Can it help me identify flaws in my own research design?

Yes, it can evaluate study protocols and experimental designs for internal and external validity, helping you identify potential confounding variables and sample size issues before you begin.

What frameworks does this skill use to evaluate evidence?

This skill utilizes standardized scientific frameworks including GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations) and the Cochrane Risk of Bias (ROB) assessment.

Is this tool intended for peer review?

While it provides a structured and systematic approach to critiquing papers, it is designed to assist researchers and should be used as a supplement to expert human judgment.

How does it handle statistical analysis review?

The skill evaluates statistical test appropriateness, p-value interpretations, confidence intervals, and checks for common errors like p-hacking or ignoring regression to the mean.

Does this skill support visual data representation?

Yes, it integrates with the scientific-schematics skill to automatically generate publication-quality diagrams, flowcharts, and bias assessment visualizations.
