IELTS Progress Reporter

A single essay mark tells the candidate how one draft went. A progress report tells them whether they are actually getting better, which weaknesses keep recurring, and where the next hour of study should go. This skill reads the feedback files an IELTS practice vault has already accumulated and turns the recorded bands and error tags into that picture.

The feedback files are the source of truth. Each one in feedback/ opens with YAML frontmatter holding the per-criterion bands and a list of error tags (schema below). This skill only reads and aggregates what is already there — it does not re-mark drafts and never fabricates a band for an attempt that has no feedback file yet.

Use this when

• The user wants an overview of how their IELTS Writing is trending across many attempts.
• The user asks which errors recur most, or whether a weakness is improving.
• The user wants a weekly/monthly report, or a running all-time snapshot.
• The user points at a feedback/ folder or _dashboard/ and wants it summarised.

Do not use this when

• The user wants a single draft marked → use ielts-writing-task1 or ielts-writing-task2.
• The user wants a study plan/schedule → use ielts-learning-planner.
• There are no feedback files yet → say so; there is nothing to aggregate. Do not estimate bands from raw drafts.
