What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the problem of turning messy qualitative data into a structured grounded theory by guiding researchers through open coding, axial coding, selective coding, memo writing, and theory saturation checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Open Coding (开放编码): Extract initial concepts from segmented qualitative text and organize them with concept definitions and examples.
• Axial Coding (轴心编码): Cluster concepts into categories, analyze category properties, build relationships, and construct a simplified Paradigm model (conditions–context–action–consequences).
• Selective Coding (选择式编码): Identify a core category, build a coherent storyline, and integrate a theory framework with propositions and mechanisms.
• Memo Writing & Saturation: Generate stage-appropriate memos and assess whether new data yields new concepts/relationships to judge theoretical saturation.

Quick Start

Use the grounded-theory-expert skill to analyze your Chinese interview/transcript text by providing it as JSON with text_data (or segments) and optionally new_data for saturation testing.
