# Text Statistics Skill

Analyze a block of text and report structural and readability metrics.

## How it works

1. Tokenize the input into sentences and words.
2. Count words, sentences, and characters.
3. Estimate syllables per word to compute an approximate Flesch reading-ease score.
4. Return all metrics as a structured object.

## Usage

Call the skill with a single `text` input. The skill returns the metrics
described in the `outputs` section of the frontmatter.
