Ran a real message with 4 planted errors ('I go to store yesterday to buying...familly...whats the weather...tokyo') through it: skill output caught all 4 with strikethrough/bold diffs, category tags, and a grammar tip, versus the baseline's plain weather answer that ignored the errors entirely — but the 'adapts to the user's level over time' claim has no memory/persistence mechanism, it only works within one conversation's context.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 9/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
What English Coach does
Wraps every reply in a two-part structure: answer the user's actual question first, then a separated 'English Corrections' block that flags up to 5 grammar/spelling/word-choice/punctuation mistakes with before/after diffs and category tags, plus a rotating phrase-of-the-day or grammar tip. Triggers when a user wants to practice English through real conversation; explicitly excludes code reviews and technical docs.
