About this skill
What does the pnasnexus-statistics skill do?

Use to enforce PNAS Nexus's statistics and reproducibility reporting — n and replication, test choice and assumptions, effect sizes with uncertainty, multiple-comparison control, randomization/blinding, sample-size justification, and reproducible code. Also covers whether a Registered Report (Stage 1/2) is the right route for confirmatory work.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill pnasnexus-statistics --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.
