nature-statistics
Audit or improve manuscript statistical reporting, including experimental units
by yuan1z0825Free
Description
nature-statistics is an agent skill that audits and improves the statistical reporting in a manuscript, so that it is transparent, reproducible and appropriately bounded. It covers experimental units, replication, uncertainty, tests and the statistics shown in figures. It is a reporting and review skill, not a replacement for a statistician who reanalyses raw data. It only computes from data when you supply the data and explicitly ask for computation. Its default stance puts design transparency ahead of decorative statistical language. It asks three questions: what was measured, which unit was analysed, and what inference was claimed. It treats the independent experimental unit as the default sample size, and it does not silently count cells, fields of view, repeated readings, spectra, model runs or technical replicates as independent samples. It prefers effect sizes, uncertainty intervals, sample sizes and exact test definitions to significance-only wording. Where information is missing, it marks the gap for the authors rather than inventing sample sizes, tests, software versions, exclusions, randomisation or blinding.…

nature-statistics FAQ
What does it check?
Statistical reporting in a manuscript: experimental units, replication, uncertainty, tests and figure statistics.
What is the default sample size?
The independent experimental unit. Cells, fields of view and technical replicates are not counted as independent samples by default.
Will it recompute my statistics?
Only if you supply the raw data and explicitly ask for computation. It is not a substitute for a statistician.
What happens when information is missing?
It marks the gap as an author input needed, rather than inventing a value.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/yuan1z0825/nature-skills --skill nature-statistics.
Is it checked for security?
Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub, Socket and Snyk.
