check-articulation

To find articulation gaps in a document, you can scan it using a 5W framework that detects missing WHAT, WHY, HOW, WHEN, and Limits explanations. The skill analyzes your text and outputs a structured report with quotes, severity, and copy-paste-ready edits.

Yes, you can check articulation gaps in PDF, LaTeX, Markdown, Word, and TXT files. The skill accepts these common document formats directly and analyzes them to locate missing explanations using the 5W framework.

To review only one section for missing explanations, use the --section switch followed by the section name. You can also combine it with the --focus switch to target a specific 5W area like why or how.

The best way to detect writing issues without generating automatic edits is to run the skill in detection-only mode using the --check-only switch. This outputs a structured gap report with quotes, locations, and severity without providing copy-paste-ready text.

Articulation gaps occur when an author knows something but has not explained it clearly in the text. You fix them by analyzing the document with a 5W framework and applying concrete, copy-paste-ready improvement suggestions to fill the missing explanations.

Automated document review for articulation gaps relies on a 5W framework to identify missing explanations, but it may not catch nuanced domain-specific context. Use the --check-only mode to review detected gaps manually before applying the generated edits.
