survey-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from unbias38/my-claude-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (2,884 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing academic questionnaires and measurement scales, including checks of their research quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define what to measure, design questionnaire items and rating scales, plan validation, and assess the result using COSMIN, Dillman, and psychometric practices.
Why use it?
It helps researchers create questions that measure the intended topic and meet common standards for published research.

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

survey-design 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 300 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Academic Survey/Questionnaire Design

Design questionnaires that meet academic publication standards, with built-in self-evaluation based on COSMIN, Dillman, and psychometric best practices.

Input

Collect the following from the user before starting. If any required field is missing, ask for it.

Required:

  1. Research purpose — What research question does this questionnaire answer?
  2. Target construct — What are you measuring? (one or more constructs)
  3. Target population — Who will fill out this questionnaire?
  4. Language — Questionnaire language (default: same as conversation language)

Optional:

  • Existing theory or model
  • Expected sub-dimensions
  • Item count limit
  • Special needs (cross-cultural, specific population, etc.)

Process

The workflow has two phases: an alignment phase (interactive) and an execution phase (autonomous).

Phase 1: Align — Construct Definition (interactive)

This is the only phase that requires user confirmation. Getting the construct definition and sub-dimensions right is critical because everything downstream depends on it. If this is wrong, the entire questionnaire is wasted effort.

Step 1: Load Reference Frameworks

Read all four reference files:

Step 2: Propose Construct Definition

Based on the user's research purpose, present the following to the user for confirmation:

  1. Operational definition of the construct (cite supporting literature/theory)
  2. Distinction from related concepts — how it differs from similar constructs
  3. Existing validated scales — list them, compare, explain why a new instrument is needed (or recommend adopting an existing one if it fits)
  4. Sub-dimension decomposition with definition and source for each
  5. Item blueprint — sub-dimension × planned item count

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

survey-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository unbias38/my-claude-skills (2 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 2,884 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
