# CHECK: Is method.tau appropriate?
metabin(..., method.tau = "REML") # Good for most cases
# CHECK: Is hakn = TRUE for small number of studies?
metabin(..., hakn = TRUE) # Knapp-Hartung adjustment
# CHECK: Are prediction intervals included?
metabin(..., prediction = TRUE)
# CHECK: Is random effects justified?
# Look for heterogeneity assessment before model choice
# CHECK: Is consistency tested?
netsplit(nma_result) # Should be present
# CHECK: Is network visualized?
netgraph(nma_result) # Should be present
# CHECK: Are multi-arm correlations handled?
# Multi-arm studies need careful handling
# CHECK: Is ESS assessed?
check_weights(weights_obj) # Must be present
# CHECK: Are weights reasonable?
# ESS > 50% of original sample
# CHECK: Is bootstrap used for inference?

Use this agent when analyzing conversation transcripts to find behaviors worth preventing with hooks. Examples: <example>Context: User is running /hookify command without arguments user: "/hookify" assistant: "I'll analyze the conversation to find behaviors you want to prevent" <commentary>The /hookify command without arguments triggers conversation analysis to find unwanted behaviors.</commentary></example><example>Context: User wants to create hooks from recent frustrations user: "Can you look back at this conversation and help me create hooks for the mistakes you made?" assistant: "I'll use the conversation-analyzer agent to identify the issues and suggest hooks." <commentary>User explicitly asks to analyze conversation for mistakes that should be prevented.</commentary></example>
