What it does

When installed, the agent follows a set of statistics best practices when you analyze experimental results or draft a results section. It suggests a suitable test based on your data type and group structure, reminds you to check assumptions like normality and equal variance, and formats the output in APA style with effect sizes and confidence intervals. It is a reference guide written into the agent's instructions, not a software tool that runs calculations.

Great for

  • Researchers writing the results section of a paper who want APA-formatted statistics
  • Students learning which statistical test fits their data
  • Analysts who want a reminder to report effect sizes and confidence intervals alongside p-values

Skip it if

  • Replacing a statistician on high-stakes or complex study designs, since the guidance is a short generic checklist and may oversimplify (for example, it does not cover mixed models or survival analysis)
  • Anyone expecting the skill to run the calculations on their dataset; it contains no code and only shapes the agent's advice and wording

Try asking

  • “Which statistical test should I use to compare three independent groups with non-normal data?”
  • “Write an APA-formatted results paragraph for my t-test comparing treatment and control groups.”
  • “Check whether my data meets the assumptions for a one-way ANOVA and suggest alternatives if it doesn't.”
  • “Draft a results section that reports effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals for my correlation analysis.”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent your sample sizes, group structure, and whether data is paired or independent so it can pick the right test.
  • Ask the agent to explain its test choice and assumption checks, then verify them with a statistics package such as R, SPSS, or Python's SciPy.
  • Treat the APA templates as a formatting starting point and confirm the exact style against your journal's guidelines.
