SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pymupdf, pymupdf4llm, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Authors lack an objective, reviewer-style assessment of a manuscript before submission, so structural flaws, overclaims, and mechanical issues surface only after peer review or desk rejection. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five audit modes: quick-audit for readiness screens, deep-review for a full reviewer-style issue bundle, gate for PASS/FAIL submission decisions, re-audit for comparing revisions against prior reports, and polish prechecks. - Deterministic PRESUBMISSION layer: script-backed checks for em dashes, AI-tone term frequency, abstract completeness, and LaTeX citation/label/equation hygiene, kept separate from LLM reviewer judgment. - Committee and lane reviewers: editor, theory, literature, methodology, and logic committee agents plus cross-cutting lanes produce quote-anchored findings consolidated into a structured issue schema with a revision roadmap. - Use Case: Before submitting to IEEE, run gate mode on paper.tex to get an EIC desk-reject screening, a blocker list, and advisory items, then run deep-review to receive review_report.md and revision_suggestions.md with concrete fixes. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run a deep review of your manuscript, for example: review paper.tex like a serious conference reviewer and list the biggest validity risks.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-audit

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if my paper is ready to submit?

Run quick-audit mode on your .tex, .typ, or .pdf file to get submission blockers, quality improvements, and a checklist. For a binary decision, use gate mode, which adds an editor-in-chief desk-reject screening and reports PASS or FAIL.

How do I simulate peer review for a LaTeX paper?

Use deep-review mode, which runs a five-role committee (editor, theory, literature, methodology, logic) plus section and cross-cutting lanes. It produces review_report.md, revision_suggestions.md, and a structured final_issues.json with quote-anchored findings.

Does paper-audit work with PDF files instead of LaTeX source?

Yes, PDF input is supported but requires pip install pymupdf, with pymupdf4llm for the enhanced extraction path. PDF mode runs text-verifiable checks only and explicitly skips source-only hygiene checks like citation ties and label rules.

Can I re-audit a revised paper against a previous review?

Yes, re-audit mode requires --previous-report PATH and compares the new issue bundle against the old one. Findings are labeled FULLY_ADDRESSED, PARTIALLY_ADDRESSED, NOT_ADDRESSED, or NEW, including mechanical regression checks.

Will paper-audit rewrite or edit my manuscript?

No, it is a reviewer, not an editor. It never modifies .tex or .typ source; it reports issues with exact quotes and suggested wording, and routes actual rewriting requests to separate writing skills.

Does the audit support Chinese theses and bilingual reports?

Yes, the --lang zh flag renders reports in Chinese, and checklists cover Chinese thesis requirements such as GB/T 7714-2015 bibliography and bilingual abstracts. Issue quotes and structured fields stay in their original language.
