description	Pre-submission checks, bibliography verification, and peer-review responses. Use when the manuscript nears submission, when verifying references, or when responding to reviewers.

Submission

When the manuscript is nearing submission

1. Copy templates/submission-checklist.md to the project root as submission-checklist.md
2. Work through it top to bottom with the user, checking items off in the file
3. make verify-bib — verifies every references.bib entry (authors, given names, year, title) against Crossref/arXiv. Fix every ✗ against the published record; manually check every ? (books, workshop papers) and ⚠ (author-name variants)
4. Grounding pass: for every example, quote, and statistic in the manuscript, open the underlying source file and confirm it matches verbatim
5. Claims pass: search for "prove", "demonstrate", "show that", "establish" — downgrade to "suggest"/"indicate" where evidence is correlational or ablation-based
6. Run make lint, make grammar, make readability; build with make pdf and read the whole PDF at print size (figures especially)
7. After submitting: record venue, date, and version in progress.md; tag the snapshot git tag submitted-<venue>-<date>

Verifying a single source's standing

• make verify DOI="..." — has the paper been supported or contradicted? (optional tool: needs a paid scite.ai account; if missing, check the paper's citations manually on scite.ai or Semantic Scholar)
• Report supported/contradicted/mixed; suggest alternatives if disputed

Responding to peer review

1. Copy templates/peer-review-response.md into manuscript/
2. Fill in responses point by point with the user — quote each reviewer comment, state the change made, cite where in the manuscript
3. make diff OLD="<submitted version>" NEW="manuscript/main.md" — track-changes PDF for the resubmission
4. Record the revision round in progress.md

Repo hygiene for published papers

• Replace the scaffold README with a paper-specific one: key finding, repo structure, reproduction steps, dataset table
• Confirm the code-availability link works from a fresh clone
