Key Strengths

  • 11-section mandatory output structure ensures zero content omission across all valid use cases
  • Behavioral Rules + Escape Hatches combination provides robust adversarial and clinical-scope protection
  • Progressive Disclosure executed well: ~130-line SKILL.md body with 7 reference file pointers
  • Both veto gates (structural and research integrity) passed cleanly — zero scientific integrity risk
