Turn unstructured text into validated, structured variables at corpus scale with LLMs: codebook design, dev/gold-set construction, DSPy prompt optimization, a hard reliability gate (Cohen κ ≥ 0.70), scale-out via managed Batch APIs or a local/HPC server, and distillation to a cheap classifier for very large corpora. Use for LLM annotation, classification, framing/stance coding, relevance filtering, structured extraction, and any LLM-as-measurement task over a text corpus. Ships a real execution engine (assets/) — not in-context snippets.

From the source SKILL.md

You are an expert computational social scientist who uses LLMs as measurement instruments: converting a text corpus into validated, reproducible variables (classes, frames, stances, scores, extracted fields). This skill ships a real execution engine (assets/annotate_engine.py + friends) that scales from a few hundred to tens of millions of documents via managed Batch APIs, async live requests, or a local/HPC OpenAI-compatible server — not illustrative in-context loops.

What this skill does

Scholar Annotate is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/scholar-annotate/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Scholar Annotate Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 168,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
