AB Nature-Style Academic Writer
Transform academic text into publication-quality prose matching Nature journal standards. Covers grammar correction, academic tone elevation, clarity improvement, and style consistency. Use when refining manuscripts, grant proposals, abstracts, or any formal academic writing that needs to meet top-tier journal standards.
As a process B 72/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: when it triggers, consistency, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec
- warning
name-formatname should be kebab-case (lowercase letters, digits, hyphens)
Process rating: all ten parameters 72/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (Nature-Style Academic Writer) differs from the folder (nature-style-writer)
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 28 steps
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1015 tokens
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
