Proofread Academic Writing
Run the proofreading protocol on papers, slides, notes, or other written content. Produces a report of all issues found WITHOUT editing any source files.
Steps
-
Identify files to review:
- If
$ARGUMENTS is a specific filename: review that file only
- If
$ARGUMENTS is "all": review all .tex, .qmd, and .md files in the project
-
For each file, launch the proofreader agent that checks for:
GRAMMAR: Subject-verb agreement, articles (a/an/the), prepositions, tense consistency
TYPOS: Misspellings, search-and-replace artifacts, duplicated words
OVERFLOW: Overfull hbox (LaTeX), content exceeding slide boundaries (Quarto)
CONSISTENCY: Citation format, notation, terminology
ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, missing words, awkward constructions
-
Produce a detailed report for each file listing every finding with:
- Location (line number or section/slide title)
- Current text (what's wrong)
- Proposed fix (what it should be)
- Category and severity
-
Save each report to quality_reports/FILENAME_proofread_report.md
-
IMPORTANT: Do NOT edit any source files.
Only produce the report. Fixes are applied separately after user review.
-
Present summary to the user:
- Total issues found per file
- Breakdown by category
- Most critical issues highlighted
