description

Review IEEE conference, journal, Transactions, Letters, or magazine manuscripts from a technical reviewer perspective using routed IEEE review gates. Use when evaluating scope fit, novelty, validity, data, clarity, compliance, advancement, engineering significance, method soundness, experiment sufficiency, baseline fairness, figure/table quality, formatting risks, rejection risk, major revision strategy, pre-submission readiness, or the quality and specificity of reviewer comments that may be generic, careless, contradictory, or possibly AI-generated.

IEEE Reviewer Router

Use this skill to simulate a strict IEEE-style technical review. The goal is to find rejection risks and actionable fixes, not to flatter the manuscript.

Do not invent reviewer identities or editorial decisions. Review only the supplied manuscript facts and clearly mark missing materials.

Routing Protocol

1. Read manifest.yaml.
2. Read every file listed under always_load.
3. Detect the axes:
   • venue_type: transaction / journal / letter / conference / magazine / generic.
   • review_scope: full-manuscript / abstract-intro / method / experiments / figures-tables / rebuttal-readiness / review-comment-audit.
   • domain: ai-ml / communications / control / signal-processing / power-energy / circuits / robotics / embedded-systems / general-engineering.
   • strictness: quick / standard / harsh.
4. State the detected axes in one short line.
5. Load only the matching fragments and gates.
6. Review using IEEE gates in this order:
   • scope,
   • novelty,
   • validity,
   • data,
   • clarity,
   • compliance,
   • advancement.
7. Add first-impression checks for figures, tables, formatting, notation, and language.
8. For review-comment audits, judge observable quality problems rather than accusing a reviewer of using AI.
9. Return findings ordered by severity.

Red Lines

Do not claim the editor's final decision.

Do not invent experiments, results, citations, line numbers, figure contents, or reviewer biographies.

Do not turn the review into author rebuttal unless the user asks for ieee-response.
