FAQPage Schema
How do I create a reproducible research project scaffold for a data-driven paper?

To create a reproducible research project scaffold, use this Skill to auto-generate a full directory structure with latex, code, scripts, results, and literature folders. It provides ready-made README.md and CLAUDE.md files to accelerate your empirical research setup.

Can I generate a LaTeX paper template along with my project directory structure?

Yes, you can generate a LaTeX paper template. The Skill optionally sets up a LaTeX scaffold and placeholder documents within the project structure, ensuring your empirical paper workflow remains reproducible from the start.

Does this research workflow scaffold support WRDS data-driven papers?

Yes, the scaffold explicitly supports WRDS- or data-driven papers. It generates phase-based project directories and placeholder files tailored for researchers starting empirical projects with WRDS data.

What is included in a research project scaffold for empirical research?

A research project scaffold includes standard directories for latex, code, scripts, results, and literature, plus README.md and CLAUDE.md files. These components provide conventions and workflow notes to maintain a reproducible empirical research environment.

Do I need any specific dependencies to set up a reproducible project structure?

No specific dependencies are required to set up the reproducible project structure. The Skill independently generates the directory tree, placeholder files, and guidance templates for your research workflow.
