Selects EQUATOR reporting guidelines (CONSORT, STROBE, RECORD, PRISMA, TRIPOD+AI, TARGET, STARD, CLAIM) for a study. Use when the user asks which reporting checklist applies.
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
# Reporting Checklist Match ## Skill Value - **Problem it solves:** Reporting requirements are often discovered too late, after the SAP or manuscript misses required design-specific items. - **Use when:** The user asks which checklist applies, mentions EQUATOR/reporting standards, or starts a study without a guideline. - **Output:** Canonical stack-profile fields for primary reporting_checklist and reporting_checklist_extensions, resolved through the evidence-backed guideline registry. - **Ask only if:** Only for routing facts that cannot be inferred from the research question, design, data source, or existing profile. - **Do not do:** Do not score a finished manuscript; reporting-checklist review happens during code/document review. - **Interaction:** Check repo/config/chat evidence first. Ask one decision-changing question at a time; use the current harness's blocking question UI when available, otherwise present numbered choices and wait. Picks the right reporting checklist(s) at PLAN time so the SAP is written against them, not corrected after the fact. Distinct from `method-reporting-checklist-reviewer` which validates AT REVIEW time -- this skill makes the upfront choice. …

How to install
mdr add sajor2000/methodsmith/method-checklist@sha256:127ab3b8782eaf6bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.73e5a37, 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.
