Inclusion Criteria FAQs

Question 1

When should I use this Claude Code Skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill when you are screening large volumes of literature, specifically during the title/abstract screening phase or the full-text review phase. It is also ideal for generating documentation required for PRISMA reporting.

Question 2

How does this skill improve my research workflow?

Accepted Answer

It improves efficiency by automating the initial filter of studies and reduces human bias by applying consistent logic. It also simplifies the documentation process by recording specific exclusion reasons for every paper reviewed.

Question 3

What does the Inclusion Criteria skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill systematically applies eligibility criteria to research papers and datasets. It uses the PICOS framework to ensure that study selection is rigorous, documented, and reproducible for systematic reviews or meta-analyses.

Question 4

What frameworks and standards does it support?

Accepted Answer

The skill natively supports the PICOS framework (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Study design) and is designed to help researchers maintain PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) compliance.

Question 5

Can it differentiate between inclusion and exclusion logic?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The skill handles the nuanced logic required for different phases, such as liberal inclusion during abstract screening to maintain high sensitivity, and strict exclusion during full-text review to maintain high specificity.
