What problem does it solve?
Draft research papers often contain theoretical inconsistencies, overclaims, notation conflicts, and formatting violations that require multiple tedious rounds of manual review and revision before submission.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated Review-Fix Loop: Sends the full paper text to GPT-5.4 (xhigh reasoning) via Codex MCP for a structured reviewer-style critique, then implements CRITICAL/MAJOR/MINOR fixes and recompiles with latexmk, for two rounds.
- State Recovery & Logging: Persists progress in PAPER_IMPROVEMENT_STATE.json for context-compaction recovery and records every review and fix in PAPER_IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md with score progression.
- Format Compliance Check: Detects overfull/underfull hbox warnings and page-limit violations, applying fixes like \resizebox or content moves to the appendix.
- Use Case: After generating an ICLR paper draft, run the loop to raise the review score from 4/10 to 7/10 by fixing assumption mismatches, softening overclaims, and adding missing references—while preserving per-round PDFs for comparison.
