Replication Designer

by Marazii · data-analytics · python, rust, go, bash, skill

Design a direct, conceptual, or generalization replication of a published study. Walks through identifying the target effect, extracting the original design with enough fidelity to replicate it, deciding what to hold equivalent vs. what to update, calculating sample size for adequate replication power (typically ~2.5x the original under reasonable assumptions), pre-registering the replication on OSF / AsPredicted, multi-site logistics if applicable, and statistically assessing replication suc...

  • Citation Formatter by Marazii

    Format citations and bibliographies in any major academic style — APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago (notes-bibliography and author-date), Harvard, Vancouver, IEEE, AMA, and discipline-specific journal styles. Converts between formats, builds reference lists from raw input, validates DOIs, and generates BibTeX/RIS exports. Trigger when: user asks to "format this citation", "convert to APA", "bibliography in Chicago", "reference list", "BibTeX", "fix my references", "is this APA correct", or runs /cite.

  • Ethics Committee by Marazii

    Act as a research ethics committee — stress-test a protocol the way an IRB / REC / HREC would. Reviews informed consent, risk-benefit balance, vulnerable populations, data privacy, deception, debriefing, payment, dual-use risks, AI/LLM use in research, and equity in recruitment. Produces a committee-style decision letter with required revisions, recommended changes, and approval pathway. Useful before IRB submission, when responding to IRB feedback, when drafting ethics sections of a paper or...

  • Grant Writer by Marazii

    Draft sections of a grant proposal — specific aims / lay summary / significance / innovation / approach / broader impacts / budget justification / data management plan / biosketch — adapted to the funder's format and review criteria. Supports NSF, NIH (R01, R21, R03, F31, F32, K-series), ERC (Starting, Consolidator, Advanced), Wellcome, Horizon Europe, NSF GRFP, foundation grants, and other major schemes. Works from research-brainstorm and methodology-advisor outputs, plus the funder's publis...

  • Manuscript Drafter by Marazii

    Draft long-form manuscript sections — abstract, introduction, related work, methods, results, discussion, limitations, conclusion — from a methodology document and an analysis report. Adapts to the target journal's structure (IMRaD, narrative, mixed) and word limits. Preserves the existing manuscript's voice, enforces hard per-section word budgets, holds to an academic register (no colloquialisms, no conversational openers, no vague quantifiers), and grounds every new idea in the user's bibli...

  • Methodology Advisor by Marazii

    Advise on quantitative and qualitative research methodology — design, sampling, validity, reliability, measurement, ethics, analysis plan, and — mandatory in every methodology output — creative AI / ML / Big Data extensions tailored to the specific research question. The creative-extensions section is not optional: it forces researchers to consider non-conventional, modern methods before settling on a design. Trigger when: user asks about "study design", "research design", "methodology", "wha...

  • Qualitative Coding by Marazii

    Code qualitative data — interview transcripts, open-ended survey responses, field notes, documents, social media — using inductive, deductive, or hybrid approaches. Generates and refines codebooks, applies codes consistently, identifies themes, and supports inter-rater reliability checks. Includes NLP-assisted techniques (sentiment, topic modeling, embeddings) for exploring large corpora. Trigger when: user mentions "thematic analysis", "code transcripts", "qualitative coding", "codebook", "t...

  • Research Brainstorm by Marazii

    Generate, sharpen, and pressure-test research ideas — research questions, hypotheses, study angles, novel contributions, and contrarian framings. Pushes beyond obvious next steps to find what's actually worth studying. Useful at the start of a project or when stuck. Trigger when: user asks to "brainstorm research", "generate research ideas", "research questions", "hypothesis ideas", "what should I study", "I'm stuck on what to research", "thesis topic ideas", "novel angles", "what's interesti...

  • Reviewer Response by Marazii

    Draft a rigorous, polite, point-by-point response to reviewer comments on a journal or conference submission (R1 / R2 / R3 letters), plus the corresponding manuscript revisions. Categorizes each comment as concession / pushback / clarification needed / minor fix, drafts the response and the revision for each, and assembles a cover letter. Composes with `peer-review` (consume comments from a review output) and `manuscript-drafter` (revise prose using the manuscript's voice profile and academic...

Frequently asked questions

How do I install Replication Designer?

Add the install command above to your Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf MCP configuration. Most servers register via npx, a local command, or a Docker image. Refer to the source repository for environment variables and credential requirements.

Which clients support Replication Designer?

Any MCP-compatible client works: Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, and VS Code with the official MCP extension. OpenAI Codex and GitHub Copilot increasingly support MCP via adapter bridges.

Is Replication Designer free?

The server itself is typically open source. Any upstream service (API keys, paid tiers, hosted infrastructure) may have its own pricing. Check the source repository for details.
