SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the "black box" problem in research, where collaborators or reviewers cannot evaluate an analysis because the logic is hidden behind code or opaque results. It forces the creation of a visual interface for your analysis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Diagnostic Menu Generation: Creates a structured, numbered checklist of figures ranging from univariate distributions to sensitivity checks.
  • Reviewer-Ready Design: Ensures every figure answers a specific question a reviewer would ask, preempting adversarial critique.
  • Use Case: Before writing your analysis script, use this to define the exact figures needed to prove your methodology, ensuring your code produces the right evidence from the start.

Quick Start

Run the visualize-blackbox skill to generate a figure menu for the current analysis project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design diagnostic figures to make my data analysis transparent?

Diagnostic figures make analytical pipelines transparent by categorizing plots into univariate, bivariate, conditional, and sensitivity levels. This structured visual evidence ensures collaborators can evaluate the underlying logic and methodology.

What is the best way to preempt reviewer critique in research analysis?

Preempt reviewer critique by generating a reviewer-ready diagnostic figure menu. This ensures every figure answers a specific question a reviewer would ask, providing rigorous visual evidence before the analysis script is written.

How do I structure a diagnostic plot menu for a scientific modeling workflow?

Structure a diagnostic plot menu by categorizing required figures into univariate distributions, bivariate relationships, conditional dependencies, and sensitivity checks. This checklist defines the exact evidence needed to prove methodology.

When do I need to generate a checklist of diagnostic figures for my research?

Generate a figure checklist before writing your analysis script. This defines the exact visual evidence needed to prove your methodology, ensuring your code produces the right diagnostic outputs from the start.

Does this diagnostic figure generation approach work for collaborative data analysis projects?

Yes, this approach applies directly to collaborative scientific modeling and data analysis workflows. It solves the black box problem by forcing the creation of a visual interface that makes opaque analytical logic evaluable.
