SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Analytical writing often fails through narrative fallacy, over-generalization, false analogies, hype, or unsupported certainty. This Skill provides a disciplined workflow for drafting, editing, and reviewing explanatory content so claims stay grounded in evidence and readers get practical takeaways. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Four operating modes: Draft new essays and explainers, Edit existing prose, Review arguments with severity-ranked findings, or Shape a thesis and outline before writing. - Evidence protocol: Classifies every major claim as verified fact, strong source, limited signal, reasoned hypothesis, or unsupported, with calibrated language like "suggests" versus "shows". - Failure audit: Detects narrative fallacy, survivorship bias, false equivalency, hidden ideology, and intellectual smugness using a six-dimension review rubric. - Use Case: A writer drafting a data-driven essay on AI adoption uses Shape mode to build a thesis and evidence plan, drafts the piece with earned "aha" pivots and scale analogies, then runs the failure audit to catch over-generalized claims before publishing. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to draft an evidence-grounded explainer on your topic, or paste your draft and request a critical review of its argument strength.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a data-driven essay without overclaiming?▼

Classify each major claim by evidence strength before drafting: verified fact, strong source, limited signal, reasoned hypothesis, or unsupported. Use calibrated language such as "suggests" for limited evidence and reserve "shows" for strong evidence, then state the boundaries of each claim.

How do I review an argument for logical fallacies?▼

Use Review mode to get findings ordered by severity in the format [HIGH|MED|LOW] passage, flaw name, why it weakens the piece, and a specific fix. The audit checks narrative fallacy, over-generalization, just-so storytelling, false equivalency, hidden ideology, and intellectual smugness.

What is the difference between Draft, Edit, Review, and Shape modes?▼

Draft produces finished content from a brief, Edit returns revised prose with concise change notes, Review delivers severity-ranked critique with rubric scores, and Shape outputs a thesis, reader turn, evidence plan, and outline before any drafting begins.

When should I not use critical writing for content editing?▼

Route grammar-only edits, tone polish, and AI-tell cleanup to clear-writing or humanizer skills instead. Brand messaging, conversion copy, executive communications, and viral hooks also fall outside this skill's analytical scope.

Can it imitate a specific famous writer's style?▼

No. The skill explicitly refuses to mimic any named living writer's signature phrasing or persona. It converts such requests into neutral craft traits like scale analogies, character-led explanation, conversational wit, and practical takeaways.
