SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Draft papers often contain hidden issues—broken logic chains, grammar errors, LaTeX formatting mistakes, weak figures, and AI-tone vocabulary—that reviewers flag or that sink a submission. This Skill audits a full paper or key sections before the deadline and produces a prioritized, severity-tagged list of findings so authors know exactly what to fix first. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Five-dimension review: Checks macro logic, writing details, English grammar, LaTeX formatting, and figure quality against canonical rule references. - Severity taxonomy: Tags every finding as CRITICAL, MAJOR, or MINOR, with CRITICAL items blocking submission until addressed. - Banned-vocabulary and em-dash scan: Detects AI-tone words (e.g., innovative, groundbreaking-style hyperbole) and em-dash misuse across the entire paper. - Use Case: Three days before a conference deadline, submit your draft and receive a structured report quoting specific problem sentences, citing the exact grammar or LaTeX rule violated, and ending with a 1-10 score and submission recommendation. ## Quick Start Use the phd-pre-submission-reviewer skill to review this paper draft and list all CRITICAL and MAJOR issues before submission.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a paper draft before submission?

Provide the full paper or key sections and ask for a pre-submission review. The skill checks five dimensions—macro logic, writing details, grammar, LaTeX format, and figure quality—and returns severity-tagged findings with concrete fix suggestions.

What does a CRITICAL finding mean in a paper review?

CRITICAL findings block submission until fixed. Examples include contributions that do not map to sections, a broken introduction flowchart, missing baselines, raster figures in the final draft, or page-limit violations.

Can it detect AI-generated writing style in papers?

Yes. It scans the entire paper for banned AI-tone vocabulary such as innovative, pioneering, unprecedented, and pave the way for. Three or more occurrences of any single banned term is flagged as a MAJOR finding.

Does the review check LaTeX formatting and citations?

Yes. It verifies non-breaking tildes before citations, label naming conventions, equation numbering and referencing, figure captions, vector figure formats, and page-limit compliance based on the bundled LaTeX rules reference.

When should I not use a pre-submission review?

Do not use it while the paper is still being structured or drafted; use drafting and template skills first. It is designed for complete drafts, typically three to five days before a deadline or after a major revision.
