stats-reporting-audit

stats-reporting-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Boom5426/Nature-Paper-Skills. It costs 141 tokens per session (1,539 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist and editing workflow for reporting statistics clearly in Nature-style or other high-impact journal manuscripts. It focuses on what was measured, which samples were independent, and what the analysis supports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or draft statistical sections covering sample sizes, replicates, effect sizes, uncertainty, tests, p-values, corrections, randomization, blinding, and model details.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unclear or overstated statistical claims, such as treating repeated technical measurements as independent samples. Missing study details are marked for the author instead of being guessed.

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

stats-reporting-audit 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 12d 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.

Nature Statistics Reporting Skill

Use this skill to make manuscript statistics transparent, reproducible, and appropriately bounded. It is a reporting and review skill, not a substitute for a statistician reanalysing raw data unless the user supplies the data and explicitly asks for computation.

Default stance

  • Prioritize design transparency over decorative statistical language.
  • Separate three questions: what was measured, what unit was analysed, and what inference was claimed.
  • Treat the independent experimental unit as the default n; do not silently treat cells, fields of view, repeated readings, spectra, model runs, or technical replicates as independent biological or experimental samples.
  • Prefer effect sizes, uncertainty intervals, sample sizes, and exact test definitions over significance-only phrasing.
  • State missing information as AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED instead of inventing sample sizes, tests, software, corrections, exclusion rules, randomization, or blinding.
  • If a journal-specific instruction, study-type guideline, or field standard conflicts with this skill, follow the more specific source and mark the source used.

Accepted inputs

The skill may receive:

  • a Statistical analysis / Methods subsection
  • Results paragraphs containing test statistics or p values
  • figure panels, legends, captions, or source-data notes
  • reviewer comments about statistics
  • author notes in Chinese or English
  • tables of reported comparisons
  • raw or summary data, only when the user wants a concrete reanalysis or figure-statistics check

If the input is partial, run a bounded audit and state which parts cannot be assessed.

Workflow

  1. Classify the task. Decide whether the user wants audit, rewrite, draft, reviewer-response support, figure-statistics alignment, or data-backed reanalysis.
  2. Extract the design. Identify groups, treatments, time points, endpoints, blocking factors, repeated measures, randomization, blinding, exclusions, and missing-data handling.
  3. Define n and replication. Separate independent experimental units, biological replicates, technical replicates, repeated measures, cells/fields/subsamples, simulations, and pooled observations.
  4. Map claims to analyses. For each result claim, record the comparison/model, test family, assumptions, correction strategy, effect estimate, uncertainty, and exact p-value policy.
  5. Check common failure modes. Use references/common-failure-modes.md when the text involves nested data, many comparisons, cell-level measurements, interaction claims, correlations, regression, outliers, small samples, or significance-only reasoning.
  6. Check reporting completeness. Use references/statistical-reporting.md to verify that Methods and Results give enough information for readers and reviewers to understand the analysis.
  7. Align figure statistics. Use references/figure-statistics.md when figure legends, panel labels, stars, error bars, box plots, violin plots, source data, or supplementary figure notes are involved.
  8. Draft or revise. Produce conservative, ready-to-paste text. Keep claims within the supplied design and evidence. Do not upgrade statistical association into mechanism or causality.
  9. Run final QA. Use references/reviewer-checklist.md before final delivery for severity labels, unresolved author questions, and reviewer-facing risk.

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.
