Use when asked to review, critique, or assess an academic paper from its LaTeX sources — including pre-submission critique of a student's or collaborator's draft, or a referee report for a venue. Also when the only artifact is a blind PDF with no sources.…
Use when checking the mathematics of a paper rather than its claims — verifying a theorem's proof, an algebraic derivation, a bound, or an appendix full of lemmas. Triggers on "check this proof", "verify the derivation", "is Lemma 3 correct", "does the…
Use when finding related work a draft may have missed, checking whether a contribution has already been published, or mapping what a research area looks like. Triggers on "what related work did we miss", "has this been done before", "is our contribution…
Use when working with a researcher on a long-running research project across many sessions — opening or closing a session, choosing a direction, method or scope, deciding whether to ask or act, planning what to run next, or writing up a result. Also when a…
Use when checking a .bib or reference list for incorrect or fabricated entries — wrong titles, invented co-authors, wrong DOI/volume/pages, preprints cited instead of the published venue, or references that do not exist. Triggers on "verify this…
Use when a proof or derivation needs to be made explicit step by step — expanding a paper's algebra for a reader without formal mathematical training, producing a worked companion document, or establishing whether a derivation can be justified at all.…
Use when working on a Digital Research Alliance of Canada (DRAC, Alliance, formerly Compute Canada) HPC cluster such as Narval, Rorqual, Fir, TamIA, Killarney, Vulcan, Nibi or Trillium — including ssh to *.alliancecan.ca failing with "Permission denied…
Use when planning, budgeting, submitting or resuming a multi-job experiment campaign on a Slurm/HPC cluster — sizing walltime, shaping jobs and arrays, deciding what to submit first, or after a job hit its walltime, produced no results, silently ran the wrong…
