Turns a data dictionary +\n  research question into a citation-backed table of exposure/outcome/covariate definitions, cutoffs, and\n  DB variable mappings. Prevents ad-hoc phenotype definitions that invite reviewer rejection. Bridges\n  /search-lit output into /write-protocol Methods.\ntriggers: variable definition, phenotype definition, operationalization, cutoff justification, inclusion criteria, case definition, grouping criteria, literature-grounded definition, canonical definition, 변수 정의, 정의 근거\ntools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob\nmodel: inherit\n---\n\n# Define-Variables Skill\n\n## Purpose\n\nEvery observational study operationalizes abstract constructs (MASLD, CKD, emphysema, obesity, incidentaloma) into concrete rules against the available data dictionary. When that operationalization is invented ad-hoc from the dictionary alone, reviewers reject on construct validity regardless of downstream statistics.\n\nThis skill forces a **literature-first** pass: each variable is mapped to a canonical guideline/consensus definition, cross-checked against prior operationalizations in comparable cohorts, then mapped to available DB variables. Ad-hoc deviations are flagged explicitly and justified, not hidden.\n\nUse it when:\n- a study question is known and variables are being selected\n- inclusion/exclusion criteria or phenotype definitions need citation backing\n- a data dictionary has ambiguous or derived variables (eGFR formula, BMI class, liver steatosis criteria, etc.)\n- a reviewer asked \"why this cutoff?\"\n- a retrospective audit reveals drifted definitions across projects in the same cohort\n\nCall after `/design-study`, before `/write-protocol`.\n\n## Communication Rules\n\n- Communicate in the user's preferred language.\n- All variable names, guideline names, cutoffs in English.\n- Produce one artifact: `variable_operationalization.md` in the project root (or path the user specifies).\n\n## Inputs\n\n1. **Research question** (one sentence)\n2. **Candidate variables** — exposure, outcome, key covariates, eligibility filters\n3. **Data dictionary path** (xlsx / csv / markdown) OR explicit list of available DB columns\n4. **Cohort type** (e.g., health-screening, NHANES-like, claims, registry) — informs which prior-art cohort to compare against\n\nMissing inputs → ask once, then proceed.\n\n## 4-Tier Pipeline (DB codebook + token-efficient literature)\n\n### Tier 0 — DB codebook lookup (mandatory for DB-backed observational studies)\n\n**Trigger**: project has a `project.yaml::db.dictionary_path` field pointing to a machine-readable codebook (xlsx/csv/markdown), OR user supplied a dictionary path in inputs. If neither, skip to Tier 1.\n\nFor every candidate DB variable — **before** touching literature — open the dictionary and record, verbatim, the sheet name, row number, and code→meaning mapping. This prevents the single most common observational-study error: assuming a column code (`status == 0`, `grade == 4`) means what it intuitively reads like, when the codebook says otherwise.\n\nConcrete procedure per variable:\n\n1. Locate the variable in the dictionary by exact column name.\n2. Copy verbatim: the sheet title, row number, and full code→meaning mapping (or unit/range statement for continuous vars).\n3. Paste into the `Dict. sheet & row` + `Dict. verbatim` columns of the operationalization table.\n4. If the variable is not found, OR the codebook is silent on a specific code value, file a question to the DB owner / data steward. Do NOT infer from cross-tabs, do NOT guess, do NOT proceed with that variable until a verbatim answer exists.\n\nEmpirical checks (value distributions, cross-tabs with related columns) are useful for sanity testing **after** the verbatim codebook meaning is recorded — never as a substitute for it.\n\nProject-level binding (recommended): commit a `DICTIONARY_FIRST_POLICY.md` at the project root (or shared-config path) capturing the canonical dictionary path + escalation contact. Cross-project rule template: `~/.claude/rules/dictionary-first.md`.\n\n**Exit gate**: `check_dictionary_citations.py` (or equivalent) PASS on the operationalization table before running Tier 1.\n\n### Tier 1 — Canonical index lookup (no API calls)\n\nCheck `references/common_definitions.md` (shipped with skill) for the variable. Covers high-frequency constructs:\n\n- Liver: MASLD (AASLD 2023), MetALD (AASLD 2023), MAFLD (2020), NAFLD (legacy), ALD, viral hepatitis (AASLD 2022/2024 HBV, AASLD-IDSA HCV)\n- Metabolic: T2DM (ADA 2024), prediabetes (ADA 2024), metabolic syndrome (IDF 2009 / NCEP ATP III / K-NCEP), obesity/BMI (WHO Asian 2004 + WHO global), HTN (ACC/AHA 2017 + JNC-8), dyslipidemia (NCEP ATP III, 2023 AHA/ACC)\n- Renal: CKD (KDIGO 2024), eGFR formulas (CKD-EPI 2021 race-free, MDRD legacy), incidental renal mass (ACR 2018 white paper, Bosniak 2019)\n- Pulmonary: COPD (GOLD 2024), emphysema imaging (Fleischner 2015)\n- CV: CAC scoring (Agatston 1990, MESA percentiles), CAD risk (2018 ACC/AHA cholesterol, PREVENT 2023)\n- Cancer: gastric cancer H. pylori (Maastricht VI 2022), thyroid nodule (ACR TI-RADS 2017), gallbladder polyp (European 2022 joint guideline)\n- Imaging incidentalomas: adrenal (ACR 2023), pancreas (ACR 2017), renal (ACR 2018), thyroid (ACR 2017)\n\nIf the variable hits Tier 1, record: guideline, year, canonical cutoff, BibTeX key. Done — no `/search-lit` call.