Research skills

Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.

revedres-organizing-framework

Use when turning a screened, coded corpus into an analytic spine that advances theory or policy for a Review of Educational Research (RER) manuscript. Builds the conceptual contribution beyond a tally; it does not run the search (revedres-literature-synthesis) or appraise robustness/risk-of-bias (revedres-comprehensiveness-and-balance).

revedres-proposal-and-commissioning

Use when writing the protocol, fixing scope and eligibility, and (where applicable) preregistering a systematic review or meta-analysis before searching, for a Review of Educational Research (RER) manuscript. Produces the a-priori plan; it does not run the search (revedres-literature-synthesis) or impose the conceptual spine (revedres-organizing-framework).

revedres-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a question is synthesis-worthy and RER-scale before committing to a Review of Educational Research (RER) review or meta-analysis. Tests fit and frames the contribution; it does not run the search (revedres-literature-synthesis) or write the protocol (revedres-proposal-and-commissioning).

revedres-transparency-and-reproducibility

Use when settling coding reliability, open materials, PRISMA/MARS reporting, and a reproducible meta-analysis for a Review of Educational Research (RER) manuscript. Makes the review auditable and re-runnable; it does not run the substantive robustness analyses (revedres-comprehensiveness-and-balance) or design the exhibits (revedres-tables-figures).

revedres-workflow

Use when deciding which revedres-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a systematic review, meta-analysis, or critical integrative synthesis from question-scoping through revision for a Review of Educational Research (RER) manuscript. Routes — it does not replace — the specialized skills.

review-of-economic-studies

Use when targeting Review of Economic Studies (REStud) or deciding whether an economics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

rfs-empirical-design

Use when sample construction, estimator choice, factor/portfolio design, or measurement is the bottleneck for a The Review of Financial Studies (RFS) manuscript. Settles design choices that make the identification credible; does NOT pick the identification strategy or run robustness.

rfs-identification

Use when the causal-inference or asset-pricing identification strategy is the bottleneck for a The Review of Financial Studies (RFS) manuscript — quasi-experiments (DID, IV, RDD, event study) and factor-model identification. Stress-tests the design before drafting tables.

rje-data-analysis

Use when executing and stress-testing the empirical analysis for a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) industrial-organization manuscript — estimating structural demand/supply, entry, auction, or reduced-form models, then running the robustness, counterfactual, and inference checks IO referees expect. Analysis discipline, not study design.

rje-identification-strategy

Use when the identification or estimation strategy is the bottleneck for a RAND Journal of Economics (RJE) industrial-organization manuscript — structural demand/supply, entry and dynamic games, auctions, or reduced-form designs off mergers and regulation. Stress-tests the design to the IO-flagship bar before tables are drafted.
