SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pandoc, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Academic paper review and revision is often ad-hoc and unstructured, making it hard to track issues, prioritize fixes, and respond to reviewers systematically. This Skill turns manuscript polishing into structured sprints with clear goals, quality gates, and traceable revision items. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Stage-Aware Sprint Planning: Auto-detects manuscript maturity (idea, early draft, mature draft, R&R, camera-ready) and estimates the sprint count needed with a recommended focus. - Multi-Lens Review: Evaluates papers through Contribution, Rigor, Writing, and Editor lenses, producing actionable critique tied to specific sections and lines. - Prioritized Backlog & Quality Gates: Converts every critique into a severity-ranked backlog item and enforces Contribution, Rigor, Writing, and human-only Submission gates. - Use Case: You received major revision comments on a journal submission. Provide the manuscript and reviewer comments, and the Skill maps each comment to backlog items, plans response sprints, and drafts a rebuttal strategy. ## Quick Start Use PaperSprint to review my manuscript at ./draft.md targeting ICIS 2026, auto-detect its stage, and run a full multi-lens review with a prioritized revision backlog.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-sprint-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review an academic paper with an AI assistant?▼

Provide your manuscript file and target venue, then run the intake and review commands. The skill reads sections in priority order, evaluates contribution, rigor, and writing through separate reviewer lenses, and produces a structured review memo with a gate decision.

How to respond to reviewer comments for a major revision?▼

Provide the manuscript plus the reviewer comments to trigger the R&R workflow. Each comment is mapped to a severity-ranked backlog item, and the amendment increment drafts changes and a response strategy while tracking which concerns are resolved.

What manuscript file formats are supported for paper review?▼

The skill accepts PDF, DOCX, LaTeX, and Markdown manuscripts in English or Chinese. Review reports can be exported to Markdown, DOCX, HTML, PDF, and LaTeX, with DOCX and PDF export requiring pandoc and a PDF engine such as xelatex.

Can the tool submit my paper automatically after revision?▼

No. The submission gate is human-only by design and can never be passed automatically. Before submitting, the author must verify all citations, claims, and format compliance using the generated human finalization checklist.

What are the limitations of automated manuscript review?▼

The skill only handles review, revision, and R&R workflows; it declines requests to write papers from scratch or generate research ideas. It cannot verify raw data accuracy, ethics approvals, or domain-specific correctness, so expert consultation is still required.
