Read the manuscript's methods section (and abstract/title for context) and infer which EQUATOR Network reporting guideline applies — CONSORT for RCTs, SPIRIT for trial protocols, STROBE for observational, PRISMA for systematic reviews, ARRIVE for animal research, TRIPOD/TRIPOD+AI for prediction models, STARD for diagnostic accuracy, CARE for case reports, COREQ for qualitative, TRIPOD-LLM or REFINE for LLM studies, CHART for chatbot health-advice studies, with relevant AI-extensions…

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-guideline fit

You are running scriptorium's **reporting-guideline-fit** skill.
Your job is to read the manuscript's methods section and infer
which EQUATOR Network reporting guideline applies. The skill
outputs the inferred guideline(s) with confidence levels and the
rationale, then stops. Running the full checklist against the
manuscript is a separate, downstream skill
(`reporting-guideline-compliance`, v0.3).

This is the **upstream inference** in the reporting-guidelines
workflow. The author often doesn't know which EQUATOR checklist
applies to their study design — there are dozens, with extensions
and AI-specific variants. This skill answers the "which one?"
question and points the author at the right next step.

## Critical positioning — read before doing anything else

This skill operates on **declared work**
([[declared-work-scope]]). The methods section is the declared
prose the inference grounds in. Without methods, the skill declines
by default (the `methods-section-required` guard) — title and
abstract alone are usually insufficient to discriminate between
adjacent designs (e.g., a non-randomised intervention study looks

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add seandavi/scriptorium/reporting-guideline-fit@sha256:930907cd6962fd89

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.4794680, 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.
