Quality

Content

73%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, highly actionable instruction-only skill with an explicit workflow, validation checkpoints, feedback loops, and failure recovery. Its weaknesses are structural redundancy across parallel sections and the absence of worked prose examples.

Suggestions

Consolidate the Dependencies, Tools and instruments, and References sections into a single resource list to remove the triple-duplicated file enumeration.

Merge the Actions table with the canonical workflow path (or drop one), since they describe the same steps in two formats.

Add one short worked example per mode, e.g. a before/after sentence pair with its verb/hedge fix, or a sample Claim-Evidence Map row, to make the output formats concrete.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is dense with operational guidance and explains nothing Claude already knows, but it could be tightened: Dependencies, Tools and instruments, and References each re-list the same resource files, and the Actions table largely restates the canonical workflow path. Not 4 because the redundancy is more than minor; not 2 because nearly all content is instruction rather than padding.

3 / 5

Actionability

Concrete, measurable guardrails ("Em dashes <= 1 per paragraph; semicolons <= 2 per 1000 words; sentence-case headers"), specified per-mode output formats, and a defined Claim-Evidence Map table make the guidance mostly executable. Not 5 because there are no worked examples (e.g., a before/after sentence pair or a sample PASS/FAIL report) to anchor the patterns.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear five-scene sequence (PREPARE, ACQUIRE, ACT, VERIFY, FINALIZE) with explicit validation steps (AUDIT, reverse outlining, read-aloud test) and feedback loops ("every fix loops back through the anti-AI checklist before emit"; a failure-to-recovery table with re-run audit). Matches the anchor for clear sequence with explicit validation and error-recovery loops.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

References are one level deep and listed in a dedicated References section with per-file load conditions (e.g. "load when drafting... an abstract"), with detail appropriately deferred to resource files. Not 5 because resource paths are named redundantly across three separate sections and no bundle files accompany SKILL.md to verify the referenced paths resolve.

Description

75%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.

A concise, third-person description with a clear what and an explicit when clause and no fluff or over-claims. Its main limitation is trigger coverage that undersells the skill's actual scope (abstracts, prose polishing, anti-AI audits are only partially represented).

Suggestions

Add natural trigger terms that match the skill's full scope, e.g. "abstracts", "academic writing", "polishing drafts", or "prose sounds AI-generated".

Broaden the when clause to cover the review/audit mode explicitly (e.g. "compliance or style audits of existing academic text"), since "academic style audits" alone is slightly jargon-like.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

"Draft and revise academic prose against a rubric, evidence, and citation requirements" plus "academic style audits" names several concrete actions with modifiers. It is not 5 because coverage omits capabilities the skill actually handles (abstracts, polishing, AI-sounding prose rewrites), and not 3 because it lists more than 1-2 generic actions.

4 / 5

Completeness

It answers both what ("Draft and revise academic prose against a rubric, evidence, and citation requirements") and when ("Use for essays, reports, literature reviews, or academic style audits") explicitly. It is not 5 because the when clause is narrower than the skill's scope, omitting triggers like abstracts or de-AI-ifying prose.

4 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

"essays, reports, literature reviews, or academic style audits" includes natural phrases users would say. It is not 5 because common variations such as "abstract", "paper", "thesis", or "academic writing" itself are missing.

4 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

"academic prose" bound to "rubric, evidence, and citation requirements" carves a mostly distinct niche with minor overlap risk from adjacent scholarly/translation skills. It is not 5 because "reports" and "audits" are generic enough to overlap with general writing and editing skills.
