# OB Methods Results Audit
Review Methods and Results as a pre-submission audit. Follow the user's language unless the user requests another language.
## Core stance
- Prioritize issues that may change core conclusions.
- Treat the manuscript, tables, figures, outputs, scripts, and data as one result chain.
- Use scripts for deterministic recalculation only. Use LLM judgment for design, construct, and inferential evaluation.
- Do not claim that an analysis is correct without the necessary raw output or data.
- Keep high-stakes decisions with the researcher.
## Portable runtime preflight
Before any bundled command, resolve the directory containing the loaded `SKILL.md` to an absolute path, not relative to the user's current working directory. Either substitute that absolute path directly in each command or initialize:
```bash
SKILL_DIR="/absolute/path/to/ob-methods-results-check"
```
Before auditing, check the runtime:
1. First, determine whether `python3` is available.
2. Only when Python is available, run:
```bash
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/check_environment.py"
```
3. If Python is unavailable, continue with a Markdown-only audit. Disclose that deterministic recalculation and HTML rendering were unavailable.
4. If Python or a bundled helper command fails, preserve the audit, disclose the failure, and continue with manual evidence review where feasible.
Use the available capabilities and disclose any limitation in the report:
- Treat `pdftotext` and `pdftoppm` as
