| description | Proofreading workflow for academic manuscripts and papers. |
Run the mandatory proofreading protocol on papers or manuscripts. Produces a report of all issues WITHOUT editing any source files.
Identify files to review:
$ARGUMENTS is a specific filename: review that file only$ARGUMENTS is all: review all files in manuscripts/ and Quarto/ (if it exists)$ARGUMENTS is a file in manuscripts/: treat as manuscript (not slides)$ARGUMENTS is empty or ambiguous and multiple files exist, ask the user to choose conversationally. Do not use request_user_input here because the selection may be multi-file and Codex question UI is single-choice only.For each file, read agents/proofreader.md and apply that proofreading protocol. By default, do this inline. If the user explicitly requested delegated proofreading, you may run the proofreader as a separate subagent. Check for:
GRAMMAR: Subject-verb agreement, articles (a/an/the), prepositions, tense consistency TYPOS: Misspellings, search-and-replace artifacts, duplicated words LAYOUT ISSUES: Overfull hbox (LaTeX slides/manuscripts), content exceeding slide boundaries (Quarto), table/column overflow in manuscripts CONSISTENCY: Citation format, notation, terminology, variable names matching table column names ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, missing words, awkward constructions
Produce a detailed report for each file listing every finding with:
Save each report to quality_reports/:
quality_reports/ if it is missing before saving.tex slide files: quality_reports/FILENAME_report.md.qmd slide files: quality_reports/FILENAME_qmd_report.mdquality_reports/FILENAME_proofread.mdIMPORTANT: Do NOT edit any source files.
Only produce the report. Fixes are applied separately after user review (see rules/proofreading-protocol.md).
