What problem does it solve?
The paper-editor skill provides a blunt, structured editorial audit that identifies submission-killing weaknesses and prescribes targeted fixes for academic finance working papers and manuscripts.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Seven-audit publishability review: Reviews the abstract, introduction, section-by-section content, argumentation, prose quality, citations, and holistic “So What” framing.
- Report-driven revision workflow: Produces a formal editorial report using a consistent template and writes it to
correspondence/the_editor/ so the author can respond in rounds.
- Non-invasive safety guardrails: Reads and compiles to understand the paper, but never directly modifies author
.tex, .bib, figures, or any manuscript files without permission.
- R&R Mode support: When responding to referees, maps concerns to the response letter claims and verifies whether revisions actually resolve them.
Quick Start
Use the paper-editor skill to audit the author’s current draft for submission readiness and generate a dated round report in the editor correspondence folder.
