This repository serves a demo for the conflict in Africa project with Yujing Huang, only a slice of data (Kenya) is displayed. Full version of code and data is not disclosed here. # conflict_africa_demo — AI-Integrated Research Workflow Demo A standalone demonstration of an AI-integrated empirical research workflow, built around a public ACLED conflict-event slice for Kenya, 2010-2020. The repo shows: 1. **Reproducible R pipelines** with explicit verification steps 2. **AI workflow infrastructure** — custom rules, slash commands, and persistent memory used to collaborate with Claude Code 3. **Engineering discipline** in data cleaning, aggregation, and validation > No research findings are reproduced; the analysis stops at descriptive material. ## Quick tour | What you're looking for | Where to find it | |---|---| | How I write reproducible R | `code/` — numbered pipeline `d_01`-`d_04` | | How I use AI in my workflow | `docs/ai-workflow.md` | | Custom Claude Code rules | `.claude/rules/` | | Custom slash commands | `.claude/skills/` | | Persistent memory pattern | `.claude/memory/MEMORY.md` | | Pipeline overview | `docs/architecture.md` | | End-to-end runbook | `CLAUDE.md` | ## What the pipeline does ``` d_01_acled_clean.R Clean and deduplicate the raw ACLED Kenya CSV → data/Conflict/ACLED/acled_kenya_clean.rds d_02_acled_aggregate.R Build a year x admin1 x event_type panel of event counts and total fatalities → data/Conflict/ACLED/acled_kenya_panel.rds d_03_acled_check.R 11 verification checks (identity, key uniqueness, count reconciliation, types, year coverage) → exit 0 = pass d_04_descriptive_figure.R → output/figure_1_kenya_acled_events.png ``` ## Run it Requirements: R ≥ 4.2, packages: `here`, `readr`, `dplyr`, `tidyr`, `ggplot2`. ```bash git clone github.com cd conflict_africa_demo Rscript code/d_01_acled_clean.R Rscript code/d_02_acled_aggregate.R Rscript code/d_03_acled_check.R # → "11 PASS, 0 FAIL" Rscript code/d_04_descriptive_figure.R # → output/figure_1_kenya_acled_events.png ``` All paths are relative to the repo root.
