README

scto — SurveyCTO Design Skill for Claude Code

A Claude Code skill that turns natural-language survey design requests into production-ready SurveyCTO `.xlsx` files and inline sheet tables. Built for development economists, field researchers, and survey programmers.

What it does

Invoke this skill to:

Build a full survey form from a module list or description
Add a section or module to an existing form (household roster, agricultural plot roster, food consumption, health module, etc.)
Debug a form — diagnose broken skip logic, repeat errors, constraint failures, or pulldata issues
Generate the .xlsx file via a self-contained Python/openpyxl script, ready to upload to SurveyCTO

The skill produces:

Inline pipe-separated sheet tables (survey / choices / settings)
A Python/openpyxl script that writes the .xlsx file
The saved .xlsx file

Who it's for

Development economics researchers running household, agricultural, health, or panel surveys
Field coordinators programming CAPI instruments in SurveyCTO or ODK
Survey programmers building forms with complex rosters, cascading selects, preloaded data, or audio audit
Anyone designing questionnaires for RCTs, impact evaluations, or LSMS-style surveys
