Guidance for creating, editing, and analyzing .xlsx workbooks while preserving formulas, formatting, and assumptions, leveraging pandas/openpyxl for data work and LibreOffice recalc to ensure error-free financial models.

Conversational research ideation assistant that helps scientists generate novel hypotheses, explore interdisciplinary analogies, challenge assumptions, and outline experiment pathways during early-stage planning.

A comprehensive guide for systematic statistical analysis, designed for academic research. This skill assists in selecting the correct hypothesis tests (t-test, ANOVA, regression, chi-square), checking assumptions (normality, homogeneity), performing advanced analyses (Bayesian methods, power analysis), calculating effect sizes, and generating full APA-formatted reports for publication.

Facilitates evidence-aware scientific ideation with independent generation, structured discussion, explicit assumptions, transparent evaluation, adversarial review, and decision logs. Use for early-stage research brainstorming and prioritizing candidate directions.

This skill extracts precise, pixel-level data from various chart types (bar, line, scatter, pie) and graphs presented in images. It generates a comprehensive structured data table, including confidence levels, axis details, and assumptions, making the raw data ready for spreadsheets or further analysis. Ideal for digitizing charts, transcribing graph values, or turning visual data into actionable formats.

A read-only tool designed to compare prediction-market baskets or themes against the user's existing knowledge base, portfolio notes, research memos, or financial context. It performs gap analysis, flagging potential conflicts, stale assumptions, and areas of missing research. This skill provides structured insights into fit and exposure without offering any investment or trading advice.

This guide provides a methodology for integrating theoretical models into empirical economics papers, especially for journals emphasizing empirical findings (e.g., AEJ: Applied). It teaches researchers how to ensure that theoretical components—such as mechanisms, welfare statements, or counterfactuals—serve to interpret, sharpen, or guide the existing empirical estimates, rather than leading the paper or replacing the core identification provided by the design. Focus on sufficient statistics and minimal model assumptions is key.

A comprehensive guide for authors aiming to rigorously prove the validity and robustness of their economic findings for top-tier journals. It covers three major pillars: pure theory (identifying load-bearing assumptions), structural econometrics (mapping parameters to data features), and experimental design (defining the estimand). Learn how to move beyond 'convergence' and establish true identification.

This guide provides a rigorous framework for strengthening economic manuscripts submitted to top journals, such as AEJ: Micro. It details how to systematically test the robustness of main results through theoretical extensions (e.g., relaxing assumptions, perturbations) and applied/experimental methods (e.g., sensitivity analyses, placebo tests). Learn how to identify extensions that truly 'earn their place' and significantly enhance the overall academic contribution of your work.

This guide provides strict guidelines for designing, auditing, and reporting empirical or simulation experiments, particularly for theoretical machine learning and statistics papers. It emphasizes mapping every empirical claim to specific evidence, ensuring statistical rigor (e.g., reporting uncertainty, baselines, seeds), and validating theoretical assumptions rather than optimizing for leaderboards. Essential for research reproducibility.

A comprehensive guide for structuring and defending the methodological design of social science manuscripts, particularly for high-impact journals like AJS. It covers diverse traditions—including quantitative, comparative-historical, ethnographic, and network analysis—ensuring the design rigorously supports the theoretical claim, rather than just presenting data. Use this when justifying case selection, identifying assumptions, or linking field observations to major theoretical arguments.

This guide provides a methodological framework for drastically streamlining complex academic models, whether theoretical or structural/empirical. It teaches how to Strip assumptions, retain only the necessary components, and present the argument such that the entire paper focuses on delivering one distinct, surprising insight. Generalizations and lengthy proofs belong in the appendix, keeping the main text maximally focused and concise.
