research-harness-plan

What problem does it solve?

This Skill generates an executable empirical analysis plan from the approved study specification, audit findings, and the cleaned data structure, producing analysis_plan.md to guide subsequent analysis steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated plan synthesis: From study_spec.md, data_audit_report.md, and data_cleaning_report.md to a concrete, task-level plan.
• Feasibility and data checks: Validates which study variables exist in the cleaned data and flags missing ones as unknown to avoid impossible tasks.
• Defined outputs and DoD: Produces a complete analysis_plan.md containing tasks, scripts, logs, and outputs, with clear definition of done.
• Use Case: A researcher runs the plan generator after data cleaning to obtain a ready-to-execute plan for descriptive stats, main models, robustness checks, and figures.

Quick Start

Run /research-harness-plan to generate a fresh analysis plan from study_spec.md and reports.
