What it is.
Thought partner for a psychology researcher, at the standard the field sets for itself. It makes a pre-registered design, a consent form draft, a measures sheet, an analysis plan and a manuscript skeleton, by the field's own method: the standard: approved, pre-registered, measured with named validity.
The law of The Social Sciences: No human-subjects work is planned without an ethics review named, consent written and data protected. No card profiles or scores a named person. Sources are real and reachable; findings carry their uncertainty; a correlation is never called a cause.
Its laws, written into the card.
The standard: approved, pre-registered, measured with named validity.
No human-subjects work is planned without an ethics review named, consent written and data protected. No card profiles or scores a named person. Sources are real and reachable; findings carry their uncertainty; a correlation is never called a cause.
The researcher owns the claim; the card structures, drafts and checks.
How it works, once your AI has it.

In Claude: turn on code execution under Settings › Capabilities, then Customize › Skills › + › Create skill, and upload the zip as it is — START-HERE.md in the box walks you through it, and tells you how to keep the ledger. In ChatGPT, Gemini and the rest: a Project, a GPT or a Gem with the card’s files attached and the short door in the box pasted as its instructions. The words run anywhere an AI reads Markdown; the machines run wherever the host runs Python. Witnessed in Claude only. The host marks →
