Abductive analysis (Timmermans & Tavory) for theory-generating qualitative research. Theory-first approach with anomaly detection, theoretical casing, and rhetorical abduction for publication.

Build bibliographies from manuscript citations using Zotero. Extracts Author-Year in-text citations, matches against Zotero library via MCP, reviews issues, and generates formatted bibliographies in APA, ASA, or Chicago style.

Draft case justification sections for interview-based sociology articles. Five cluster styles (Minimal/Standard/Historical/Comparative/Policy) based on analysis of 32 Social Problems/Social Forces articles.

Develop causal diagrams (DAGs) from social-science research questions and literature, then render publication-ready figures using Mermaid, R, or Python.

Meta-skill for creating genre-analysis-based writing skills. Analyzes a corpus of article sections, discovers clusters, and generates complete skills with phases, cluster guides, and techniques.

Pragmatic qualitative analysis for interview data. Supports theory-informed or data-first approaches with systematic coding, quality indicators, and publication-ready synthesis.

Write article introductions and conclusions for sociology interview research. Takes theory and findings sections as input; uses genre analysis of 80 articles to guide cluster-specific framing.

Write-up support for qualitative interview research. Guides methods drafting, findings structure, quote use, and revision with quality checks.

Transform textbook chapters into engaging, evidence-based lectures. Applies cognitive load theory, narrative design (ABT), active learning, and produces Quarto reveal.js slides.

Build systematic literature databases using OpenAlex API. Phased workflow for search, screening, snowballing, annotation, and synthesis with structured user interaction.

Deep reading and synthesis of literature corpus. Theoretical mapping, thematic clustering, and debate identification using Zotero MCP for full-text access.

Draft publication-ready Theory sections for sociology research. Guides structure, paragraph functions, sentence craft, and calibration based on analysis of 80 Social Problems/Social Forces articles.

Draft publication-ready Methods sections for interview-based sociology articles. Three pathways (Efficient/Standard/Detailed) based on analysis of 77 Social Problems/Social Forces articles.

Simulate peer review by constructing reviewer personas from Zotero sources. Identifies relevant perspectives, retrieves full texts, builds reviewer profiles, and generates focused reviews on theory/methods and findings.

R statistical analysis for publication-ready sociology research. Phased workflow for DiD, IV, matching, panel methods, and more with pauses for user review.

Orchestrate manuscript revision by routing feedback to specialized writing skills. Parses reviewer/editor feedback, maps to sections, dispatches to lit-writeup/methods-writer/interview-bookends/case-justification, ensures coherence.

Stata statistical analysis for publication-ready sociology research. Phased workflow for DiD, IV, matching, panel methods, and more with pauses for user review.

Computational text analysis using R or Python. Topic models (LDA, STM, BERTopic), sentiment analysis, classification, and embeddings with systematic validation.
