About
large-report-editor is a Claude Code skill for editing and compiling very large Markdown research reports. A developer uses it when reports are too big to edit safely in one pass, applying surgical patches guided by a structure JSON and following legal-grade citation rules. It requires citing every new statement with a StableID and page anchor and taking backups before major edits.
