SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writers often lose control of edits when collaborating in Overleaf; guarded manuscripts need auditing to prevent unauthorized changes by AI assistants and ensure the author’s intent remains intact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects changes to protected files in Overleaf projects (e.g., $OL/Sections/*.tex and $OL/presentation.tex) and flags edits not explicitly requested.
  • Spawns the manuscript-critic agent to classify each change as PERMITTED or VIOLATION, with a rationale per change.
  • Generates a structured audit report with violation details and suggested destinations (drafts, session log, or chat), plus guidance on reverting or preserving edits.

Quick Start

Run after any session that touched Overleaf files to review protected changes.
