Reporting and Archiving Findings

Overview

Complete an investigation by confirming reproducibility, presenting clear options, handling the chosen one, and archiving everything needed to reproduce the result.

Core principle: Confirm reproducibility -> separate confirmatory from exploratory -> present options -> execute choice -> archive code + data + environment + pre-registration.

Announce at start: "I'm using the reporting-and-archiving-findings skill to complete this work."

Step 1: Verify Reproducibility

Before reporting anything, confirm the whole analysis reproduces from immutable raw data with the fixed seed in the pinned environment.

# From a clean state: re-run the pipeline end to end
# Confirm headline numbers match what you intend to report
