revedres-comprehensiveness-and-balance
Use when testing exhaustiveness, risk-of-bias, heterogeneity, and sensitivity for a Review of Educational Research (RER) review or meta-analysis. Hardens the synthesis against omission and fragility; it does not build the conceptual spine (revedres-organizing-framework) or settle coding reliability and open materials (revedres-transparency-and-reproducibility).

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Comprehensiveness & Balance (revedres-comprehensiveness-and-balance) ## When to trigger - The corpus and framework exist, but you have not stress-tested coverage or robustness - A pooled effect is reported without heterogeneity, bias, or sensitivity analysis - You worry a reviewer will name an omitted study, school, or contradictory finding - Conflicting studies are being tallied rather than weighed by design quality ## Comprehensiveness: prove there are no holes RER asks for **comprehensive** reviews; the burden is on you to make exhaustiveness *provable*, not asserted. 1. **Saturation evidence.** Show that the search reached the point where new searches stopped yielding eligible studies (from `revedres-literature-synthesis`). 2. **Named-omission test.** Could an informed reviewer name an important study, research group, or adjacent literature you left out? If yes, include it or justify the boundary explicitly. 3. **Grey-literature & language reach.** Excluding dissertations, reports, or non-English work narrows scope and biases effects — acknowledge and, where feasible, widen. ## Balance: weigh evidence, never vote-count The amateur move is **vote-counting** — tallying signific

What does the revedres-comprehensiveness-and-balance skill do?
Use when testing exhaustiveness, risk-of-bias, heterogeneity, and sensitivity for a Review of Educational Research (RER) review or meta-analysis. Hardens the synthesis against omission and fragility; it does not build the conceptual spine (revedres-organizing-framework) or settle coding reliability and open materials (revedres-transparency-and-reproducibility).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill revedres-comprehensiveness-and-balance --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.
