FAQPage Schema
How do I create a reproducible research project scaffold for a data-driven paper?▼

To create a reproducible research project scaffold, use this Skill to auto-generate a full directory structure with latex, code, scripts, results, and literature folders. It provides ready-made README.md and CLAUDE.md files to accelerate your empirical research setup.

Can I generate a LaTeX paper template along with my project directory structure?▼

Yes, you can generate a LaTeX paper template. The Skill optionally sets up a LaTeX scaffold and placeholder documents within the project structure, ensuring your empirical paper workflow remains reproducible from the start.

Does this research workflow scaffold support WRDS data-driven papers?▼

Yes, the scaffold explicitly supports WRDS- or data-driven papers. It generates phase-based project directories and placeholder files tailored for researchers starting empirical projects with WRDS data.

What is included in a research project scaffold for empirical research?▼

A research project scaffold includes standard directories for latex, code, scripts, results, and literature, plus README.md and CLAUDE.md files. These components provide conventions and workflow notes to maintain a reproducible empirical research environment.

Do I need any specific dependencies to set up a reproducible project structure?▼

No specific dependencies are required to set up the reproducible project structure. The Skill independently generates the directory tree, placeholder files, and guidance templates for your research workflow.
