longitudinal-analysis
Skill10 starsChanged 6 days agoMITView on GitHub
Runs a repeated-measures / panel analysis: descriptive statistics, a manipulation check, linear mixed models, mediation and sensitivity analysis. Python steps run anywhere; the mixed-model, mediation and sensitivity steps go through R and are skipped, not replaced, when Rscript is absent.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 27
Run this exact form — do not read the source tree:
- Very specific: line 35
Run everything, or one named step with --step lmm.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
longitudinal-analysis
Orchestrates a fixed pipeline of statistical steps over panel data and reports each step's status. It never substitutes hand-written Python for a missing R step.
- Stage:
gates· Sandbox: no · Dependencies:pandas(numpy, R with lme4/lavaan,python-docxoptional)
Quick Execution
Run this exact form — do not read the source tree:
python run.py --root <WS> --action list-steps -- --config config/examples/behavior_2x2x2.yamlvalidatethenlist-stepsshows which steps the config enables and which need R.- Run everything, or one named step with
--step lmm. - The gate lands in
<WS>/process/gates/longitudinal-analysis_<ts>.json.
When to use
- The data has repeated measures (one or more sessions per subject).
- The request names LMM, mixed model, mediation or sensitivity analysis.
- Descriptive statistics or a manipulation check are needed over panel data.
When NOT to use
- The data is a single cross-section — a plain test is enough.
- You intend to imitate a skipped R step in Python — never do that.
Actions
--action | Does | Extra arguments |
validate | Check the config | --config <cfg> |
list-steps | Show the enabled steps and their R needs | --config <cfg> |
run | Run the whole pipeline, or one step | --config <cfg> [--step lmm] |
export | Export the generated tables | --config <cfg> --format csv|docx |
Hard constraints
- Never hand-write Python to replace a skipped R step. Report the skip.
- Never install R. List the missing packages and stop.
- Report each step's own status; do not merge them into one verdict.
Outputs
<WS>/process/gates/longitudinal-analysis_<ts>.json— the gate result.- Per-step tables (CSV, or DOCX with
--format docx) underprocess/.
Failure handling
- A step reporting
skippedmeans R or an R package is missing — list it and stop. - An invalid config exits non-zero naming the field.
- A mid-pipeline error keeps earlier outputs and reports the failing step.
Limitations
- R packages (
lme4,lavaan,emmeans,jsonlite) must already be installed. - The mediation bootstrap count is the user's choice (default 5000) and dominates wall-clock time.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
