Analyzes text readability using Flesch-Kincaid, Gunning Fog, SMOG and other metrics, returning scores with interpretation and recommendations.
- What it does
- Calculates readability metrics for a supplied text, including Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, Gunning Fog and SMOG, plus text statistics such as word count, sentence count, average sentence length, complex word percentage and an estimate of passive voice. It presents the scores in a table with interpretations, identifies a likely target audience, and offers specific recommendations for shortening sentences or simplifying complex words.
- When to use it
- Use it when you have a piece of text and want an objective sense of how difficult it is to read, which grade level it matches, or which sentences and words to simplify.
- Requirements
- No tools, packages or credentials are required beyond the agent; the skill is instructions only and ships no scripts.
