System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers craft a complete pre-analysis plan (PAP) for experimental social science, enabling rigorous pre-registration, clear documentation, and transparent planning across design, analysis, and reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Registry selection guidance for OSF, EGAP, and AsPredicted, with structured PAP templates and versioning.
  • End-to-end PAP structure guidance including study information, hypotheses, design, sampling, variables, analysis plan, contingency plans, and deviations.
  • Three-tier analysis approach (locked, conditional, exploratory) with explicit decision rules and formal model specifications to ensure reproducibility.

Quick Start

Write a PAP draft for a hypothetical experiment using OSF, including registry choice, study design, analysis plan with three-tier rules, contingency planning, and simulated-data code pre-registration.
