Classify a paper's study design (RCT, cohort, case-control, diagnostic-accuracy, systematic-review, animal-study, prediction-model, etc., or not_applicable) and dispatch to the correct downstream bias-risk/quality/reporting tool and specific variant (CASP has 8 variants, JBI ~6, RoB2 has parallel/cluster/crossover versions). Use this as the mandatory first step before running ANY of CASP, JBI, AMSTAR-2, NOS, RoB2, ROBINS-I, QUADAS-2, CONSORT, STROBE, ARRIVE, SPIRIT, TRIPOD, or…
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
# Study Design Tool Gate Classifies study design and dispatches to the right bias-risk/quality/reporting tool + variant — or determines none applies. Added per coverage-audit M11: the original graph had no node representing this dispatch decision at all; every A1/A2 tool was drawn as if it started with no gate. ## Execution Subagent — spawned via spawn-agent skill. ## Reference `references/tool-dispatch-table.md` — the full dispatch table (every study_design → tool + variant mapping). Read before drafting the prompt's decision, not summarized inline here (kept out of this SKILL.md body per Progressive Disclosure). ## "not_applicable" Is a Correct, Common Answer This is worth restating: most of these tools carry medical/clinical assumptions baked into their domains, and forcing a dispatch onto a paper that has no matching study design produces a meaningless result, not a conservative one. Do not treat a high not_applicable rate across a batch of CS/ML papers as a sign this SOP is failing to trigger correctly. <!-- BEGIN available-tables (generated) --> ## Available SOPs | SOP | When to use | | --- | --- | …

How to install
mdr add yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/study-design-tool-gate@sha256:484cbe46381c2a2aThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
