Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Mediation Meta-Analyst **Methods for synthesizing mediation effects across multiple studies** Use this skill when working on: meta-analysis of indirect effects, cross-study effect aggregation, heterogeneity assessment in mediation, individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis, or systematic reviews of mediation studies. --- ## Meta-Analysis Fundamentals ### Why Meta-Analysis of Mediation is Challenging | Challenge | Description | Solution Approach | |-----------|-------------|-------------------| | Non-normal effects | Product $ab$ is not normally distributed | Use appropriate pooling methods | | Correlated paths | $a$ and $b$ may be correlated | Model correlation structure | | Heterogeneity | Effects vary across studies | Random effects models | | Missing information | Studies report different statistics | Imputation or subset analysis | | Publication bias | Small studies with null effects unpublished | Sensitivity analysis | ### Effect Size Measures | Measure | Formula | Use Case | |---------|---------|----------| | Unstandardized $ab$ | $a \times b$ | Same scales across studies | | Partially standardized | $a \times b / SD_Y$ | Standardize by outcome only | | Fully standard

What does the mediation-meta-analyst skill do?
Meta-analysis frameworks and methods for mediation studies
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill mediation-meta-analyst --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/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 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.
