SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps qualitative researchers maintain methodological rigor by examining their philosophical assumptions and checking for coherence between their declared stance (ontology, epistemology), language use, and analytical practices. It prevents unintentional methodological drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Language Coherence: Analyzes your recent text for vocabulary consistent with your philosophical stance (e.g., "construct" vs. "discover").
  • Method-Epistemology Alignment: Verifies if your analytical approach matches your declared epistemology (e.g., systematic procedures for interpretivism).
  • AI Relationship Coherence: Ensures your interaction with AI aligns with your stated role (e.g., epistemic partner vs. coding tool).
  • Use Case: After a coding session, use this skill to check if your analytical decisions and language reflect your stated constructivist epistemology, ensuring you're not inadvertently slipping into objectivist claims.

Quick Start

Check the coherence of my approach: My declared stance: - Ontology: [from config] - Epistemology: [from config] - Tradition: [from config] Recent analytical decision: [describe] Is this coherent? What tensions exist?

Frequently Asked Questions about coherence-check

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my research methodology aligns with my stated epistemology?▼

Methodological coherence checking analyzes whether your analytical practices match your declared epistemological stance. This Skill ingests your philosophical assumptions and recent analytical decisions, then identifies tensions between your stated approach (e.g., interpretivism) and actual language or procedures, preventing unintentional methodological drift.

What does it mean when my ontology and epistemology contradict my analytical practice?▼

Coherence gaps occur when your vocabulary, method choices, or AI interactions misalign with your declared philosophical stance. For example, using objectivist language like "discover" while claiming constructivist epistemology signals incoherence. This Skill diagnoses these tensions so you can maintain rigor in qualitative research.

How do I verify my language reflects my philosophical stance during coding sessions?▼

Language coherence analysis examines your recent text for vocabulary consistency with your epistemology—distinguishing between terms like "construct" versus "discover." After analytical work, submit your decisions and language to check whether they coherently reflect your stated ontological and epistemological tradition.

Can I use this to ensure my interaction with AI matches my declared research role?▼

Yes. AI relationship coherence verification confirms whether your engagement with AI tools (e.g., as epistemic partner versus coding tool) aligns with your stated methodological stance. This ensures your use of external resources remains consistent with your qualitative research epistemology.

What input does this Skill need to perform a coherence check?▼

Coherence checking requires your declared ontology, epistemology, and research tradition from configuration, plus a description of your recent analytical decision or language sample. The Skill analyzes these inputs against method-epistemology alignment and vocabulary patterns to output structured coherence verdicts with tension insights.

When should I run coherence checks in my research workflow?▼

Run checks when you question your methodological stance, notice language that contradicts your epistemology, or transition between analytical stages. Regular coherence verification during qualitative research prevents philosophical drift and maintains methodological rigor throughout your study.