\n\n### Tier 2 — Targeted `/search-lit` (focused queries only)\n\nFor variables NOT in Tier 1, OR when subgroup justification is needed (Asian-specific cutoff, pediatric, young-adult, pregnancy, etc.), call `/search-lit` with **one query per variable** — not a general sweep. Query pattern:\n\n```\n\"{construct} definition {cohort type} {subgroup qualifier}\"\ne.g., \"obstructive sleep apnea prevalence Korean health screening cohort\"\n```\n\nCap: 5 queries per session. Stop early if first 1-2 papers converge on the same definition.\n\n### Tier 3 — Verification\n\nBefore finalizing, run `/verify-refs` on the accumulated BibTeX to confirm every citation exists in PubMed/CrossRef. Ad-hoc choices (no canonical source found) must be flagged `Ad-hoc: yes` and justified with 1-2 sentences — never hidden.\n\n## Output Template\n\nWrite to `{project_root}/variable_operationalization.md` using `templates/variable_operationalization.md`. Required structure:\n\n1. **Header**: research question, cohort type, date, author\n2. **Operationalization table** — one row per variable:\n\n   | Variable | Role | Dict. sheet & row | Dict. verbatim | Canonical source | Definition | Cutoff | DB vars | Implementation | Ad-hoc? |\n\n   - `Role`: exposure / outcome / covariate / eligibility\n   - `Dict. sheet & row`: e.g. `5-1.복부초음파 r12` — mandatory if a DB dictionary exists\n   - `Dict. verbatim`: full code→meaning string copied from the dictionary — mandatory same condition\n   - `Canonical source`: BibTeX key (e.g., `@rinella2023_aasld_masld`)\n   - `Definition`: one line, verbatim from guideline where possible\n   - `Cutoff`: numeric + units\n   - `DB vars`: exact dictionary column names used\n   - `Implementation`: SQL/pandas-style pseudocode (e.g., `bmi>=25 & (b_tg>=150 | b_hdl<40)`)\n   - `Ad-hoc?`: yes/no. If yes, justification below table\n\n3. **Ad-hoc justifications** — for each yes row\n4. **Mapping gaps** — variables in the protocol with no DB equivalent; list proxy / omit / request decisions\n5. **References** — BibTeX block\n\n## Non-Goals\n\n- Statistical analysis → `/analyze-stats`\n- Manuscript drafting → `/write-paper`\n- Data cleaning / missingness → `/clean-data`\n- Sample size → `/calc-sample-size`\n\n## Pipeline Position\n\n```\nintake-project → design-study → search-lit → define-variables → write-protocol → analyze-stats → write-paper\n                                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\n```\n\n`/orchestrate` should insert this skill between `/search-lit` and `/write-protocol` for any observational cohort or registry study.\n\n## Anti-Hallucination\n\nEvery variable definition, cutoff, and era anchor must be grounded in a verified source — a clinical guideline, a peer-reviewed paper with DOI, or an established registry data dictionary. Never invent a phenotype threshold from the model's prior; if the source is unknown, mark the row `Ad-hoc: yes` and require user confirmation before it propagates into `/write-protocol` or `/analyze-stats`. When citing papers to justify a cutoff, verify the citation via `/search-lit` or `/verify-refs` — do not carry references from memory alone. The output table must carry explicit `source`, `year`, and `guideline_version` columns so downstream skills can re-verify.\n\n## Failure Modes to Avoid\n\n0. **Ad-hoc DB code interpretation** (the single most costly observational-study error). Interpreting a column value (`status == 0`, `grade == 4`) by its surface reading without consulting the codebook. Tier 0 exists specifically to prevent this. Distinguish from Failure #1: Tier 0 says \"once you've picked the DB column, quote the codebook verbatim before using its values.\" Failure #1 says \"don't pick DB columns before picking definitions from literature.\" Both rules co-exist.\n1. **Dictionary-first framing** — starting from what columns exist, then picking a definition that matches. Always flip: definition first, then map.\n2. **Cutoff drift** — using a different cutoff than the cited guideline without justification (e.g., BMI≥23 cited as WHO Asian while text says ≥25).\n3. **Mixing eras** — 2020 MAFLD criteria with 2023 MASLD criteria in the same analysis. Pick one and note why.\n4. **Silent ad-hoc** — introducing a novel cutoff without the `Ad-hoc: yes` flag.\n5. **Sweep-style /search-lit** — running a generic lit search instead of one focused query per gap variable. Wastes tokens and buries the signal.\n6. **Dose/duration structural-missingness** — operationalizing a dose/duration covariate (pack-years, cessation-years, alcohol grams/week) anchored to a categorical exposure (smoking status, alcohol use) without specifying what the *reference level* (never-smoker, never-drinker) does to the dose. A never-smoker's pack-years is a structural zero, not a missing value; conflating the two collapses the analytic sample under complete-case modeling and lets MICE fabricate a non-zero dose for the unexposed. Operationalize it explicitly — add a row with `Role = covariate` and `Implementation = \"IF status == 'never' THEN dose = 0 ELSE measured_value\"` — and adjust on the categorical **status** variable, reserving the continuous **dose** for an exposed-only secondary analysis. `/clean-data` (categorical-implied-zero flag) and `/analyze-stats` (\"Covariate Pitfalls\") enforce this downstream.\n\n## Global-rule references\n\nSome passages in this skill cite a path of the form `~/.claude/rules/<name>.md`. Those are the\nmaintainer's personal global rules, kept outside this repository. They are **not shipped with\nthis skill** and will not exist on your machine; they appear only as provenance for where a\nconvention came from. If one of them looks like it is standing in for an instruction you actually\nneed, that is a bug — please open an issue, because the instruction belongs here.\n","tagline":"Literature-grounded variable operationalization for observational research.
