SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents submission delays by performing a thorough pre-submission consistency and coherence audit of academic manuscripts, especially in accounting and finance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Exhaustive cross-reference audits: Verifies that every in-text reference to tables, figures, equations, sections, appendices, footnotes, and citations points to an existing element and matches what the referenced item contains.
  • Table and figure consistency checks: Flags internal inconsistencies in numbering, captions/notes, significance labeling, variable definitions, and plausibility of reported statistics and sample sizes.
  • Main paper ↔ supporting document coherence: When provided, checks alignment across the main manuscript, online appendix, and response letter so promises and referenced changes remain fulfilled.

Quick Start

Use the consistency-checker to audit your submitted manuscript by prompting: "Run a full pre-submission consistency audit on the attached main paper LaTeX (and online appendix/response letter if available) and return a categorized issue report with a severity-sorted summary table."

What is pre-submission consistency checking for academic manuscripts?▼

Pre-submission consistency checking for academic manuscripts is an exhaustive audit process that validates cross-references, table and figure numbering, variable definitions, and methodology coherence across main and supporting documents to prevent submission delays.

Can I check alignment between a main paper and an online appendix or response letter?▼

Yes, you can check alignment between a main paper and supporting documents. When provided, the audit checks coherence across the main manuscript, online appendix, and response letter so referenced changes and promises remain fulfilled.

How do I audit variable definitions and sample sizes in accounting and finance working papers?▼

To audit variable definitions and sample sizes in accounting and finance working papers, perform a consistency check that flags internal inconsistencies in significance labeling, variable definitions, and plausibility of reported statistics across documents.

Does the consistency audit report categorize issues by severity?▼

Yes, the consistency audit report categorizes issues by severity. It produces a detailed, location-anchored report organized into ten audit categories and prioritizes identified issues by severity for efficient pre-submission quality control.

When do I need a manuscript audit for citations validation?▼

You need a manuscript audit for citations validation when finalizing working papers, responding to a revise and resubmit decision, or preparing accounting and finance manuscripts for journal submission to ensure exact element-level verification.
