Frequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install Science Superpowers?โผ
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/science-superpowers --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all 16 research skills globally.
What does Science Superpowers do?โผ
It gives your research agent a complete computational-science methodology: framing falsifiable questions, pre-registering predictions, running reproducible analyses, and verifying results before claiming them.
How does it prevent p-hacking and HARKing?โผ
The pre-registration skill locks hypotheses, predictions, and decision rules before any outcome data is seen, and the included prereg.sh script proves from git history that predictions preceded results.
Does Science Superpowers work with Claude Code and Gemini CLI?โผ
Yes. It runs on Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot CLI, Cursor, Antigravity, and Pi, with tool-mapping references included for each platform.
Do I need statistics expertise to use it?โผ
No. The skills trigger automatically when you ask your agent to investigate data, and they enforce sound methodology like power analysis, confound handling, and anomaly root-causing on your behalf.
