Got inspired to do this while I was checking a survey instrument just a few hours ago!

[Saee Hatwalne @saee_hatwalne]

Built a Claude Code skill that generates entire SurveyCTO XLSForm survey instruments from English descriptions. Geared more towards dev econ topics specifically. The skill can be used to debug instruments as well. Can be used along with SurveyCTO AI Assistant.

Presently, it covers:
building household rosters, consumption/income/health modules, shocks, GPS capture, audio audits, survey quality warnings within the instrument itself, etc.

Fun fact: Variables have a 32 character limit to be compatible with Stata.

How it works:
•⁠ ⁠Read a research paper a week before the discussion
•⁠ ⁠Discuss key ideas & methods on Google Meet
•⁠ ⁠Build a small, supportive academic community
•⁠ We will share notes after each session

Still learning.
