Use when AI-assisted thesis edits risk claim drift, scope creep, loss of author control, or repeated revisions that fail to converge; provides spine cards, edit contracts, drift audits, revision escalation, and human gates.
Stop repeated failed writing, coding, manuscript, rebuttal, or restructuring revisions when the same issue has gone through 3+ unsatisfactory edits, vague feedback such as still wrong/weird/unclear/weak/越改越乱, version contamination, or possible gap/claim/evidence/venue-fit drift.
Build and audit the manuscript argument system: intent, gap-contribution alignment, hierarchical claims, evidence balance, limitations, and reviewer attack surfaces. Use when a paper, thesis chapter, review article, or rebuttal needs explicit intent registers, contribution chains, claim hierarchy, argument maps, evidence-fit checks, or reviewer-risk matrices before drafting, revision, peer review, or self-review.
Review another author's manuscript, paper, thesis chapter, proposal, or preprint as an external reviewer. Use when asked to evaluate novelty, significance, gap-contribution fit, claim-evidence adequacy, methods, evaluation, overclaim risks, structure, writing, required revisions, or recommendation without rewriting the manuscript or using private author context.
Review the user's own manuscript, paper, thesis chapter, rebuttal, or release packet with clean-room anti-contamination controls. Use when asked for self-review, internal review, pre-submission review, readiness check, reviewer simulation on own work, or claim-evidence self-audit where prior chat memory, unstated assumptions, model background knowledge, or unlisted local notes must not be treated as evidence.
Reframe academic manuscript drafts that read like engineering reports, module inventories, internal validation packets, or system notes into paper-form scientific arguments with clear gap, contribution chain, results narrative, figure/table roles, AI-assisted component boundaries, and submission-readiness blockers.

Display a comprehensive dashboard of reading and writing progress: source counts by status, chapter word counts versus targets, and coverage gaps. Use to get a quick overview of the thesis project state.
This skill activates on: progress, dashboard, status, how far, /progress.
Count reading notes by status. Scan all *_NOTES.md files in literature/reading_notes/ using Glob. For each file, extract the Status field and tally counts for reading, completed, and integrated.
Count chapter word counts. For each file in chapters/, count words (split on whitespace, exclude Markdown syntax markers like #, |, ---). Compare against target word counts if a configuration file or chapter metadata specifies them. If no target is specified, use 5,000 words per chapter as the default.
Calculate coverage per chapter. Use the same logic as /map -- count how many sources are mapped to each chapter via the Relevance and Thesis Connections fields in notes files.
Output the dashboard.
## Progress Dashboard -- {YYYY-MM-DD}
### Reading: {completed + integrated}/{total} sources completed
| Status | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Reading | {N} |
| Completed | {N} |
| Integrated | {N} |
| **Total** | **{N}** |
### Writing: {total_words}/{target_words} words ({pct}%)
| Chapter | Title | Words | Target | % | Status |
|---------|-------|-------|--------|---|--------|
| Ch1 | {title} | {N} | {N} | {N}% | Draft / Complete / Over target |
| Ch2 | {title} | {N} | {N} | {N}% | Draft / Complete / Over target |
| ... | | | | | |
| **Total** | | **{N}** | **{N}** | **{N}%** | |
### Coverage Gaps
| Chapter | Mapped Sources | Minimum | Status |
|---------|---------------|---------|--------|
| Ch1 | {N} | 3 | OK / Under-covered |
### Alerts
- {Any chapters over 150% of target word count}
- {Any chapters with 0 mapped sources}
- {Any notes files stuck in "reading" status for more than indicated period}
