Generates custom writing skills by performing systematic genre analysis on a corpus of academic article sections.

Genre Skill Builder is a specialized meta-skill designed for researchers and writers who need to codify specific writing styles into automated assistants. By analyzing a corpus of text—such as journal introductions, methodology sections, or conclusions—the skill identifies recurring structural patterns and rhetorical clusters. It then automates the creation of a new, fully-functional Claude Code skill that includes structured writing phases, style-specific benchmarks, and technique guides. This empirical approach ensures that generated writing guidance is based on real-world evidence rather than intuition, making it an essential tool for social science research and technical documentation.
