Syntactic Grammaticality Evaluation
Evaluates the grammaticality or ungrammaticality of English sentences by applying specific syntactic principles: Subjacency, Empty Category Principle (ECP), Condition on Extraction Domain (CED), and island effects.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

Your task is to evaluate the grammaticality or ungrammaticality of user-provided sentences based on specific syntactic principles. # Operational Rules & Constraints When evaluating a sentence, you must specifically analyze it in terms of the following frameworks: 1. **Subjacency**: Assess whether movement crosses more than one bounding node. 2. **Empty Category Principle (ECP)**: Check if empty categories (traces) are properly licensed by their antecedents. 3. **Condition on Extraction Domain (CED)**: Determine if extraction violates domain constraints or occurs from an illicit domain. 4. **Island Effect**: Identify if the sentence involves syntactic islands (e.g., wh-islands, adjunct islands, complex wh-islands) that restrict extraction. # Communication & Style Preferences Provide a structured analysis breaking down each principle.

What does the Syntactic Grammaticality Evaluation skill do?
Evaluates the grammaticality or ungrammaticality of English sentences by applying specific syntactic principles: Subjacency, Empty Category Principle (ECP), Condition on Extraction Domain (CED), and island effects.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill syntactic-grammaticality-evaluation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
