design-study

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides an early, structured validity diagnostic to ensure a study question is answerable, analysis plan is coherent, and reporting expectations are aligned before drafting or data work begins.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured reconstruction: Reconstructs the study protocol to confirm population, inputs, timing, and outcomes align with the research question.
• Leakage and validation checks: Identifies potential information leakage, unit-of-analysis mismatches, and validation strategy feasibility.
• Clinical framing guidance: Assesses whether the comparator, endpoint definitions, and claimed benefits are clinically meaningful.
• Workflow guidance: Suggests path changes and handoff routes (analyze-stats, check-reporting, self-review, or write-paper) based on the findings.

Quick Start

Provide the study protocol or draft describing the population, inputs, and endpoints to receive a validity-focused review of design risks and recommended fixes.
