SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify and import useful content that exists in earlier drafts, co-author notes, or related manuscript files but is missing from the current draft, reducing manual comparison and ensuring important material is not overlooked.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adversarial consolidation workflow: a "fixer" proposes additions and a "critic" evaluates them across up to two rounds to ensure quality and justification.
  • Additive updates only: approved or modified proposals are applied to a new draft version and new bibliography entries are added following naming conventions.
  • Verification and tooling: runs bibliography checks and render verification after applying changes, and documents the full exchange for auditability.
  • Use case: merge co-author annotations and older section drafts into the working QMD manuscript while preserving existing content and tracking decisions.

Quick Start

Consolidate the current draft 'current-draft.qmd' with 'earlier-draft.qmd' and 'coauthor-notes.md' and apply approved additions to produce a new verified draft.

Frequently Asked Questions about consolidate

FAQPage Schema
How do I merge content from earlier drafts and co-author notes into my current manuscript?

To merge content into your current manuscript, an adversarial workflow cherry-picks additions from comparison documents, applies approved changes additively to a new draft, and updates the bibliography automatically.

What is the best way to consolidate missing content from related section files into a working draft?

Consolidating missing content is best handled by a fixer-critic workflow that evaluates proposed additions across rounds, applies approved modifications additively, and runs verification checks to preserve existing material.

Does merging co-author annotations overwrite my existing QMD manuscript draft?

Merging co-author annotations does not overwrite your draft; the process applies approved changes additively to produce a new draft version, ensuring existing manuscript content is preserved.

How does the adversarial review process work when comparing manuscript drafts?

The adversarial review process works by having a fixer propose additions from comparison documents while a critic evaluates them, running up to two rounds to ensure quality and justification before applying changes.

Can I automatically update my bibliography when importing content from older drafts?

Yes, you can automatically update your bibliography when importing content; new entries are added following naming conventions, and bibliography checks are run after applying the approved changes.

Are there limitations to merging content from comparison documents into a current draft?

A limitation is that merging is additive only; it proposes additions rather than rewriting existing text, and changes depend on the critic's approval across up to two rounds to ensure quality.
