ingridleiria Skill Outreach EmailWrites one-to-one business outreach that earns a reply, by putting verified research before the writing and the reader's situation before the sender's offer. Produces a five-line research note in which every fact is either verified in this session or labelled as an assumption, a message shaped to its type, an ask small enough to say yes to, and where the situation genuinely has two goals a second labelled variant. The standard it enforces is that no claim about the reader or their organisation goes out unverified, and that the sender must be able to state honestly why this message is relevant now. Use this skill for a cold email, a warm introduction, a follow-up after a call, a re-engagement note after silence, an executive-to-executive message, or a message on a professional network; when someone says reach out to, draft an email to, follow up with, personalise this, or pastes a prospect profile. Trigger for any one-to-one message to an external person, however short.
-
ingridleiria Skill Market ResearchProduces sized, sourced, decision-ready market and competitive analysis rather than a collection of facts. Builds every market size twice, top-down and bottom-up, reconciles the two, separates the total market from the serviceable slice from what could realistically be won, maps competitors on evidence with pricing and dated strategic moves, and enforces the standard that every number carries a source and a year in the same line and that nothing is fabricated. Use this skill whenever someone asks to research a market, size a market, work out the total addressable market, analyse competitors, evaluate a new segment or geography, assess an acquisition or partnership target's market, prepare the market section of a board deck or fundraising material, or says things like "what does the market look like", "who else does this", "is this worth entering", "how big could this be", or "look into this space". Trigger for any request to gather external business information that will feed a decision, even when the ask is
-
ingridleiria Skill Journal TargetingChooses where a manuscript goes and rebuilds it for that venue, producing an evidence sheet per candidate journal, a ranked submission ladder with a total expected timeline, a predatory-venue screen, and the specific reframing the chosen target requires. Enforces the rule that fit is demonstrated by recent articles the journal actually published, never by reputation, and that every indexing and metric claim carries its source and the date it was checked. Use this skill when someone asks where to submit, which journal fits, whether a journal is indexed or legitimate, what a journal's quartile or impact factor is, how long a decision takes, how to tailor a paper to a target, or what to do after a rejection. Trigger also on vague requests such as "is this good enough for a decent journal", "my supervisor said aim higher", "we got desk rejected, now what", or "somebody emailed me about a special issue".
-
ingridleiria Skill Research AssistantExecutes research work to somebody else's brief so the person who set it can use the output without redoing it. Confirms the brief in writing before any work starts, keeps a work log written as the work happens rather than reconstructed, never produces a number or a citation that was not seen in a source, separates what the source says from what was calculated from what was assumed, reports the dead ends alongside the findings, and escalates on a fixed rule rather than on mood. Use this skill when a supervisor, principal investigator or coauthor has assigned a task and it has to be done and reported back, when someone asks for help executing rather than designing research, when a piece of work needs handing over to a colleague, or when someone says they are acting as an assistant on a project. Trigger also on vague requests such as "can you just pull this together", "my supervisor asked for a first cut", "I need this checked before I send it on", or "help me do the legwork".
-
ingridleiria Skill External InsightsGathers, verifies, and synthesises outside-in intelligence on a company, person, industry, or trend, and delivers a sourced insight brief rather than a pile of links. Enforces the standard that every fact carries a named source and a date in the same line, that load-bearing numbers are two-sourced or visibly marked as single-sourced, and that what a company says about itself, what a third party reports, and what has been inferred never blur into one another. Use this skill whenever someone asks to research a company, prepare for a meeting with an external party, understand what is happening in an industry, monitor a competitor or a client, find signals before a pitch, build background for a leader before a call, or says "what is going on with them", "brief me on", "find out what they are doing", "what are people saying about", or "have a look at this company before Thursday". Trigger for any request to bring outside information into an internal decision, and always before outreach, pitches, and partner meetin

ingridleiria Skill Stata Do File CraftWrites Stata do-files that a stranger can run end to end from raw data on a different machine and get the same numbers. Enforces a master do-file calling numbered scripts, one machine-specific line and relative paths everywhere else, a version statement, timestamped logging of every run, locals inside files and globals only for paths, loops over specifications instead of copy-paste, defensive assert and isid checks, capture used only where it cannot hide an error, seeds for anything random, and an absolute ban on editing data interactively. Use this skill when someone asks for help writing or fixing a do-file, says their code will not run on a coauthor's machine, cannot reproduce a number they produced last month, has a single enormous script that has become unmanageable, is preparing code for a journal data editor, or asks how to make a Stata project reproducible. Trigger also on vaguer requests such as "clean up my Stata code", "why did my results change", or "how do I organise this".
-
ingridleiria Skill Thesis Defense PrepRehearses the viva. Reads the thesis the way a committee reads it, marks the three weakest points in every chapter, builds a question bank of forty to sixty questions in the words examiners actually use, and drills each answer into three parts under sixty seconds with the exhibit to point to, then sizes the defence talk and prepares the room, the concessions and the revision list. Enforces the rule that every answer leads with the direct answer or the concession rather than the defence, and that no answer is rehearsed without knowing where the evidence for it sits. Use this skill when someone mentions a defence, a viva, a proposal hearing, a qualifying exam or a committee meeting, asks what their committee will ask, asks how to answer a particular question, or wants to practise. Trigger also on vague requests such as "my viva is in three weeks", "I am terrified of one of my examiners", "what if they ask about the instrument", or "how long should my answers be".

ingridleiria Skill Response To ReviewersBuilds the point-by-point response letter and the revision it documents, deciding for every referee comment whether to comply, partially comply with a justified alternative, or decline with evidence, and producing a comment ledger in which nothing is unanswered and every claimed change points to a location an editor can check. Enforces the rule that no change is claimed that was not made, that every decline carries evidence rather than an argument, and that the editor's own priorities override the referees' where they conflict. Use this skill when referee reports arrive and someone asks to answer the reviewers, write the response letter, handle an R and R, decide whether to revise or take the paper elsewhere, or draft an appeal. Trigger also on vague requests such as "we got a major revision", "reviewer 2 wants something impossible", "how do I say no to a referee", or "the editor sent this back".

ingridleiria Skill Identification DefenseAttacks an empirical design the way a demanding referee or committee member will, grades every answer as strong, adequate, weak or missing, and then builds the argument, the diagnostic exhibit or the honest concession that answers each attack. Covers difference-in-differences and event studies, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, matching and selection on observables, synthetic control, and the cross-cutting questions about clustering, attrition, measurement and power that apply to every design. Produces a defense table mapping each objection to its response and the exhibit that carries it, a verdict on whether the design survives at the venue targeted, and short spoken answers for a seminar or viva. Use this skill when someone asks whether their design is identified, asks to defend a difference-in-differences or an instrument, wonders what a committee will ask about identification, is preparing for a defense, seminar or submission, or is choosing between designs. Trigger also on vague requests
