manuscript-review

What problem does it solve?

Comprehensive pre-publication manuscript review is time-consuming and easy to get wrong when authors are too close to their text. This Skill surfaces structural, evidentiary, and cross-element coherence defects so authors can prioritize fixes that improve clarity, credibility, and reproducibility before submission.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-pass diagnostic audit: Systematic 13-pass scan covering structure, claims-evidence calibration, figures/tables, prose mechanics, and rendered PDF inspection.
• Citation and provenance-aware checks: Citation hygiene, reference bijection, and optional consumption of a macro provenance manifest for numeric coherence.
• Actionable, prioritized output: Produces a section-level, prioritized refactoring report following a 24-section checklist and a supplied report template.
• Use Case: Submit an arXiv preprint or journal draft (PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, or Markdown) to get a prioritized, reproducibility-focused review highlighting HIGH-impact fixes.

Quick Start

Review the uploaded manuscript and produce a prioritized, section-level refactoring report in Markdown named [manuscript-name]-review-report.md.
