Evidence Insight
topic-evidence-mapper
Rapidly maps the evidence landscape around a medical topic by organizing major research streams, target populations, endpoints, methods, evidence density, and thin areas. Polished: mandatory training-knowledge label for density claims; description updated to differentiate from gap-finder; multi-topic depth warning; constructive evidence-map offer in scope redirect; operational prohibitions replace informal 'behave like' language.

Core Capability86 / 100 — 8 Categories
Functional Suitability
10 hard rules, 7 execution steps, 10 mandatory output sections (A–J), and 9 reference modules provide complete coverage of evidence mapping tasks. Minor gap: description does not clearly differentiate from medical-research-gap-finder, creating routing confusion for users.
11 / 12
92%
Reliability
Hard Rule 9 requires explicit disclosure of incomplete coverage; entry-point suggestions labeled conservatively. Key gap: evidence density and stream coverage claims are based on training knowledge but are not consistently required to carry explicit uncertainty labels.
9 / 12
75%
Performance & Context
232-line SKILL.md with 9 reference modules; all 9 reference modules explicitly referenced with per-step usage guidance. Token cost proportional to the 10-section output structure.
7 / 8
88%
Agent Usability
Sample triggers and scope redirect template are well designed; Core Function section uses informal 'behave like' language that is imprecise for agent instruction. Minor gap: no disambiguation guidance for the mapper vs. gap-finder routing decision.
14 / 16
88%
Human Usability
Natural trigger examples cover the most common use cases; sample triggers include 'Do not jump to gaps yet — show me the evidence map' which is excellent for user guidance. Minor gap: no guidance on output depth calibration for quick vs. deep mapping requests.
7 / 8
88%
Security
Hard rules prohibit formal gap claims without separate analysis; no fabrication of papers or citations; Mode A presents no credential or injection risks.
12 / 12
100%
Maintainability
All 9 reference modules explicitly referenced in SKILL.md with per-step usage guidance; clean modular structure. Minor gap: no version tracking for reference modules.

Agent-Specific
Entry-point suggestions without overstating as formal gaps is an important and rare discipline; downstream routing to the next best skill is well implemented. Composability as an upstream skill is acknowledged but formal interface not documented; multi-topic handling not defined.

Medical Task Total82.4 / 100
Key Strengths
- Entry-point suggestion discipline (never overstated as formal research gaps) is an important and rare capability that prevents premature study commitment based on incomplete landscape mapping
- 9-dimension mapping frame (streams, populations, endpoints, methods, density, thin areas, entry points, downstream routing) provides comprehensive evidence organization
- Explicit downstream routing to the next best skill (medical-research-gap-finder, literature-reader, etc.) makes this skill an effective upstream entry in the evidence workflow
- Hard Rule 1 (do not confuse mapping with gap-finding) is clearly enforced and well-supported by 10 hard rules that prevent scope creep across all 7 workflow steps
