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.".

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:
- Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
- Edit the in-file
block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.CONFIG - Run
with the validated inputs.python scripts/rob2_plot.py - 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:
with additional helper scripts underscripts/rob2_plot.py
.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
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
- Read the CSV file provided by the user.
- Check required columns exist (
,study
-d1
,d5
).overall - 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:
Rscript scripts/rob2_plot.R "<csv_path>" "<save_name>" "<output_dir>"
Parameters:
--- name: meta-rob2-plot description: "ROB2,(Traffic Light Plot)(Summary Bar Plot)。ROB2CSV,PNG。" argument-hint: "<CSV> [] []" allowed-tools: Bash(Rscript *), Read, Write, Glob --- # 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:** ``` ═══════════════════════════════════════════ ROB2 Risk-of-Bias Plotting Completed ═══════════════════════════════════════════ [Included studies] {n} [Output files] • Traffic Light Plot: {output_dir}/{save_name}_rob2_light_plot.png • Summary Bar Plot: {output_dir}/{save_name}_rob2_bar_plot.png [Risk-of-bias summary] Domain Low Some concerns High No info ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── D1 (Randomization) 8 2 0 0 D2 (Deviations) 7 3 0 0 D3 (Missing data) 9 1 0 0 D4 (Measurement) 6 4 0 0 D5 (Reporting) 8 2 0 0 Overall 5 4 1 0 [Overall assessment] • Low risk studies: {n_low} ({pct_low}%) • Some concerns: {n_some} ({pct_some}%) • High risk studies: {n_high} ({pct_high}%) ═══════════════════════════════════════════ ``` --- ## 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
unless the skill documentation defines a better convention.meta_rob2_plot_result.md - 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.
