Turns ML experiment artifacts into a strict analysis bundle: statistics, real figures, report. Built for checking significance, not for writing prose.

## What it does

The skill reads metric tables, training logs and checkpoints, then produces `analysis-report.md`, `stats-appendix.md`, `figure-catalog.md` and a `figures/` directory. It starts by validating what can actually be compared: metric direction, unit of analysis, run and seed counts, missing values. If a comparison is not statistically valid, it says so before running anything.

Statistics come next: descriptive summaries with `mean ± std`, a confidence interval, significance tests with stated assumptions, and effect sizes. The default expectation is to check parametric assumptions first and fall back to non-parametric tests when they fail. Multiple contrasts get multiple-comparison handling. Figures are generated from the data rather than described in words.

There is a read-only audit mode. Ask for a review, audit or dry run and the skill writes no files or figures, returning only valid and invalid statistics, blockers and claim candidates. Drafting a `Results` section or packaging publication-grade figures is out of scope, so it hands those off to other skills. One common trap it flags: a `subject × task` summary table is a repeated-measure summary, not an independent sample, so no winner claim should rest on it.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill results-analysis -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill results-analysis -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill results-analysis -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar results-analysis
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/results-analysis/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill results-analysis -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --path skills/results-analysis
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar --skill results-analysis -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/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar/tree/HEAD/skills/results-analysis/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- test whether model differences are significant across seeds
- compute confidence intervals and effect sizes for main contrasts
- plot comparison and training-dynamics figures from real logs
- run ablation analysis without mixing it into the primary comparison
- separate supported claims from wording the evidence cannot carry

## Example prompts
- analyze the experimental results in `runs/` and build a strict analysis bundle
- check significance between the baseline and our model on accuracy
- run an ablation analysis and generate figures from the training logs

description: This skill should be used when the user asks to "analyze experimental results", "run strict statistical analysis", "compare model performance", "generate scientific figures", "check significance", "do ablation analysis", or mentions interpreting experiment data with rigorous statistics and visualization. It focuses on strict analysis bundles, not Results-section prose.

# Results Analysis

Run **strict, evidence-first experimental analysis** for ML/AI research.

Use this skill to produce a **strict analysis bundle**:
- `analysis-report.md`
- `stats-appendix.md`
- `figure-catalog.md`
- `figures/`

When the user asks for review, audit, no-write, dry-run, or when inputs are incomplete, use **read-only audit mode** instead of producing files or figures. In that mode, output only valid/invalid statistics, blockers, claim candidates, and what evidence is missing. If invoked by `/analyze-results`, the command layer may write a blocker summary, but this skill should not create figures, reports, or polished conclusions from incomplete evidence.

Do **not** use this skill to draft a paper `Results` section or a full experiment wrap-up report. Those belong to `ml-paper-writing` or `results-report`.

## Core contract

### This skill is responsible for
- validating experiment artifacts and comparison units,
- running rigorous descriptive and inferential statistics,
- generating **real scientific figures** when data/logs are available,
- writing figure purposes, caption requirements, and interpretation checklists,
- surfacing limits, blockers, and missing evidence explicitly.

### This skill is not responsible for
- paper-ready `Results` prose,
- manuscript narrative polishing,
- paper-ready figure/table packaging with `pubfig` / `pubtab`,
- project-level experiment retrospectives.

If the user wants the complete post-experiment summary report, hand off to `results-report` after this bundle is ready. If the user wants publication-grade figures/tables, export parameters, publication QA, or figure/table redesign, hand off to `publication-chart-skill`.

## Non-negotiable quality bar

1. **Prefer real figures over figure specs.**
