name: text-statistics description: Analyze text for word count, reading time, complexity metrics, and readability scores. Use when user asks to analyze document length, calculate reading time, or assess text complexity.

Text Statistics

Quick analysis of text metrics including word count, reading time, complexity, and readability.

When to Use

Invoke when user:

• Asks "how long is this text?"
• Wants reading time estimates
• Needs complexity or readability scores
• Says "analyze this document" or "how many words?"

Core Capabilities

1. Basic Metrics

Word Count

• Total words
• Unique words
• Average word length

Character Count

• With and without spaces
• Alphanumeric vs punctuation

Reading Time

• Assuming 200-250 words/minute
• Adjusted for complexity

2. Complexity Analysis

Sentence Structure

• Average sentence length
• Sentence length variance
• Simple vs complex sentences

Vocabulary

• Unique word ratio
• Long word percentage (7+ chars)
• Syllable count estimates

3. Readability Scores

Flesch Reading Ease

• 0-100 scale
• Higher = easier to read

Grade Level Estimate

• US grade level equivalent
• Based on sentence/word complexity
