SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Comprehensive pre-publication manuscript review is time-consuming and easy to get wrong when authors are too close to their text. This Skill surfaces structural, evidentiary, and cross-element coherence defects so authors can prioritize fixes that improve clarity, credibility, and reproducibility before submission.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-pass diagnostic audit: Systematic 13-pass scan covering structure, claims-evidence calibration, figures/tables, prose mechanics, and rendered PDF inspection.
  • Citation and provenance-aware checks: Citation hygiene, reference bijection, and optional consumption of a macro provenance manifest for numeric coherence.
  • Actionable, prioritized output: Produces a section-level, prioritized refactoring report following a 24-section checklist and a supplied report template.
  • Use Case: Submit an arXiv preprint or journal draft (PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, or Markdown) to get a prioritized, reproducibility-focused review highlighting HIGH-impact fixes.

Quick Start

Review the uploaded manuscript and produce a prioritized, section-level refactoring report in Markdown named [manuscript-name]-review-report.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about manuscript-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a pre-submission manuscript review on a preprint PDF?▼

Pre-submission manuscript review on a preprint PDF is performed by ingesting the file to detect structural, logical, and citation defects, producing a prioritized refactoring report based on a 24-point checklist.

Can I use a manuscript review tool to check citation hygiene and reference bijection in my LaTeX thesis?▼

Yes, manuscript review tools can check citation hygiene and reference bijection in a LaTeX thesis by scanning for cross-element coherence defects and consuming a macro provenance manifest for numeric coherence.

What is the best way to audit reproducibility and claims-evidence calibration in an academic manuscript?▼

The best way to audit reproducibility in an academic manuscript is through a multi-pass diagnostic scan that systematically evaluates claims-evidence calibration, figures, tables, and prose mechanics.

Does manuscript review work with Markdown and DOCX files or only rendered PDFs?▼

Manuscript review works with Markdown and DOCX files, as well as LaTeX and rendered PDFs, applying a 13-pass scan to inspect structure, logical coherence, and rendered output.

What sections does a prioritized manuscript refactoring report include?▼

A prioritized manuscript refactoring report includes section-level feedback conforming to a 24-section checklist, highlighting HIGH-impact fixes to improve clarity, credibility, and reproducibility.

Why does my academic manuscript need a targeted review of methods and figures before journal submission?▼

An academic manuscript needs a targeted review of methods and figures before journal submission to surface evidentiary and cross-element coherence defects that authors often miss when too close to the text.
