowns are available in Appendix B."

When to move results to an appendix:

  • The detail supports but does not drive the narrative (e.g., full truth tables behind a summarized solution)
  • The table has more rows or columns than the reader needs to follow the argument
  • The finding confirms rather than advances the story (e.g., robustness checks, alternative specifications)
  • Multiple equivalent models or sensitivity tests produce similar conclusions

Then ask the user to refine the core-vs-peripheral boundary for their study, since it is context-dependent. What counts as a core table in one analysis may be appendix material in another depending on the research questions and audience.

Scope

Include: Statistical findings, pattern discoveries, comparative analyses, distribution results. Reserve: Theoretical interpretation, implications, causal explanations (discussion).
