| description | Mechanize Pattern 15 — the seven-pass adversarial review protocol for academic manuscripts. Spawns 7 forked subagents in parallel (abstract, intro, methods, results, robustness, prose, citations), then synthesizes a prioritized revision checklist. Use for submission-ready or R&R-stage papers where single-pass review isn't enough. |

Seven-Pass Adversarial Review
Runs seven independent reviewers, each focused on a single lens, then synthesizes their findings into one prioritized revision plan. Pattern 15 from the workflow guide, mechanized.
Why seven passes? A single-agent review blends lenses and softens each one. Seven forked agents each approach the paper with full context budget for their own lens, then a synthesizer resolves conflicts and de-duplicates.
When to pick this over /review-paper: This skill costs roughly 7× more tokens than /review-paper (default) and ~2× more than /review-paper --adversarial. Use it when the paper is submission-ready or at R&R stage and you need maximum lens coverage. For early drafts or iterative work, is the right tool. For journal-simulation pressure test, use instead.
