Indexed Skills (44)
fable-orchestrate
Run a multi-model orchestration workflow led by Fable 5, the strongest model on the team. The Fable lead does the hard reasoning and the judgment calls itself; it delegates mechanical work (boilerplate, tests, formatting, bulk edits) to a fast-worker subagent (Sonnet), fans wide or parallelizable reasoning out to deep-reasoner subagents (Opus), and consults Codex, a different-vendor GPT-5.6 (Sol by default) peer, as a decorrelated cross-check on high-stakes, hard-to-verify calls. Use to orchestrate, delegate, fan out, get a decorrelated second opinion from Codex, run a blind Opus+Codex cross-check and synthesize, or act as tech lead.
advisor
Consult an independent, read-only GPT-5.6 advisor before committing to a substantive interpretation, approach, or final result. Not for routine work, implementation, or file edits. Always gpt-5.6-sol at xhigh effort, the flagship tier at its strongest routine setting.
citation-check
Audit citation existence and fabrication risk, in-text/reference parity, DOIs, claim support, and style.
conjoint-cleaning
Clean and reshape Qualtrics conjoint exports to analysis-ready long format.
conjoint-design
Design conjoint experiments covering attributes, power, and AMCE/AMIE estimation. Use for conjoint design choices, attribute tables, estimands, and power planning.
conjoint-diagnostics
Diagnose conjoint design integrity, estimation choices, and validity.
cross-national-design
Design cross-national survey experiments covering power, equivalence, and localization. Use for multi-country sampling, measurement comparability, and instrument adaptation.
diverge-codex
Delegate creative divergence to a fresh Codex subagent before implementation. Use when the user explicitly asks Codex to delegate brainstorming, obtain an independent Codex context, or keep implementation separate from approach generation. Generate 3–5 conceptually distinct approaches, pause for selection, then assign the selected approach for implementation.
diverge
Before implementing, generate 3-5 conceptually distinct approaches labeled by creativity dimension (Novel, Surprising, Diverse, Conventional), then hold for selection. Brainstorm-then-select to resist defaulting to the most obvious solution.
fact-check
Fact-check manuscript claims against cited sources in a per-source Markdown knowledge base. Use to audit claim support, overclaiming, direction, scope, and misattribution after source intake is complete.
fair-check
Audit manuscript and replication package against FAIR open-science principles.
doc-to-markdown
Read or convert any document a research workflow hands you — PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, or CSV. Use whenever a document has to be read, opened, quoted, summarized, searched, extracted, or added to a source library. Decides whether to read the file directly or convert it, picks the converter from the document's actual structure, and decides whether the resulting Markdown is a tracked artifact or a scratch file to delete.
46-orchestrate
Orchestrate complex work as the Codex lead, with a gpt-5.6-sol lead at xhigh effort owning decomposition, integration, and verification while delegating bounded work to cheaper GPT-5.6 tiers and a cross-vendor Claude peer. Not for routine single-context work. Use when the user explicitly asks to orchestrate, delegate, fan out, parallelize, assign subagents, obtain independent checks, or have Codex act as tech lead.
figure-table-audit
Audit figures, tables, captions, cross-references, and statistical notes.
figures
Design and format publication-quality figures. Use for chart choice, color, scales, legends, captions, accessibility, and reproducible figure workflows.
hypothesis-building
Build falsifiable causal hypotheses. Use for DAGs, FPCI, equivalence testing, mechanism specification, and deriving testable predictions from theory.
journal-review
Draft a senior peer-review report on a social-science manuscript.
list-experiment
Design and diagnose list experiments (item count technique).
literature-review
Build or audit a literature review. Use for evidence maps, gap analysis, contribution checks, source verification, and synthesis planning.
llm-calibration-logprobs
Analyze LLM token logprobs and calibration. Use for per-decision confidence, ECE, Brier scores, reliability diagrams, and low-confidence triage.
methods-reporting
Check methods reporting against CONSORT, JARS, DA-RT standards.
model-committee-fable
Run a deliberative two-model committee between GPT-5.6 "Sol" and Claude Opus 5, chaired by Fable 5. Same two deliberating members as model-committee; the difference is the chair — Fable 5 aggregates the scores, applies the tie rule, and synthesizes the decision, so a lightweight Claude-family chair handles the tally and synthesis. Use when the user needs one consequential decision from multiple defensible options and wants a Fable-chaired deliberation. Suitable for architecture, research design and interpretation, manuscript strategy, ambiguous diagnosis, evaluation design, and policy or standards tradeoffs. Not for factual lookups, independent-coder reliability, open-ended brainstorming, routine implementation, or final high-stakes professional judgment.
