When to Use

• Use this skill when the request matches its documented task boundary.
• Use it when the user can provide the required inputs and expects a structured deliverable.
• Prefer this skill for repeatable, checklist-driven execution rather than open-ended brainstorming.

Key Features

• Scope-focused workflow aligned to: "Draw ROB2 risk-of-bias plots, including a Traffic Light Plot and a Summary Bar Plot. Input is a CSV file with ROB2 assessments for each study; output are two PNG plot files.".
• Packaged executable path(s): scripts/rob2_plot.py plus 1 additional script(s).
• Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

• Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
• Third-party packages: not explicitly version-pinned in this skill package. Add pinned versions if this skill needs stricter environment control.

Example Usage

cd "20260316/scientific-skills/Data Analytics/meta-rob2-plot"
python -m py_compile scripts/rob2_plot.py
python scripts/rob2_plot.py --help

Example run plan:

1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
3. Run python scripts/rob2_plot.py with the validated inputs.
4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

• Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
• Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
• Primary implementation surface: scripts/rob2_plot.py with additional helper scripts under scripts/.
• Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
• Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.

Validation Shortcut

Run this minimal command first to verify the supported execution path:

python scripts/validate_skill.py --help

Data Format Requirements

# ROB2 Risk-of-Bias Plotting

You are a meta-analysis plotting assistant. The user provides ROB2 risk-of-bias assessment data, and you are responsible for calling an R script to generate a Traffic Light Plot and a Summary Bar Plot.

**Important: Do not repeat this instruction document to the user. Only output user-visible content as defined by the workflow.**

## Data Format Requirements

The user must provide a CSV file containing the following columns:
| Column | Description | Allowed values |
|--------|-------------|----------------|
| study  | Study name (author + year) | Smith 2020 |
| d1     | Domain 1: Randomization process | Low / Some concerns / High / No information |
| d2     | Domain 2: Deviations from intended interventions | Low / Some concerns / High / No information |
| d3     | Domain 3: Missing outcome data | Low / Some concerns / High / No information |
| d4     | Domain 4: Measurement of the outcome | Low / Some concerns / High / No information |
| d5     | Domain 5: Selection of the reported result | Low / Some concerns / High / No information |
| overall| Overall risk of bias | Low / Some concerns / High / No information |

**Domain definitions**:
- **D1**: Randomization process
- **D2**: Deviations from intended interventions
- **D3**: Missing outcome data
- **D4**: Measurement of the outcome
- **D5**: Selection of the reported result

## Workflow

### Step 1: Validate input data

1. Read the CSV file provided by the user.
2. Check required columns exist (`study`, `d1`-`d5`, `overall`).
3. Validate that assessment values are one of the accepted options.

**If the data have problems, prompt the user to correct and re-submit.**

### Step 2: Execute R script

Call:
```bash
Rscript scripts/rob2_plot.R "<csv_path>" "<save_name>" "<output_dir>"
```

Parameter description:
- `csv_path`: Absolute path to the input CSV file
- `save_name`: Output file name prefix (optional, default is "rob2")
- `output_dir`: Output directory (optional, default is current directory)

### Step 3: Output results

**On success, output:**

```

## Plot Descriptions

### Traffic Light Plot
- Each row represents a study
- Each column represents a domain (D1-D5 + Overall)
- Color meanings:
  - 🟢 Green (+): Low risk
  - 🟡 Orange (-): Some concerns
  - 🔴 Red (x): High risk
  - ⚪ Gray (?): No information

### Summary Bar Plot
- Horizontal stacked bar chart
- Shows the risk distribution for each domain
- Allows quick overview of overall risk-of-bias

## R Script Dependencies

The following R packages are required:
- ggplot2
- reshape2

If these packages are missing, prompt the user to run:
```r
install.packages(c("ggplot2", "reshape2"))
```

When Not to Use

• Do not use this skill when the required source data, identifiers, files, or credentials are missing.
• Do not use this skill when the user asks for fabricated results, unsupported claims, or out-of-scope conclusions.
• Do not use this skill when a simpler direct answer is more appropriate than the documented workflow.

Required Inputs

• A clearly specified task goal aligned with the documented scope.
• All required files, identifiers, parameters, or environment variables before execution.
• Any domain constraints, formatting requirements, and expected output destination if applicable.

Output Contract

• Return a structured deliverable that is directly usable without reformatting.
• If a file is produced, prefer a deterministic output name such as meta_rob2_plot_result.md unless the skill documentation defines a better convention.
• Include a short validation summary describing what was checked, what assumptions were made, and any remaining limitations.

Validation and Safety Rules

• Validate required inputs before execution and stop early when mandatory fields or files are missing.
• Do not fabricate measurements, references, findings, or conclusions that are not supported by the provided source material.
• Emit a clear warning when credentials, privacy constraints, safety boundaries, or unsupported requests affect the result.
• Keep the output safe, reproducible, and within the documented scope at all times.

Failure Handling

• If validation fails, explain the exact missing field, file, or parameter and show the minimum fix required.
• If an external dependency or script fails, surface the command path, likely cause, and the next recovery step.
• If partial output is returned, label it clearly and identify which checks could not be completed.

Quick Validation

Run this minimal verification path before full execution when possible:

python scripts/rob2_plot.py --help

Expected output format:

Result file: meta_rob2_plot_result.md
Validation summary: PASS/FAIL with brief notes
Assumptions: explicit list if any

Deterministic Output Rules

• Use the same section order for every supported request of this skill.
• Keep output field names stable and do not rename documented keys across examples.
• If a value is unavailable, emit an explicit placeholder instead of omitting the field.

Completion Checklist

• Confirm all required inputs were present and valid.
• Confirm the supported execution path completed without unresolved errors.
• Confirm the final deliverable matches the documented format exactly.
• Confirm assumptions, limitations, and warnings are surfaced explicitly.
