To fix a comma splice in multi-clause sentences, the Skill evaluates the underlying clause relation and applies a Pass/Fail rubric to determine if a semicolon, period, or conjunction is the structurally correct punctuation choice.

You should use a semicolon instead of a comma or period when the relation between clauses demonstrates strong contrast, sequence, parallelism, or complex listing, verified through objective grammar-compatibility and relational logic checks.

To edit paragraphs and correct semicolon misuse, the Skill uses a repair workflow that identifies weak prose, isolates the punctuation fault, provides a better clause structure, and validates the fix with a strict Pass/Fail rubric.

The best way to check if punctuation matches clause relations is to apply a style rubric that produces objective Pass/Fail judgments on grammar-compatibility and relational logic, ensuring semicolons map correctly to contrast, sequence, or parallelism.

Yes, the semicolon checker preserves your original writing style by using a source-model preservation workflow for strong exemplars, only falling back to a weak-text repair workflow when the prose is structurally inadequate.
