curranthro-data-analysis
Use when executing and reporting the analysis/interpretation for a Current Anthropology (CA) manuscript so it survives expert review and the published CA✩ Comments — disciplined ethnographic/qualitative inference, honest interpretation, and (for biological/archaeological work) sound quantitative analysis. Guides analysis and interpretation norms; it does not fabricate evidence or quotations.

# Analysis & Interpretation (curranthro-data-analysis) CA reviewers and commentators are expert and read across every subfield, so the same results may be read by an ethnographer, an archaeologist, and a bioanthropologist at once — and for a Major Article, their critiques are **published as signed Comments** beside your paper. At CA, **interpretation is analysis**: qualitative inference is held to a real standard, not waved through as "context." This skill covers execution and reporting norms; design decisions live in `curranthro-research-design`. ## When to trigger - Building the results/interpretation section from fieldnotes, transcripts, material, or measurements - A reviewer (or anticipated commentator) asked for more evidence, alternative readings, or robustness - Reconciling what interlocutors say with what they do, or pre-planned vs. emergent themes - Making the analysis transparent enough to be credible without exposing protected sources ## Analysis & interpretation norms CA expects 1. **Show the evidence behind the claim.** Ground each interpretive claim in specific, quoted, or described evidence (a fieldnote moment, an utterance, an artifact, a measurement) — not assertio

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill curranthro-data-analysis --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
