This skill should be used when users are building or refining their Gioia data structure, mentions 'Gioia', 'data structure', 'themes', 'concepts', 'dimensions', '1st-order', '2nd-order', 'aggregate', or needs to validate/export their analytical hierarchy for publication.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> Script paths: `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}` below is this plugin's root folder, two levels above this skill's own folder. Claude Code fills it in. If you see it unfilled, still starting with a dollar sign (as in Codex, Copilot CLI or Kimi Code), put that folder's absolute path in its place before you run a command.
# gioia-methodology
Gioia method data structure building and validation. Helps researchers construct the three-level hierarchy (1st-order concepts, 2nd-order themes, aggregate dimensions) with validation and export capabilities.
## When to Use
Use this skill when:
- User is building or refining their data structure
- User mentions "Gioia", "data structure", "themes", "concepts", "dimensions"
- User needs to validate their analytical hierarchy
- User wants to export their framework for publication
- User asks about 1st-order vs 2nd-order concepts
## The Three-Level Hierarchy
```
AGGREGATE DIMENSIONS (Level 3 - Most Abstract)
↑ Researcher theorizes
│
SECOND-ORDER THEMES (Level 2 - Intermediate)
↑ Researcher interprets and groups
│
FIRST-ORDER CONCEPTS (Level 1 - Most Concrete)
↑ Grounded in participant language
```

How to install
mdr add linxule/interpretive-orchestration/gioia-methodology@sha256:27e88075bedf4e18The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.fabdbaf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
