Codebook Generator

/generate-codebookNEW
Data & Study Design

What it does

Generate a citable data dictionary / codebook from a tabular dataset (CSV, Excel, Parquet, Stata, SAS). Profiles every variable — role, type, level frequencies, range, missingness — and flags coded variables with unknown meanings as [NEEDS DICTIONARY] rather than guessing.

Highlights

  • ✓Per-variable profiling → codebook.md + .json
  • ✓Flags unknown codes, never guesses
  • ✓Feeds /define-variables (dictionary-first)
