Open Science Skills is a library of 43 agentic skills for Claude Code, with a parallel 41-skill library for OpenAI Codex, written for computational social scientists and digital humanists. Each skill is meant to work the way the field expects. Identify the data-generating process before proposing an estimator, and design experiments and instruments to a standard. Drafts are held to established reporting norms.

The library follows the research lifecycle. It covers survey design, list experiments, topic modeling, LLM text classification, VLM-based OCR pipelines, manuscript QA, multi-model orchestration, and transparent reporting under APSA, JARS, DA-RT, TOP, and FAIR expectations. Every skill is grounded in published methods sources and based on be
