SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

LaTeX manuscripts often drift from formal writing standards; this skill automates detection of style violations to help researchers produce clearer, publication-ready papers with less manual proofreading.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rule-based analysis: checks LaTeX text against the academic writing rules defined in .claude/rules/academic-writing.md.
  • Project-aware terminology: reads project terminology from CLAUDE.md to align language across the manuscript.
  • Comprehensive reporting: generates a structured report highlighting issues across 13 analysis categories, including citation verification and actionable suggestions.
  • Use Case: a researcher runs the check on a draft to surface passive voice, hedges, and formatting inconsistencies before submission.

Quick Start
