## What it does

The skill converts an instructor's rubric, template, or guidelines into an explicit `Submission Spec`. Auditing begins only after the instructor approves this standard. A four-agent workflow splits criteria into deterministic checks, like missing sections or file conventions, and judgment-based content evaluations.

Every finding must cite its exact location in the student's file, including section headings, page numbers, or code line coordinates. Unsupported generalities are rejected. During batch processing, the auditor drafts individual feedback notes alongside a class-level pattern summary that highlights widespread errors.

This tool audits structural compliance rather than assigning letter grades or scores. If an assignment standard is not confirmed, the skill forces `spec` mode first so evaluations never rely on unverified assumptions.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill submission-auditor -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/submission-auditor/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/submission-auditor/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill submission-auditor -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/submission-auditor/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill submission-auditor -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/submission-auditor/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install YujxZJCN/teaching-skills submission-auditor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/submission-auditor/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill submission-auditor -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --path submission-auditor
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/submission-auditor/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add YujxZJCN/teaching-skills --skill submission-auditor -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/YujxZJCN/teaching-skills/tree/HEAD/submission-auditor/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn assignment templates and rubrics into a verifiable checklist
- audit student submissions for required sections and formatting
- locate submission discrepancies with exact page and line citations
- generate aggregate defect summaries across an entire student cohort

## Example prompts
- Here is my lab report rubric, audit these student submissions against it
- Create a pre-submission self-check list students can review before the deadline
- Check this project draft against our department guidelines

# Submission Auditor — Specification-Driven Submission Review

Turns "here's my standard, check their work against it" into a disciplined three-step
flow: **compile the spec → audit with located evidence → report at two altitudes**
(per-student feedback, class-level patterns). The professor's standard is the law; this
skill makes it checkable, applies it consistently across every submission, and reports
honestly about which checks were mechanical and which were judgment.

> **Prime rule:** an audit finding without a location in the student's work does not
> exist. Every finding cites where it looked ("§3 Results, p.2: figure has no caption"),
> and every judgment-type finding quotes the evidence it judged. "Generally weak
> formatting" is not a finding.

## Quick Start

```
Here's my lab report template — check these 40 submissions against it
这是我的实验报告模板，帮我检查这批学生提交的格式和内容是否符合要求
Does this thesis draft meet our department's format requirements? (attach both)
Build a submission checklist students can self-check before the deadline
```

## Modes

| Mode | Trigger intent | Output |
|------|---------------|--------|
| `spec` | "Here's my template/requirements" (first contact with a new standard) | Compiled Submission Spec — every requirement made checkable, classified deterministic vs judgment, confirmed at a checkpoint |
| `audit` | "Check this submission" with a spec (or material to compile one) | Audit findings + per-student feedback report draft |
| `batch-audit` | "Check these N submissions" | Per-student reports + class-level pattern report + consistency record |
| `self-check` | "Make a checklist students can use themselves" | Student-facing self-check version of the spec (deterministic checks only, supportive phrasing) |
