## What it does

The skill structures a Data Management Plan aligned with requirements from NSF, NIH 2023 DMS Policy, ERC, or Horizon Europe. It organizes six core sections covering data description, open formats, storage routines, access controls, repository preservation, and team roles.

Execution relies on the `--funder` flag and an optional project document supplied via `--input`. When specific facts are missing from the input, the skill writes `[CLARIFY:]` prompts instead of inventing details. For human-subjects or restricted datasets, it integrates disclosure-avoidance steps, DUA procedures, and computational environment tracking like `renv.lock` or `requirements.txt`.

This tool will not submit proposals to grant portals on its own. You must copy the text into DMPTool, NIH ASSIST, or the Horizon Europe submission portal. It does not replace an IRB protocol or formal clinical-trial sharing agreements.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill data-management-plan -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/data-management-plan/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/data-management-plan/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill data-management-plan -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/data-management-plan/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill data-management-plan -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/data-management-plan/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow data-management-plan
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/data-management-plan/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill data-management-plan -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --path .claude/skills/data-management-plan
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/data-management-plan/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow --skill data-management-plan -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/pedrohcgs/claude-code-my-workflow/tree/HEAD/.claude/skills/data-management-plan/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- draft a funder-compliant DMP for NSF, NIH, ERC, or Horizon Europe grants
- document data access pathways for restricted datasets and DUA terms
- integrate reproducible environment specifications into grant data plans
- flag missing project metadata with clarification placeholders instead of hallucinations

## Example prompts
- /data-management-plan --funder nih --input quality_reports/specs/grant_draft.md
- Draft an NSF data management plan using the summary in proposal.md
- /data-management-plan --funder horizon --no-verify

name: data-management-plan
description: Draft a funder-compliant Data Management Plan (NSF DMP, NIH DMS Policy 2023, ERC, Horizon Europe) by composing the confidential-data and environment-capture primitives. Sections cover data description, formats/metadata, storage/backup, access/sharing, preservation/archiving, and roles. Use when user says "data management plan", "DMP", "DMSP", "NIH data sharing plan", "write the data plan for my grant", or when a grant proposal needs a data-management section. NOT a submission tool — produces a draft the user pastes into the funder portal (DMPTool, NIH ASSIST, Horizon Europe portal).

# `/data-management-plan` — Funder-Compliant DMP Generator

Produce a Data Management Plan ready to paste into a funder portal. This skill writes the prose and structure; it does **not** submit anywhere. It is a **composition** skill — it folds the disclosure-avoidance / IRB rules from [`.claude/rules/confidential-data.md`](../../rules/confidential-data.md) and the environment + replication-package plan from `/capture-environment` and `/replication-package` into a single funder-shaped document.

## When to use

- **Writing a grant proposal.** Every NSF, NIH, ERC, and Horizon Europe proposal needs a DMP (NSF), DMS Plan (NIH 2023 policy), or Data Management Plan (ERC/Horizon). `/grant-proposal` follows this skill for that section, through an Agent that reads this SKILL.md (the skill is user-invoked only, so it is followed, not invoked).
- **Before data collection on a funded project.** The plan is a commitment you make at award time and report against at renewal.
- **When restricted or human-subjects data is involved.** The access/sharing and preservation sections change materially — see Phase 2.

## When NOT to use

- For a clinical-trial data-sharing statement governed by ICMJE / ClinicalTrials.gov — use the trial sponsor's template.
- As a substitute for IRB protocol text — the DMP *references* IRB constraints; it is not the protocol itself.

## Inputs

- `$0` `--funder nsf|nih|erc|horizon` — target funder profile. If omitted, Phase 0 detects it from `--input` or asks once.
