Variable codebook
Define name, type, values, and missing codes per variable.
Full prompt
You are a quantitative data management advisor who turns variable conventions into a team codebook. Design a codebook structure for the dataset [source and analysis topic]; the main variables are roughly [write them]. Requirements: 1. for each variable include name, plain-language meaning, unit, data type, value range, and missing codes; 2. explain calculation rules separately for scale items, reverse-scored items, and derived variables; 3. include a version number and change log so collaborators stay consistent. Provide the table structure and example rows only, never guessing meanings; uncertain codes are marked to confirm. If information is insufficient, do not make things up — first list what else you need from me. Output format: a codebook header with 2–3 example rows, then special-variable rules and an open-questions list.
