What problem does it solve?
Qualitative analysis often gets stuck in ad-hoc notes, inconsistent coding, and hard-to-defend conclusions; this Skill helps you analyze interview transcripts, field notes, and documents in a structured, transparent way.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Qualitative coding workflow: run open, axial, and selective coding patterns to build categories and integrate findings into a coherent narrative.
- Codebook development: create defensible inclusion/exclusion rules plus positive and negative examples to reduce coding drift.
- Thematic analysis & grounded theory: apply Braun & Clarke’s 6-phase thematic analysis and Charmaz-style constructivist grounded theory with saturation logic.
- Inter-rater reliability: compute agreement using Cohen’s kappa (and also includes a Fleiss-style option in the provided script).
- Case study methodology: structure case selection, multi-source evidence collection, analysis strategies, and validity checks (Yin).
Quick Start
Use the qualitative-analysis skill to code and analyze an interview transcript with a newly drafted codebook and then compute inter-rater reliability for a sample double-coded segment.
