coherence-check

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps qualitative researchers maintain methodological rigor by examining their philosophical assumptions and checking for coherence between their declared stance (ontology, epistemology), language use, and analytical practices. It prevents unintentional methodological drift.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Language Coherence: Analyzes your recent text for vocabulary consistent with your philosophical stance (e.g., "construct" vs. "discover").
• Method-Epistemology Alignment: Verifies if your analytical approach matches your declared epistemology (e.g., systematic procedures for interpretivism).
• AI Relationship Coherence: Ensures your interaction with AI aligns with your stated role (e.g., epistemic partner vs. coding tool).
• Use Case: After a coding session, use this skill to check if your analytical decisions and language reflect your stated constructivist epistemology, ensuring you're not inadvertently slipping into objectivist claims.

Quick Start

Check the coherence of my approach: My declared stance: - Ontology: [from config] - Epistemology: [from config] - Tradition: [from config] Recent analytical decision: [describe] Is this coherent? What tensions exist?
