SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Drafting IRB/ethics submission documents is time-consuming and error-prone when translating study ideas into formal submission content. This skill automates the creation of a structured protocol by synthesizing inputs from related skills (design-study, calc-sample-size, and search-lit) and by applying approved templates from the referenced materials.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates 4 core sections with full prose: Background and Rationale; Study Design and Eligibility Criteria; Sample Size Justification; Statistical Analysis Plan.
  • Provides 6 skeleton sections with [TODO] markers to accommodate institution-specific content.
  • Integrates outputs from design-study, calc-sample-size, and search-lit to ensure consistency and traceability.
  • Outputs can be adapted for different regulatory environments using the included ethics_checklist and protocol templates in references.

Quick Start

Provide the required inputs and let the skill generate a complete protocol draft using the templates and cross-skill outputs.
