student-feedback

What problem does it solve?

Providing high-quality, strategic feedback to PhD students is crucial but time-intensive. This skill automates the generation of constructive critiques on academic work, focusing on contribution, feasibility, and impact, freeing up mentors to focus on deeper engagement.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Feedback: Evaluates paper drafts, dissertation chapters, research design memos, and progress updates.
• Strategic Focus: Prioritizes feedback on argument structure, theoretical framework, causal identification, and contribution.
• Collaborative Tone: Delivers honest yet encouraging feedback, acting as a thinking partner.
• Use Case: Provide a PhD student's research design memo and initial impressions. The skill will generate detailed major and minor comments, ranking design options and suggesting high-impact extensions, all while maintaining a supportive tone.

Quick Start

Use the student-feedback skill to review the attached PhD dissertation chapter on "Electoral Systems and Voter Turnout." I've noted some concerns about the data sources.
