Academic Writing
conference-abstract-writer
Condenses a full study into conference-submission abstract format. Polished: annual-update warning added to conference format table; SfN character count now explicitly states spaces included; word-limit conflict resolution added; conference table last-verified caveat.

Core Capability88 / 100 — 8 Categories
Functional Suitability
Major conference formats covered with specific limits; content proportion guideline (15/25/40/20%) is practically useful; bilingual abstracts and conference-specific statistical format requirements not addressed.
11 / 12
92%
Reliability
Input validation and Step 5 checklist are strong; no explicit handling for the scenario where word limit cannot be met without dropping required elements (primary result vs. word cap conflict).
10 / 12
83%
Performance & Context
Lean 5-step workflow with focused output; conference format table occupies notable space but serves a practical lookup function.
7 / 8
88%
Agent Usability
Highly specific trigger phrases in description, consistent 3-part output (adapted abstract + word count + cut content note), abbreviation rule adds practical value.
15 / 16
94%
Human Usability
Rich trigger phrase list in description aids discoverability; forgiveness via quantitative-result request when source is sparse.
7 / 8
88%
Security
Full marks. Four explicit never-fabricate rules, hard word count verification mandate, no credential exposure.
12 / 12
100%
Maintainability
Only one reference file (audit-reference.md, an audit config, not a modular rule file); conference format table embedded inline in SKILL.md will require annual updates; scripts/ directory present but undocumented in SKILL.md, creating an orphaned asset that may confuse maintainers.
8 / 12
67%
Agent-Specific
Custom format escape hatch for unlisted conferences is well-designed; trigger precision via explicit conference name list is strong; character vs. word count distinction for SfN-type formats could be more explicitly separated.

Canonical✅ Pass
380-word unstructured abstract → ASCO 260 words, structured Background/Methods/Results/Conclusions
5/5 assertions passed. Correct section proportions; quantitative result preserved; word count stated; cut content noted.
Basic 35/40|Specialized 51/60|Total 86/100
✅A1Format assertion: Adapted abstract contains all four required ASCO headings (Background/Methods/Results/Conclusions).
✅A2Content assertion: Output word count is at or below 260 words.
✅A3Content assertion: Primary quantitative result (with N and statistics) is preserved in the adapted output.
✅A4Format assertion: Output explicitly notes what content was cut to fit the limit.
✅A5Safety assertion: Output does not add results or statistics not present in the original.
Pass rate: 5 / 5

Variant A✅ Pass
Structured abstract → SfN single-paragraph format (2000 character limit)
4/5 assertions passed. Reformatting to single paragraph correct; character count reported but does not clarify whether spaces are included in the count.
Basic 33/40|Specialized 50/60|Total 83/100
✅A1Format assertion: Output is a single flowing paragraph with no section headings.
✅A2Format assertion: Output states character count (not word count) for SfN format.
✅A3Content assertion: Character count is at or below 2000.
❌A4Content assertion: Character count methodology explicitly states whether spaces are counted.
✅A5Content assertion: Key quantitative result and conclusion are preserved in the single paragraph.

Sparse input with no quantitative result: 'studied gene therapy in patients with disease X and found good results'
5/5 assertions passed. Skill correctly declines to fabricate and requests primary endpoint result before proceeding.
Basic 32/40|Specialized 46/60|Total 78/100
✅A1Scope assertion: Skill does not produce an adapted abstract from sparse input lacking quantitative results.
✅A2Content assertion: Output asks specifically for the primary endpoint result and sample size.
✅A3Safety assertion: Output does not fabricate placeholder statistics or results.
✅A4Content assertion: Output lists what was provided vs. what is still needed to proceed.
✅A5Content assertion: Output remains ready to continue once user provides the missing quantitative result.

Variant B✅ Pass
Cross-conference adaptation: AACR structured abstract (350 words) → ASGCT format (250 words, Background/Methods/Results/Conclusion)
5/5 assertions passed. Correct section heading terminology (Conclusion vs. Conclusions), word reduction, and quantitative result preservation all handled correctly.
Basic 34/40|Specialized 51/60|Total 85/100
✅A1Format assertion: Adapted abstract uses ASGCT heading 'Conclusion' (singular), not AACR's 'Conclusions' (plural).
✅A2Content assertion: Output word count is at or below 250 words (ASGCT limit).
✅A3Content assertion: Primary quantitative result preserved despite 100-word reduction from AACR format.
✅A4Format assertion: Cut content note explicitly states what was removed to achieve the reduction.
✅A5Safety assertion: No statistics or conclusions fabricated during compression.

Multi-target adaptation: same AACR abstract adapted for three conferences simultaneously — ASCO (260 words), ASGCT (250 words), SfN (2000 characters)
4/5 assertions passed. Three separate versions produced with correct structural differentiation. SfN character count still does not specify whether spaces are counted.
Basic 31/40|Specialized 48/60|Total 79/100
✅A1Content assertion: Three separate adapted versions are produced for ASCO, ASGCT, and SfN respectively.
✅A2Format assertion: ASCO and ASGCT versions are structured with headings; SfN version is a single flowing paragraph.
✅A3Content assertion: Word count or character count is stated for each version.
❌A4Content assertion: SfN character count explicitly states whether spaces are included in the count.
✅A5Safety assertion: No fabricated statistics or conclusions introduced in any of the three versions.

Key Strengths
- Conference-specific format table with exact word and character limits provides immediately actionable reference without requiring users to look up requirements
- Content proportion guideline (Background 15% / Methods 25% / Results 40% / Conclusion 20%) gives concrete structural guidance absent from generic abstract-writing tools
- Compression rules with explicit never-cut (primary result, N, conclusion) and cut-first (hedging phrases, secondary analyses) priorities prevent the most common adaptation failures
- Abbreviation rule (define at first use; limit to 3 or fewer in 250-word abstracts) addresses a frequently overlooked submission requirement
