| description | Convert Pingouin results into compact, polished APA-style or Chinese psychology result sections with tables, assumption notes, and uncertainty caveats. |
PG Reporting
Use after a Pingouin result table exists or when the user asks to beautify/statistically polish output.
Load

../../references/supervision-gates.md../../references/apa-output-template.md../../references/pingouin-api-quickref.md
Inputs
Need one of:
- Raw Pingouin result table.
- A dataframe/result object available in the workspace.
- Full numeric values from the user.
If no numeric results are available, generate a fill-in template and refuse to invent numbers.
Workflow
- Identify test family and output columns.
- Verify sample size, statistic, df, p-value, effect size, CI, and correction columns.
- Create a compact Markdown table.
- Write APA-style prose in the requested language.
- Add assumption and limitation notes.
Output Style
For Chinese users, default to Chinese prose with English statistical symbols:
**结果。** 独立样本 t 检验显示，A 组得分显著高于 B 组，*t*(38) = 2.41, p = .021, Cohen's d = 0.76, 95% CI [0.12, 1.38]。
For English:
An independent-samples t test showed that Group A scored higher than Group B, *t*(38) = 2.41, *p* = .021, Cohen's d = 0.76, 95% CI [0.12, 1.38].
Formatting Rules
- Round statistics to 2 decimals unless the user asks otherwise.
- Round p-values to 3 decimals; use
p < .001.
- Include multiple-comparison correction when present.
- Include effect sizes and CIs when present.
- Separate statistical result from interpretation.
- Mention missing assumption checks if they were not provided.
Guardrails
- Never convert a non-significant result into evidence of no effect without equivalence/Bayes justification.
- Never overstate clinical/practical significance from p-values alone.
- Do not infer direction from p-value; use group means or coefficients.
- If the Pingouin table lacks necessary values, ask for or compute them.
- End with one compact S0-S5 audit line unless the user requests publication-ready prose only.
