SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps authors improve manuscript quality by simulating peer review, constructing reviewer personas from Zotero sources, and generating actionable feedback across theory, methods, and findings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reviewer persona construction: Build reviewer profiles from identified perspectives grounded in literature.
  • Literature retrieval: Fetch full texts from Zotero to support persona-based reviews.
  • Simulated reviews: Generate focused reviews for theory, methods, and findings.
  • Synthesis & strategy: Produce a synthesis memo with recommended revision approaches to guide authors.

Quick Start

Invoke the peer-reviewer to generate 2-3 reviewer perspectives from your Zotero library and produce focused reviews on Theory, Methods, and Findings. Then provide your manuscript sections and guidance on which parts to prioritize.
