manuscript-review

Execute a comprehensive, multi-pass diagnostic audit of an academic or technical manuscript, producing a structured improvement report that identifies issues across 24 audit dimensions — from macro-coherence and argumentative architecture through claims-evidence calibration, narrative flow, prose

microstructure, rendered visual inspection, and cross-element coherence, down to citation hygiene and reproducibility.

The output is a prioritized, actionable improvement plan — not a line edit. The goal is to surface structural, logical, and clarity issues that authors systematically miss because they're too close to the text.

Systematic pre-publication manuscript audit producing a structured refactoring report with section-level diagnostics, citation hygiene analysis, and submission-readiness assessment. Use this skill whenever the user uploads a manuscript, paper, thesis chapter, journal submission, or conference paper and asks for review, feedback, editing, refactoring, pre-submission check, proofreading, or quality audit. Also trigger when the user says "review my paper", "check before submission", "is this ready to submit", "pre-pub checklist", "manuscript review", "refactor my paper", or asks about citation consistency, argument coherence, or formatting compliance. Covers partial requests like "check my references" or "does the abstract work" — the full diagnostic surfaces issues across all facets even when only one was asked about.
