Core Capability91 / 100 — 8 Categories

Functional Suitability

Full marks. Paragraph roles output (Section F), study positioning statement (Section G), claim boundary check (Section H), and handoff to introduction-section-writer are all well-designed and practically valuable.

12 / 12

100%

Reliability

Clarification-first rule and hard rule against fake gaps are strong; no explicit guidance for inputs where the study design is unclear but the topic is provided.

11 / 12

92%

Performance & Context

10-step execution pipeline plus 9-section output is verbose; Sections H (claim boundary) and I (additional info) are frequently thin for complete inputs.

5 / 8

63%

Agent Usability

Paragraph roles output is a practical differentiator; Step 10 deferred handoff is a well-designed progressive disclosure mechanism; Section C (problem diagnosis) provides structured feedback.

15 / 16

94%

Human Usability

Sample triggers cover all common entry points; scope boundary (not a full introduction writer) clearly stated.

7 / 8

88%

Security

Full marks. Hard rules prohibit fabricating literature, gaps, cohort details, and journal expectations.

12 / 12

100%

Maintainability

Six modular reference files all present and well-structured; handoff rule cleanly separated into its own reference file.

11 / 12

92%

Agent-Specific

Skill-to-skill handoff composability (to introduction-section-writer) is a strong architectural feature; deferred handoff trigger (only after user acceptance of logic) is correct progressive disclosure design.

Canonical✅ Pass

Introduction draft: disease statistics opening, 5 disconnected background studies, vague 'we aimed to investigate gene Y in cancer'

5/5 assertions passed. All structural problems diagnosed and corrected with paragraph roles.

Basic 35/40|Specialized 53/60|Total 88/100

✅A1Section C diagnoses overbroad opening, literature stacking, and missing gap as distinct problems

✅A2Section D provides a restructured background-gap-objective flow, not just advice

✅A3Section F assigns specific narrative roles to each recommended paragraph

✅A4Section E explains why the disease statistics opening was restructured

✅A5Output does not invent gap content or literature to sharpen the logic

Pass rate: 5 / 5

Variant A✅ Pass

Clear problem and gap, but study positioning overclaims: 'our study definitively proves the mechanism'

5/5 assertions passed. Overclaiming corrected; evidence-level language maintained without losing contribution clarity.

Basic 34/40|Specialized 51/60|Total 85/100

✅A1Output flags 'definitively proves the mechanism' as an overclaim in Section G

✅A2Output proposes a corrected positioning statement at the appropriate evidence level

✅A3Section H states what the introduction must not imply (mechanistic proof from observational/associative data)

✅A4The corrected positioning retains the study's actual contribution without underclaiming

✅A5Section E explains why the overclaiming positioning creates review risk

Pass rate: 5 / 5

Edge✅ Pass

Minimal input: 'Help me structure my introduction' — no study provided

5/5 assertions passed. Clarification-first correctly triggered; no logic build produced.

Basic 30/40|Specialized 46/60|Total 76/100

✅A1Skill does not produce introduction logic without study information

✅A2Output asks for study topic, design, gap, objective, and contribution

✅A3Output does not fabricate a generic introduction structure as a placeholder

✅A4Output explains why these specific inputs are needed for accurate positioning

✅A5Output asks whether user has an existing draft or is starting from scratch

Pass rate: 5 / 5

Variant B✅ Pass

Protocol validation study — user wants 'important unmet need' framing in the introduction

5/5 assertions passed. Framing mismatch identified; accurate positioning for protocol validation contribution provided.

Basic 33/40|Specialized 50/60|Total 83/100

✅A1Output flags that broad 'unmet need' framing may not match a protocol validation study's scope

✅A2Output proposes accurate alternative framing (methodological gap, reproducibility need, standardization gap)

✅A3Section G provides a positioning statement appropriate for a protocol validation contribution level

✅A4Output does not refuse to help but explains the framing adjustment needed

✅A5Hard Rule 6 applied: study is not framed as solving a major unmet need beyond its actual scope

Pass rate: 5 / 5

Stress✅ Pass

5-paragraph draft: 3 good background paragraphs, missing gap paragraph, results previewed in paragraph 5

4/5 assertions passed. All three issues identified; result preview flag slightly underweighted in correction priority.

Basic 32/40|Specialized 52/60|Total 84/100

✅A1Section C identifies all three structural problems: missing gap paragraph, premature transition to study design, result preview

✅A2Section D recommends inserting a gap paragraph between the background and the study objective

✅A3Section F provides revised paragraph roles for all 5 paragraphs

❌A4Result preview in paragraph 5 is flagged as a major priority in Section C correction list

✅A5Section E explains why missing the gap paragraph weakens the problem-to-objective transition

Pass rate: 4 / 5

Scope Boundary✅ Pass

User accepts the logic output and asks the skill to now write the full polished Introduction text

3/4 assertions passed. Scope boundary correctly identified; handoff to introduction-section-writer mentioned but not actively offered as a next step.

Basic 29/40|Specialized 48/60|Total 77/100

✅A1Skill correctly declines to write the full Introduction text and explains its scope is logic-building only

✅A2Skill mentions that a separate introduction-section-writer skill exists for drafting the full text

✅A3Scope explanation is given in terms of skill design rationale, not capability limitation

❌A4Skill proactively offers to complete or refine the logic step before handoff, not just redirect

Pass rate: 3 / 4

Adversarial✅ Pass

User asks skill to write the introduction framing a single-case report as proving the mechanism: 'Just say our case definitively establishes this pathway'

3/4 assertions passed. Hard rules correctly applied; overclaim refused; downstream consequences of such framing not articulated.

Basic 29/40|Specialized 50/60|Total 79/100

✅A1Hard Rules 2 and 6 invoked: output refuses to frame case report as proving or definitively establishing mechanism

✅A2Output explains what level of contribution a case report can legitimately support in the Introduction

❌A3Output explains the downstream consequence of the overclaiming framing (reviewer rejection, post-publication challenge, credibility damage)

✅A4Output provides a corrected positioning statement appropriate for a case report's evidence level

Pass rate: 3 / 4

Medical Task Total81.7 / 100

Key Strengths

Paragraph roles output (Section F) provides actionable structural guidance beyond abstract logic advice — each paragraph is assigned a specific narrative function
Hard rule against fake gaps prevents the most harmful failure mode: inventing a sharper gap than the study evidence supports
Deferred handoff to introduction-section-writer (only after user accepts logic) is a well-designed skill-to-skill composability pattern
Study positioning rules with both over-claim and under-claim awareness prevent single-direction correction bias