model-committee-sol
Run a deliberative two-model committee between GPT-5.6 "Terra" and Claude Opus 5, chaired by GPT-5.6 "Sol." Same two deliberating members as model-committee; the difference is the chair — Sol aggregates the scores, applies the tie rule, and synthesizes the decision. Use when the user needs one consequential decision from multiple defensible options and wants a Sol-chaired deliberation. Suitable for architecture, research design and interpretation, manuscript strategy, ambiguous diagnosis, evaluation design, and policy or standards tradeoffs. Not for factual lookups, independent-coder reliability, open-ended brainstorming, routine implementation, or final high-stakes professional judgment.
model-committee
Run one consequential, contestable decision through a deliberative committee of GPT-5.6 and Claude Opus 5, chaired by opus (default), fable, or sol. Not for factual lookups, brainstorming, routine implementation, independent-coder reliability, or final professional judgment. Use when several options are defensible and the two model families should propose, critique, revise, and cross-rank under a predeclared rubric.
model-council-voting
LLM council/panel voting — multi-model coders, consensus rules, inter-rater agreement (kappa, alpha), correlated-error diagnostics.
narrative-building
Draft or audit scientific introductions. Use for argument logic, framing, contribution structure, and coherence across multiple studies or experiments.
paper-review-lite-codex
Run a cross-model adversarial pre-submission audit from Codex. Use when a user explicitly requests the heavier paper-review-lite-codex workflow, independent Codex and Claude review passes, or cross-model verification of a manuscript. Apply the paper-review-lite protocol, cross-check findings against the manuscript, and retain only evidence-grounded issues.
paper-review-lite
Run a pre-submission manuscript audit covering argument, numerics, references, writing, figures, methods, preregistration, and replication readiness.
paper-tex
Typeset a working paper or journal submission in house-style LaTeX from Markdown, Word, TeX, ODT, RTF, or HTML. Use to convert drafts, build PDFs, or prepare journal-specific spacing, limits, anonymization, disclosures, and citations.
post-ocr-cleanup
Clean post-OCR research text. Use for correction, quality assurance, multilingual handling, uncertainty preservation, and provenance-aware cleanup.
pre-registration-writing
Write pre-analysis plans and preregistrations. Use for PAP structure, registry requirements, estimands, analysis strategy, exclusions, and deviation planning.
replication-package
Scaffold or audit a social-science replication package at a target directory. Generates folder structure, README, master.R, figure/table crosswalk, codebook template, LICENSE placeholder, .gitignore, and pre-release checklist. Adapted from Yusaku Horiuchi's replication-package-guide with FAIR-principle integration; platform-neutral (Harvard Dataverse, OSF, Zenodo, GitHub releases, institutional archives).
research-repo
Scaffold or audit an entire research project repository organized around its source library. Use when starting, structuring, organizing, or reviewing a research repo. Build sources/{og,md,unprocessed}, references.bib, a PDF-to-Markdown converter, a repo-local process-source skill, AGENTS.md, .gitignore, .venv, and the relevant analysis/manuscript/review folders; or audit an existing layout. Not for one-PDF intake or publication replication packages.
research-wayfinder
Plan a research project as a durable decision map, resolving one design decision per session until the destination is a defensible, pre-registerable design. Not for executing analyses or writing the paper. Use at the start of a project, when a design has more open decisions than one conversation holds, or when planning keeps restarting.
spawn
Spawn full peer Codex or Claude sessions in their own panes and git worktrees — real sessions, not subagents — briefed by the lead and merged back. Not for bounded consults a subagent covers. Use when work must outlive or run beside this session, needs its own worktree, or must stay user-steerable.
survey-design
Design survey instruments. Use for question wording, scales, flow, pretesting, respondent burden, and social-desirability mitigation.
tables
Design and format publication-quality tables. Use for column order, row grouping, notes, statistical precision, accessibility, and reproducibility.
text-classification
Design and validate LLM-based text classification. Use for codebooks, prompts, validation samples, agreement statistics, and reporting model-coded data.
topic-modeling
Design and diagnose structural topic models. Use for STM specification, topic-count selection, coherence-exclusivity tradeoffs, validation, and interpretation.
vlm-ocr-evaluation
Compare OCR systems before a bulk run: candidate set, stratified ground truth, CER/WER, normalization, per-language and per-stratum accuracy.
vlm-ocr-pipeline
Design VLM-based OCR pipelines. Use for model selection, prompting, architecture, multilingual documents, structured output, and evaluation planning.
qualtrics-ops
Operate a live Qualtrics survey via the v3 APIs without breaking fielding. Publish gating, quotas, flow routing, embedded data, panel-vendor redirects, and read-back verification.
survey-data-audit
Audit fielded survey response data for registered elements, data quality, bot and AI-automation screening, and sample integrity. Emits an appendix-ready quality report.
survey-flow-audit
Pre-fielding audit of a live survey over the platform API, with an optional browser walk. Consent-before-anything gates, publish state, force-response completeness, quotas, vendor redirects, anti-bot instrumentation, language-arm symmetry.
