SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinates execution of approved analysis tasks by writing reproducible scripts, running them, and recording logs and outputs to support auditable, traceable research workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate reproducible analysis scripts for each task described in analysis_plan.md and execute them in a controlled, logged environment.
  • Validate logs and update the evidence ledger to ensure traceability and compliance with the research workflow.
  • Integrate with /research-harness-plan and /research-harness-review to enforce governance across the research lifecycle.

Quick Start

Run a task by invoking the skill with a specific task id, for example: /research-harness-work 1.1.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate reproducible analysis scripts for auditability?

To generate reproducible analysis scripts for auditability, execute approved tasks from analysis_plan.md to automatically produce scripts with enforced header comments, project-relative paths, seed control, and logged outputs.

What is the best way to maintain audit logs for research workflow automation?

The best way to maintain audit logs for research workflow automation is to execute approved analysis tasks in a controlled environment that captures all log files and output artifacts while validating them against an evidence ledger.

Can I run reproducible scripts in Python, R, or Stata for research analysis?

Yes, you can run reproducible scripts in Python, R, or Stata, as the execution environment enforces seed control, header comments, and output capture based on the scripting languages defined by your study specifications.

Do I need an approved analysis plan before executing reproducible research scripts?

Yes, you need a human-approved analysis plan before executing reproducible research scripts, because the skill operates on tasks defined in analysis_plan.md after planning is complete and before the review phase.

How do I ensure reproducibility when operating on processed research datasets?

You ensure reproducibility when operating on processed datasets under data/processed/ by enforcing project-relative paths, seed control, and capturing all generated log files and output artifacts during script execution.

What are the limitations of automated research workflow governance?

A limitation of automated research workflow governance is that it requires integration with separate planning and review stages, meaning it cannot execute tasks lacking prior human approval or validate outputs outside the evidence ledger.
