From the source SKILL.md

"What do people actually eat?" is harder to answer than it looks. Every large claim about diet and health depends on answering it for thousands of people over months or years, and every instrument that attempts to do so has known biases. This skill catalogs the common instruments, documents the biases each one introduces, and gives heuristics for choosing the right tool for a question and reading the resulting numbers with appropriate skepticism.
