Agent execution instructions:
- Determine this SKILL.md file's directory path as
SKILL_DIR. - Sub-skill path =
${SKILL_DIR}/<sub-skill>/SKILL.md. - Shared reference path =
${SKILL_DIR}/references/<ref-name>.
Shared References
All drafting sub-skills inherit these:
- references/apa_style_guide.md — numbers, statistics, notation, punctuation, formulas
- references/table_formatting.md — APA 7th table structure and examples
- references/appendix_template.md — shared appendix structure for methods and results
Sub-Skills
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
| q-eda | Exploratory data analysis (measurement-appropriate statistics to CSV + summary) |
| q-intro | Draft or refine introduction sections (phenomenon to theory to contribution) |
| q-litreview | Draft standalone literature reviews (progressive argument to earned RQs) |
| q-methods | Draft methods sections (data collection, analysis, validation procedures) |
| q-multimodal | Multimodal feature extraction (Pillow, openSMILE, Gemini visual semantic analysis) |
| q-results | Draft results sections (findings with APA tables and narrative flow) |
| q-tf | Topic finetuning (raw topics to theory-driven classification) |
Core Writing Principles
All drafting sub-skills follow these standards:
- Narrative prose; no bullet points, em-dashes, or standalone introductory paragraphs
- Prefer 3-12 sentence paragraphs; merge pre-table intros into the post-table narrative
- No unnecessary bold or italic emphasis in running text
- Follow ../references/apa_style_guide.md for APA formatting, numbers, notation, and formulas
- Use appendices for technical details; placeholders for pending information
- Cross-section coordination: compress in the intro what the lit review elaborates; each section does distinct work
