vera-data-continuous-generating

name	vera-data-continuous-generating
description	Server-side extension that completes the full analysis pipeline for continuous outcome variables after vera-data-continuous-reviewing has run. Adds remaining hypothesis tests (ANOVA, post-hoc, nonparametric), subgroup analysis with interaction tests and forest plots, full modeling (OLS with diagnostics, quantile regression, tree-based exploratory), and model comparison. Generates manuscript-ready methods.md and results.md with formatted tables, publication-quality figures, and references.bib. Applies output variation and code style variation for natural, non-repetitive output. Triggered after vera-data-continuous-reviewing completes and its PART 0–2 artifacts are present (see ../../CROSS-SKILL-INTERFACE.md). If invoked directly without those artifacts, halts and prompts the user to run testing first or supply equivalent PART 0–2 code.

Continuous Outcome — Full Analysis & Manuscript Generation

Open-source skill. Read reference/specs/output-variation-protocol.md before every generation — apply all variation layers.

Workflow

Continues from where vera-data-continuous-reviewing stopped (PART 0-2 done).

Step	Responsibility	Executor	Document	Input	Output
Additional tests	Run Additional Tests	Main Agent	workflow/step04-run-additional-tests.md	Prior step output	PART 3 code + prose
Subgroup	Analyze Subgroups	Main Agent	workflow/step05-analyze-subgroups.md	Prior step output	PART 4 code + prose
Modeling	Fit Models	Main Agent	workflow/step06-fit-models.md	Prior step output	PART 5 code + prose
Comparison	Compare Models	Main Agent	workflow/step07-compare-models.md	Prior step output	PART 6 code + prose
Manuscript	Generate Manuscript	Main Agent	workflow/step08-generate-manuscript.md	Prior step output	methods.md + results.md

Additional Inputs

Reporting Standards

Same as vera-data-continuous-reviewing, plus:

• Coefficients: unstandardized B with SE always; add β when predictors on different scales
• R²: "accounted for X% of variance" — never "explained" unless true experiment
• Quantile regression: report specific quantile(s) and SE method (bootstrap preferred)
• Tree-based with small N: frame as "exploratory"; never claim predictive validity
• Transformations: report on both transformed and original scales
