Use when reviewing or editing research manuscripts, journal articles, reviews, or perspectives. Invoke when user mentions manuscript, paper draft, article, research writing, journal submission, reviewer feedback, or needs to improve scientific writing clarity, structure, or argumentation in their manuscript.
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.
Evaluate whether figures and plots in a manuscript effectively communicate the claims they support. Audits chart-type fit, axis design, visual hierarchy, data density, caption interpretation, perceptual accuracy, and narrative arc across 8 dimensions. Triggers on: "do my figures work", "check my plots", "are my graphs clear", "figure audit", "do my figures support my claims", "visualization review", "figure rhetoric", "plot review", "chart critique", "visual argument check". Companion to manuscript-review §12 (legibility) and figure-table-quality (rendering).
Critical analysis of research papers, academic manuscripts, preprints, and technical studies — evaluating methodology, claims-evidence alignment, contribution significance, and intellectual honesty. Produces coherent analytical responses (not checklists) that distinguish genuine weaknesses from standard field limitations. Governs intellectual posture: collegial reader, not adversarial reviewer. Triggers on: "critique this paper", "review this research", "what do you think of this paper", "analyze this study", "evaluate the methodology", "is this paper sound", "assess this research", "strengths and weaknesses of this paper", "does the evidence support the claims". Use this skill when the user provides a research paper, preprint, or technical study and asks for critical evaluation of its scientific merit, methodology, or contribution — not formatting, citation hygiene, or submission readiness (use manuscript-review for those).
Computational provenance audit verifying every number, table, and figure in a manuscript derives from code, not manual entry. Triggers on: "check provenance", "verify reproducibility", "audit my pipeline", "are my numbers from code", "provenance audit". Companion to manuscript-review (prose audit).
Pre-submission validation audit for arXiv papers across TeX source, PDF, figures, metadata, bibliography, file organization, and common-error scans. Produces pass/fail report with specific fixes per arXiv requirement. Triggers on: "check my arXiv submission", "validate for arXiv", "arXiv preflight", "ready for arXiv", "arxiv check", "arxiv submission readiness". Companion to manuscript-review (prose), manuscript-provenance (code), arxiv-figures, arxiv-package.
Audit academic manuscripts for typographic design conventions: booktabs table style, caption placement, dashes/quotes, units and numbers, cross-reference style, page layout, typographic hierarchy, professional polish. Triggers on: "check typography", "fix formatting", "polish my paper", "check my LaTeX", "typographic review", "make it look professional", "check tables", "fix captions". Companion to manuscript-review (content) and arxiv-preflight (compliance).
Mechanize Pattern 15 — the seven-pass adversarial review protocol for academic manuscripts. Spawns 7 forked subagents in parallel (abstract, intro, methods, results, robustness, prose, citations), then synthesizes a prioritized revision checklist. Use for submission-ready or R&R-stage papers where single-pass review isn't enough.
Use this skill for "review this paper", "review this manuscript", "peer review", "review my paper", "critique this manuscript", "review this submission", "give me feedback on my paper", "check my methods", "review my statistics", "review as a peer reviewer", "evaluate this manuscript", "review this PDF", or mentions manuscript review, peer review, paper critique, or methodological review.
Use when verifying citations, bibliography, manuscript claims, source support, factual accuracy, numerical results, citation drift, or evidence provenance in academic work.
