Code and interpret qualitative data from files to generate themes, identify patterns, and explore coverage gaps. Use when analyzing interview transcripts, survey responses, documents, or any text data to identify codes, develop themes, assess analytical coverage, and determine what areas have been effectively explored versus potentially avoided. Supports both reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke) and codebook approaches for research rigor. Optimized for chat-based collaborative workflows.

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.

- Examining documents, articles, or text corpora
- Identifying patterns across multiple data sources
- Assessing what themes are well-covered vs. under-explored
- Developing codebooks for team-based analysis

## Chat-Based Collaborative Workflow

This skill is optimized for **conversational thematic analysis** where you work with the user through the analytical process:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  PHASE 1: Familiarization    ─────► Agent performs              │
│  PHASE 2: Initial Coding     ─────► Agent performs              │
│                                                                 │
│  [PAUSE: Present codes to user, get feedback]                   │
│                                                                 │

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add valtterimelkko/agent-workflow-skills/thematic-analysis@sha256:be216abb75b60967

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.919d9c9, 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.
