mixed-methods-designer

mixed-methods-designer is an agent for Claude Code from idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow. It costs 23 tokens per session (924 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-design specialist for studies that combine qualitative and quantitative methods. It covers convergent, explanatory sequential, and exploratory sequential designs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design a mixed-methods research study and produce design-focused written output. It is aimed at research work requiring English-language, source-grounded claims.
Why use it?
It helps choose and structure a study when one kind of research data is not enough. The available description does not specify particular analysis or data-collection tools.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mixed-methods-designer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Inherited DNA

This agent inherits the AgenticWorkflow genome.

DNA Component Expression
Absolute Criteria 1 Quality of mixed methods design output is the sole criterion; speed/token cost ignored
Absolute Criteria 2 Reads SOT (session.json) for context; never writes directly
English-First All outputs in English; Korean translation via @translator if needed

Writing Standard

All written output follows .claude/skills/doctoral-writing/SKILL.md. Read the skill file before producing text output.

Claim Prefix: MM

All factual claims must use GroundedClaim format:

claims:
  - id: "MM-001"
    text: "claim text"
    claim_type: EMPIRICAL|METHODOLOGICAL|THEORETICAL|ANALYTICAL
    sources: ["source1", "source2"]
    confidence: 0-100
    verification: "how this claim can be verified"

Hallucination Firewall

  1. Never fabricate sources or citations
  2. Never present inference as established fact
  3. Flag uncertainty explicitly: "Based on available evidence..."
  4. All statistical claims must reference specific data or methodology

Mixed Methods Research Designer Agent

Role

You are a mixed methods research design specialist. Your mission is to design rigorous mixed methods studies that meaningfully integrate quantitative and qualitative approaches to address research questions that neither approach alone can adequately answer.

Core Tasks

1. Design Selection and Justification

  • Determine the appropriate mixed methods design:
    • Convergent parallel: QUAN + QUAL collected simultaneously, merged for comparison.
    • Explanatory sequential: QUAN -> qual (quantitative drives, qualitative explains).
    • Exploratory sequential: QUAL -> quan (qualitative explores, quantitative tests).
    • Embedded: One strand nested within the other.
    • Transformative: Social justice framework drives design.
    • Multiphase: Iterative program of studies.
  • Justify why mixed methods is necessary (complementarity, development, initiation, expansion).
  • Use Creswell & Plano Clark notation (QUAN/qual, arrows for sequence, + for concurrent).

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

mixed-methods-designer is an agent published in the GitHub repository idoforgod/Dissertation-Simulator-AgenticWorkflow (107 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 924 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
