Skills (12)

  • argument-organization-reviser

    Revise the structural organization of a research paper draft by applying a four-level top-down procedure — Frame (intro/conclusion alignment), Argument (section reasons + evidence ratios), Paper Organization (key-term threading + section signals), and Paragraphs (topic sentence placement + length).

  • counterargument-handler

    Anticipate, acknowledge, and respond to reader objections and alternative views in a research argument. Use this skill when the user has a draft argument or storyboard and needs to identify which objections readers will predictably raise, wants to decide which objections to acknowledge and which to

  • data-visualization-selector

    Select the correct graphic type (table, bar chart, line graph) for a dataset and rhetorical goal, then design and frame it to communicate evidence clearly and honestly. Use this skill whenever the user needs to present quantitative data in a research paper, report, thesis, presentation, or professio

  • prose-clarity-reviser

    Revise dense, unclear prose into clear, readable sentences by applying four diagnostic principles — characters-as-subjects, actions-as-verbs, old-before-new information flow, and complexity-last sentence endings. Use this skill whenever the user shares a draft passage, paragraph, or document and ask

  • research-argument-builder

    Build a complete, structured research argument from a framed problem — assembling all five elements (claim, reasons, evidence, acknowledgment/response, warrant) using the Claim→Reason→Evidence chain. Use this skill when the user has a research problem or framed question and needs to construct the su

  • research-introduction-architect

    Draft a complete research introduction and matching conclusion using the Context→Problem→Response architecture. Use this skill when the user has a framed research problem (condition + consequence) and needs to write or revise the opening and closing sections of a research paper; when an introduction

  • research-paper-planner

    Build a storyboard-based plan for a research paper and turn it into a first draft. Use this skill when the user has assembled a research argument — a main claim with supporting reasons, evidence, and acknowledgments — and now needs to organize it into a coherent, reader-ready structure before writin

  • research-problem-framer

    Transform a research question into a fully framed research problem that readers recognize as worth solving, using the condition+consequence structure and the So What? cascade test. Use this skill when the user has a research question but cannot explain why readers should care about the answer, has c

  • research-question-formulator

    Transform a broad topic into a focused, answerable research question with built-in significance using the 3-step sentence-completion formula (topic → direct question → So What?). Use this skill when the user has a subject or area of interest but no specific question, has a vague topic like "climate

  • source-evaluator

    Evaluate, triage, and actively read a set of research sources — books, articles, and online materials — by applying a dual-axis relevance-and-reliability screen, source-type skim protocols, and a two-pass active reading method that extracts data, arguments to respond to, and generative agreements an

  • source-incorporator

    Incorporate quoted, paraphrased, and summarized sources into research writing by applying a 3-branch selection decision tree, 3 integration methods for quotations, and a 5-mechanism inadvertent plagiarism prevention checklist. Use this skill when drafting or revising a paper that uses sources and yo

  • warrant-tester

    Test the warrants in a research argument — the general principles that connect reasons to claims. Use this skill when a reader might accept a reason as true but still deny it is relevant to the claim, the argument contains a logical leap between a reason and a claim that no stated principle explains

Prove an agent, prompt, model or tool change did not make the agent worse. Three deterministic stdlib scripts: a trajectory checker that grades tool-call paths (strict / unordered / subset / superset match modes, argument matching, forbidden tools that block in every mode, call ceilings); a flake detector that classifies each case as stable or flaky from repeated trials and reports pass@k and pass^k with Wilson intervals; and a paired regression gate that averages trials per case, tests per-case differences with a t-based CI and an exact one-sided McNemar test, and blocks the merge on a significant drop, a critical-case regression, a dropped case, or a quarantine entry without owner and expiry. Ships cs-eval-gatekeeper agent, /cs-agent-evals and /cs-eval-gate commands, 3 references, and a CI job example.
