Proofread Manuscript

Run a comprehensive proofreading review on the specified file. Do NOT edit any source files -- produce a report only.

Steps

  1. Identify target: Use

    $ARGUMENTS
    to find the file. If
    all
    , scan all
    .tex
    files in the paper folder.

  2. Launch proofreader agent following the full protocol from

    .claude/agents/proofreader.md
    .

  3. Check five categories:

    • GRAMMAR: Subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, tense consistency
    • TYPOS: Misspellings, search-and-replace artifacts, duplicated words
    • OVERFLOW: Overfull hbox in LaTeX, long equations without proper breaks
    • CONSISTENCY: Citation format, notation, terminology across sections
    • ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, missing words, awkward constructions, claims without citations
  4. Save report to

    quality_reports/[filename]_report.md
    with:

    • Line number, current text, proposed fix, category, severity for each issue
  5. Present summary: Total issues, severity breakdown, top 3 critical issues.

Important

  • NEVER edit source files. Report only.
  • Follow the three-phase protocol in
    .claude/rules/proofreading-protocol.md
