Key Strengths

  • Best-in-class progressive disclosure: 160-line SKILL.md body backed by 7 lean reference files — minimal always-on token cost
  • Exemplary causal/correlational evidence separation with explicit language rules enforced via Hard Rule 4 and validation-evidence-hierarchy.md
  • 12 Hard Rules + dedicated Input Validation section constitute a robust multi-layer guardrail system
  • Pattern D step-order inversion (MR-first for exposure-driven studies) demonstrates genuine methodological depth beyond template execution
  • Mandatory self-critical risk review (Hard Rule 10) covering 6 scientific risk dimensions is unusually thorough for a planning skill
