## Prompt

```text
Help me set up study screening and data extraction for my systematic or scoping review.

**Review question and framework (PICO, PCC, etc.):** [DETAILS]
**Study designs of interest:** [DETAILS]
**Outcomes or concepts to capture:** [LIST]
**Number of reviewers and tool:** [e.g. "2 reviewers in Covidence", "spreadsheet"]
**Risk-of-bias or quality tool planned:** [e.g. RoB 2, ROBINS-I, CASP, JBI, or "suggest"]

Create:
1. Eligibility criteria as a table: Criterion | Include | Exclude | Notes for edge cases. Cover population, exposure or intervention, comparator, outcomes, design, setting, language, date, and publication type.
2. Title/abstract screening rules (lean inclusive) vs. full-text rules (strict), with an ordered list of exclusion reasons for the PRISMA flow diagram.
3. A data extraction form: field name, definition, allowed values or format, and an example. Include study ID, design, sample, setting, intervention details, outcome measures, results data needed for synthesis, funding, and conflicts.
4. A calibration plan: pilot on 5-10 studies, how to measure agreement (e.g. Cohen's kappa), and how disagreements are resolved.

Return all four as ready-to-use tables. Flag fields whose definitions I need to decide as [DECIDE].
