AB academic-writing-polisher
Use when researchers need a Nature-inspired, context-first workflow to polish academic paragraphs, abstracts, reviewer responses, peer-review comments, or editorial feedback. Revises for clarity, coherence, concision, and journal-ready tone while preserving author intent, avoiding invented claims or citations, and flagging ambiguity or meaning risks.

As a process B 75/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: inputs and preconditions, running it twice, progress reporting
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.

Process rating: all ten parameters 75/100
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 1 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 60Failures and branches. 2 branches
- 100Tools and files. No external tools needed
- 100Steps. 40 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1195 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.
