conference-abstract-writer

Condenses a full study into conference-submission abstract format. Use when adapting a manuscript abstract or study summary to meet a specific conference's word limit, structured format (Background/Methods/Results/Conclusion), character limits, or required section headings. Also triggers on "adapt my abstract for [conference]", "shorten my abstract to 250 words", "reformat for ASCO/ASGCT/SfN/AACR", "I need a conference abstract", or "cut my abstract to fit the word limit".

Quality

Content

77%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, domain-rich instruction skill with a clear five-step workflow, explicit validation, and a user-escalation feedback loop. The main weakness is progressive disclosure: the bundle's script and audit reference are never referenced from the body, and the annually-changing conference table and repeated hard rules could be consolidated or moved to a reference file.

Suggestions

Add a short section pointing to the existing bundle files — e.g., 'Use scripts/main.py to count words/characters and detect section headings' and 'For verification steps see references/audit-reference.md' — so SKILL.md navigates to them; they are currently orphaned and discoverable only by listing the bundle.

Consolidate the 'never fabricate' rule, currently stated in four places (Out-of-scope, Compression Rules item 5, Final Check, Hard Rules), into one Hard Rules entry that the other sections reference by name.

Add a compact worked example — an original 400-word abstract adapted to a 250-word structured ASCO/ASGCT format with its word count note — to make the compression rules and output format concrete.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense with domain knowledge Claude doesn't reliably have (per-conference limits, the 15/25/40/20 word-proportion targets, abbreviation norms), but the 'never fabricate' rule is repeated in four places (Out-of-scope, Compression Rules, Final Check, Hard Rules) and the line-31 blockquote self-description ('Conference Abstract Adaptor reformats and condenses...') is filler — minor instances that could be trimmed, fitting anchor 4 rather than the every-token-earns-its-place anchor 5.

4 / 5

Actionability

Guidance is concrete and executable for an instruction-only skill: numeric section proportions, an ordered cut priority (preserve/compress/cut-first/never-cut), an exact output format ('Word count: X / [limit]'), and a copy-paste conflict-resolution message. It stops short of anchor 5 because there is no worked before/after example covering a common case (e.g., a full abstract adapted to a 250-word structured one).

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

The five-step sequence (Assess → Adapt → Compress → Count & Verify → Final Check) has explicit validation checkpoints (word/character count verification, a final checklist) and a genuine feedback loop: if required elements still exceed the limit after aggressive cutting, it escalates to the user with a specific message instead of silently cutting. This matches the anchor-5 pattern; the destructive/batch cap does not apply.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body itself is well-sectioned, but both bundle files are completely un-signaled: scripts/main.py and references/audit-reference.md exist yet are never mentioned or linked from SKILL.md, leaving them orphaned with no navigation. Per the guideline to score against the actual bundle structure, absent references are more than a 'minor organization gap' (anchor 4), fitting 'references present but not clearly signaled' (anchor 3).

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

An exemplary description: explicit what-and-when structure, verbatim natural trigger phrases with synonyms, and a well-delineated niche. The only minor weakness is that the capability list is a family of facets of one adaptation task rather than multiple distinct actions.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description enumerates several concrete capabilities — 'meet a specific conference's word limit, structured format (Background/Methods/Results/Conclusion), character limits, or required section headings' — but all are facets of a single condense/adapt task rather than the multiple distinct actions of the anchor-5 example, so it fits 'several specific actions; minor gaps' better than comprehensive coverage.

4 / 5

Completeness

It clearly states what the skill does ('Condenses a full study into conference-submission abstract format') and explicitly when to use it with concrete trigger phrases, matching the anchor-5 pattern exactly; the 'when' clause is fully explicit, not merely present.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It quotes five natural user phrasings verbatim ('adapt my abstract for [conference]', 'shorten my abstract to 250 words', 'reformat for ASCO/ASGCT/SfN/AACR', 'I need a conference abstract', 'cut my abstract to fit the word limit') with synonym coverage (adapt/shorten/reformat/cut) and named conferences; file extensions don't apply to this domain.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

A clear niche (conference-submission abstract adaptation for named medical/scientific societies like ASCO/ASGCT/SfN/AACR) with distinct triggers around word/character limits; minimal overlap risk with generic writing or document skills.
