Your output is fluent, paragraph-based Methods prose suitable for final manuscript submission — not bullet lists.\n\n## When to Use\n\n- Drafting or substantially revising a Methods section for an IMRAD-format manuscript\n- Ensuring Methods coverage aligns with a specific reporting guideline (CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, TRIPOD, ARRIVE, etc.)\n- Verifying that every variable, outcome, and analysis reported in Results has a matching Methods statement\n- Adding reproducibility-critical details: equipment specs, reagent concentrations, normalization procedures, software versions\n- Adapting Methods text to meet a journal's word limit, required subsection headings, and mandatory declarations\n\n## Input Validation\n\nThis skill accepts:\n- A study description, protocol summary, or existing Methods draft\n- Optionally: target journal name, study type, reporting guideline, statistical details\n\nOut-of-scope:\n- Fabricating results, data, or statistical outputs that do not come from the user\n- Writing a full manuscript (only Methods section)\n- Providing medical advice or clinical recommendations\n\n> \"Method Writing produces Methods section text. Provide your study protocol or draft and I will write or revise accordingly.\"\n\n## Core Workflow\n\n### Step 1 — Identify Study Type and Reporting Standard\n\nDetermine:\n- **Study design**: RCT, observational cohort/case-control/cross-sectional, systematic review/meta-analysis, diagnostic study, animal study, basic science/in vitro, prediction model\n- **Applicable reporting guideline**: CONSORT (RCT), STROBE (observational), PRISMA (systematic review), TRIPOD (prediction model), ARRIVE (animal), STARD (diagnostic)\n- **Target journal**: if specified, note any journal-specific structure, word limit, or required declarations\n\nIf the study type is unclear, ask one focused question before proceeding.\n\n### Step 2 — Collect Required Inputs\n\nThe minimum information needed to write a complete Methods section:\n\n**Always required:**\n- Study design and setting (single-center? dates?)\n- Participant/sample eligibility criteria (inclusion/exclusion)\n- Primary and secondary outcomes/endpoints with their measurement instruments\n- Main statistical analysis approach\n\n**Required by study type:**\n- RCT: randomization method, allocation concealment, blinding, sample size calculation\n- Observational: exposure definition, follow-up structure, confounders addressed\n- Systematic review: search strategy, databases, screening process, data extraction, risk-of-bias tool\n- Prediction model: development vs validation cohort, predictor selection method, calibration/discrimination metrics\n- Basic science: reagent details (manufacturer, catalog, concentration), equipment (model, settings), replicates structure\n\n**Optional but adds quality:**\n- Ethics approval ID and consent type\n- Data availability / repository\n- Software and version used\n- Sensitivity analyses or subgroup plan defined a priori\n\nIf critical items are missing, ask for them before writing. Do not invent details.\n\n### Step 3 — Write the Methods Section\n\nProduce full paragraphs organized into the standard IMRAD Methods subsections:\n\n1. **Study design and oversight** — design label, ethics approval, consent statement\n2. **Participants / samples** — eligibility criteria, recruitment setting, dates, sample handling\n3. **Randomization and blinding** (RCT only) — method, block size, allocation concealment, who was blinded\n4. **Intervention or exposure** — what was done, timing, dosage, control condition\n5. **Outcomes** — primary outcome with its measurement instrument and timing; secondary outcomes; blinding of assessors\n6. **Sample size** — power, alpha, expected effect size, attrition allowance\n7. **Statistical analysis** — analysis population (ITT/PP), primary model, assumption checks, effect size metrics with CIs, multiple-comparison control, missing-data strategy, software and version\n8. **Data management and availability** — recording, storage, anonymization, access, compliance\n\nWrite in full sentences. Do not use bullet lists in the final output. Define abbreviations at first use. Use past tense for completed studies.\n\n### Step 4 — Reporting Guideline Check\n\nAfter drafting, check coverage against the applicable guideline:\n- Identify any required item that is missing or incomplete\n- Note which checklist items are addressed in other sections (e.g., CONSORT flow diagram belongs in Results/Figure)\n- Flag items that require journal-specific adaptation\n\n### Step 5 — Deliver\n\nProvide:\n1. The complete Methods section draft in full prose\n2. A brief coverage note: \"CONSORT items covered: [list]. Items not addressed (need from author): [list]\"\n3. Any assumptions made during writing, clearly labeled\n\n## Reporting Guideline Quick Reference\n\n| Study type | Guideline | Key unique requirements |\n|---|---|---|\n| RCT | CONSORT | Sequence generation, allocation concealment, blinding details, flow diagram |\n| Observational (cohort/case-control/cross-sectional) | STROBE | Source population, exposure ascertainment, bias sources, confounding control |\n| Systematic review / meta-analysis | PRISMA | Eligibility criteria, information sources, search strategy, selection process, data extraction, synthesis methods |\n| Prediction model | TRIPOD | Outcome definition, predictor handling, missing data, model performance metrics |\n| Diagnostic accuracy | STARD | Index test, reference standard, blinding, test interpretation, indeterminate results |\n| Animal study | ARRIVE | Animal characteristics, housing, sample size justification, randomization, blinding, exclusions |\n\n## Hard Rules\n\n- Never fabricate statistical results, effect sizes, sample sizes, p-values, or software outputs\n- Never invent ethics approval IDs, consent forms, or regulatory references\n- If an input detail (e.g., exact randomization method) is not provided, write a placeholder `[AUTHOR TO SPECIFY: randomization method]` rather than inventing a default\n- Do not introduce new outcomes in the Methods that were not mentioned by the user\n\n## References\n\n→ IMRAD structure: [references/imrad_structure.md](references/imrad_structure.md)\n→ Reporting guidelines detail: [references/reporting_guidelines.md](references/reporting_guidelines.md)\n→ Writing principles: [references/writing_principles.md](references/writing_principles.md)\n","tagline":"Turns your protocol and analysis workflow into publication-ready Methods text.
