SKILL.md

This skill guides the creation of effective academic recommendation letters that provide evidence-based advocacy. Strong letters combine concrete examples, meaningful comparisons, and genuine enthusiasm to differentiate candidates and support their applications for positions, awards, or opportunities.

Trigger phrases: "recommendation letter", "reference letter", "nomination", "write a letter for", "letter of support", "endorse", "vouch for"

Identify: Who is the candidate? What opportunity? Your relationship (advisor, collaborator, instructor)? How long have you known them? In what capacity? See resources/methodology.md for information checklist.

Use when writing recommendation letters, reference letters, or award nominations for students, postdocs, or colleagues. Invoke when user mentions recommendation letter, reference, nomination, letter of support, endorsement, or needs help with strong advocacy, comparative statements, or evidence-based character assessment.
