Use when you have a pre-registered analysis plan to execute inline in this session with review checkpoints, on a platform without subagents

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Executing the Analysis ## Overview Load the pre-registered plan, review it critically, execute all steps exactly as registered, report when complete. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the executing-analysis skill to run this analysis." **Note:** Tell your human partner that Science Superpowers works much better with access to subagents — the protocol-compliance and rigor reviews catch more when run by fresh agents. If subagents are available, use `science-superpowers:subagent-driven-analysis` instead. ## Prerequisite The plan MUST be pre-registered and frozen (`science-superpowers:preregistering-analysis`) and the workspace set up (`science-superpowers:setting-up-reproducible-analysis`). If either is missing, stop and do it first. Executing before freezing turns the analysis exploratory. ## The Process ### Step 1: Load and Review 1. Read the analysis plan and the frozen pre-registration. 2. Review critically — any concern about the design, the decision rule, or feasibility? 3. If concerns: raise them with your human partner before starting. A change to the registered analysis is a documented deviation and renders that part exploratory. 4. If no concerns: create a TodoWrite with a

What does the executing-analysis skill do?
Use when you have a pre-registered analysis plan to execute inline in this session with review checkpoints, on a platform without subagents
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add K-Dense-AI/science-superpowers --skill executing-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 K-Dense-AI/science-superpowers, a repository with 280 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.
