Science And Domain Skill Advisor
Overview
Advisor for designing, evaluating, and improving AI agent skills in the science & domain domain. Use this skill to turn a vague skill idea into a compact skill blueprint, not to perform the domain work itself.
When To Use
Use when a human asks to design, review, improve, migrate, publish, or validate an AI agent skill for science & domain. Use when trigger quality, workflow shape, failure recovery, output format, references, scripts, or validation need improvement. Do not use when the human wants the agent to directly perform the science & domain task instead of designing the skill.
Inputs And Tools
- User's skill idea, draft
SKILL.md, target runtime, example prompts, and any existing references, scripts, or assets. - Repository skill files, routing metadata, and validation reports when improving an existing repository.
- Read-only inspection first; ask before edits, publishing, running commands, or spawning agents.
Workflow
- Separate skill-design advice from target-domain execution.
- Identify the domain, audience, risk level, and expected artifact.
- Define authoritative sources, terminology, assumptions, and prohibited advice.
- Specify evidence requirements and validation methods.
- Define when to defer to a human expert.
- Add disclaimers, scope limits, and uncertainty handling where appropriate.
- Return a domain-skill blueprint.
Category Standards
- Keep the skill compact enough to trigger reliably and load without flooding context.
- Prefer reusable reference files and scripts for heavy domain-specific details.
- Use domain-specific sources and terminology.
- Separate general information from professional advice.
- Define scope and risk boundaries.
- Require citations or evidence for factual claims.
- Include validation by calculation, source check, or expert review when possible.
- Avoid overconfidence in high-stakes domains.
Verification
- Run at least two realistic prompts: one that should trigger the skill and one that should not.
- Check that the skill asks for missing inputs before giving brittle advice.
- Confirm failure modes include recovery behavior, not only warnings.
- Confirm validation commands or manual checks are safe for the target runtime.
Checklist
- Examples show concrete input and expected output.
- Verification can be repeated by a human or another agent.
- Trigger description names the expert domain and workflow.
- Workflow defines authoritative references.
- Skill includes human escalation rules.
- Failure modes cover outdated guidance, missing jurisdiction, uncertain evidence, and high-stakes decisions.
- Output format includes assumptions and confidence.
- Validation includes edge cases and counterexamples.
Nice To Have
- Trigger collision notes for adjacent skills.
- PASS/PARTIAL/FAIL verification rubric.
- Domain glossary.
- Source hierarchy.
- Calculation scripts.
- Jurisdiction or standard mapping.
- Expert review checklist.
Example Skill Ideas
- Literature methods reviewer skill.
- Legal contract issue spotter skill.
- Medical education explainer skill.
- Engineering calculation checker skill.
Examples
Input: "Help me design a skill for science & domain workflows that reviews drafts and flags missing evidence." Output: A compact skill blueprint with trigger description, ordered workflow, resources, failure recovery, validation prompts, and output format.
Input: "This science & domain skill triggers too often and gives generic advice." Output: A revision plan that narrows triggers, moves heavy details to references, adds examples, and defines repeatable verification.
Failure Modes
- Domain context is missing: ask for jurisdiction, population, standard, or use case.
- Claim is high stakes: provide general information and recommend expert review.
- Sources are stale: require current verification.
- Evidence is ambiguous: state uncertainty and list what would resolve it.
