Quick Review

Excellent comprehensive skill for research grant writing across five major funding agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA, NSTC). The description clearly conveys the scope, and SKILL.md provides extensive task knowledge including agency-specific requirements, review criteria, writing strategies, common pitfalls, workflows, and structured guidance for all major proposal components. The structure is logical with clear sections and references to supporting files for deep dives. The skill demonstrates strong novelty by consolidating complex, agency-specific knowledge that would otherwise require extensive research and domain expertise. The mandatory integration with scientific-schematics for visual elements adds practical value. Minor deductions in structure reflect some density in the main document (though appropriate given complexity), and novelty is slightly reduced because grant writing assistance, while valuable, builds on established domain knowledge rather than introducing entirely new capabilities. Overall, this is a highly useful skill that would significantly reduce the cognitive and time burden for researchers preparing competitive proposals.
