# /preregister — Preregistration Document Generator
> **Source.** This skill is adapted from [`pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow`](https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow). The three-registry structure (OSF / AsPredicted / AEA RCT), the MUST / SHOULD / MAY clarity-flag taxonomy, and the retrospective-preregistration refusal gate are Pedro H.C. Sant'Anna's; this fork tunes the experiment templates for quantitative-marketing designs (online vignettes, MTurk / Prolific, conjoint, lab eye-tracking, livestreaming field tests).
Produce a registry-ready preregistration document. The user uploads the result to a real registry (OSF / AsPredicted / AEA RCT Registry) — this skill writes the prose and structure, it does not submit anywhere.
## Why preregister
Preregistration is a written commitment to your hypotheses, design, and analysis plan **before** you see the data (or, for observational analyses, before you analyse the realised focal outcome). It separates confirmatory tests from exploratory tests and protects against p-hacking, HARKing, and forking paths. Marketing's top journals (MKSCI, JMR, JCR, MS) increasingly expect preregistration for experimental work; AEA-style field experiments require it.
Marketing fits each registry roughly as follows:
- **Online experiments, vignettes, conjoint, eye-tracking** -> **AsPredicted** is the default short form. **OSF** when more structure is needed (multiple DVs, complex sampling).
- **Field experiments / RCTs** -> **AEA
