| description | All quality reviews for manuscripts, methods, code, talks, and replication packages. Use when the user asks for code review, paper review, causal audit, proofreading, peer review simulation, stress testing, or a weighted quality score. |
Review
Unified review workflow that routes to the appropriate critic or referee roles based on the target and requested mode.

Routing Logic
Auto-detect by target
- manuscript source -> comprehensive manuscript review
- R, Python, Stata, or Julia script -> code review
- talk source -> storyteller-critic audit
Explicit modes
- code review
- data-engineering review
- manuscript review
- methods-only review
- proofread / polish
- peer review simulation
- hostile stress test
- cross-language replication review
- full weighted review
Mode Details
Comprehensive Manuscript Review
Dispatch in parallel when appropriate:
- strategist-critic for the causal design audit
- writer-critic for manuscript polish
- Verifier for mechanical checks
Compute the weighted outcome using plugins/clo-author/references/quality-scoring.md.
Code Review
- Run
plugins/clo-author/hooks/lint-scripts.sh [file|dir] first.
- Dispatch
plugins/clo-author/references/active-critics/coder-critic.md in read-only mode.
- Save the report and quality outcome before proposing revisions.
Data-Engineering Review
- Run
plugins/clo-author/hooks/lint-scripts.sh [file|dir] first when scripts exist.
- Dispatch
plugins/clo-author/references/active-critics/data-engineer-critic.md in read-only mode.
- Save the report and quality outcome before proposing revisions.
Methods-Only Review
Dispatch plugins/clo-author/references/active-critics/strategist-critic.md standalone and run the four-phase econometric review.
Proofread / Polish
Dispatch plugins/clo-author/references/active-critics/writer-critic.md standalone, with content-invariants.md as the hard invariant layer for mechanical issues.
Full Peer Review
The peer-review route is explicit: editor desk review -> referee dispatch -> editorial decision.
- Editor runs a desk review and assigns referees.
- domain-referee and methods-referee review independently and blindly.
- Editor synthesizes the reports into FATAL / ADDRESSABLE / TASTE and produces the decision memo.
Save outputs to quality_reports/ with separate artefacts for desk review, referee reports, and the editorial decision.
Hostile Stress Test
Use the same peer-review routing but instruct the editor to select more adversarial calibration when the user asks for a stress test.
Cross-Language Replication Review
If the user asks for replication review:
- dispatch a second implementation in the requested language
- review both implementations
- compare output parity against the active tolerances before issuing a verdict
Reporting Rules
- For manuscripts and talks, cite invariant numbers when the issue is mechanical and non-negotiable.
- When reporting a weighted score, ground it in the active scoring rubric.
- Save findings before proposing revisions.
- Append a research-journal entry whenever the review changes project status or produces a formal gate outcome.
Outputs
- Review memo in
quality_reports/
- Weighted score or pass/fail result when applicable
- Peer-review decision memo when the editor/referee flow runs
- Clear next-step recommendation grounded in the saved review artefacts
Do not edit source files while running the review workflow. Review first, then route revisions explicitly.
