Amazing PsyCoder: skill pack for Hermes Agent

Agent skills for psychology experiment programming and reproducible data analysis

What Amazing PsyCoder does

Amazing PsyCoder consists of one entry skill and six specialist skills and follows the agentskills.io open standard. For experiment programming, psy-exp-designer turns an experiment idea into a confirmed specification of screens, keys, conditions, order and saved data. psy-exp-coder generates platform code for PsychoPy, jsPsych or Psychtoolbox while catching issues such as blocking waits and saving data only at the end, and psy-exp-reviewer checks code against the design. A data-analysis part of the pack plans statistical workflows.

The reviewer will not say an experiment is ready to collect data without a recorded trial run on the actual computer. The README lists 38 experiment-design references and says these are guidance, not 38 times 3 generators verified on all three platforms. The install script checks all seven skills first and restores the original files if it fails. For Hermes, ./install.sh hermes installs to ~/.hermes/skills and the skill is invoked with /amazing-psycoder. The README is in Chinese, with English, Japanese, German, French and Traditional Chinese versions.
