Adversarial Proofreading Loop

Run the proofreader (critic) and manuscript-fixer pair in an adversarial loop on a .tex file.

Input: $ARGUMENTS — path to a .tex file, or "all" for all manuscript files.

Steps

1. Identify target file(s):

   • If $ARGUMENTS is a specific file: use it
   • If $ARGUMENTS is "all": process each .tex file in manuscript/
   • If not specified: default to manuscript/main.tex

2. Run the adversarial loop (per file):

   ROUND = 1
   while ROUND <= 5:
   

   a. Launch the proofreader agent on the target file.

   • Agent produces a report at quality_reports/[FILENAME]_report.md
   • Report lists issues by category (Grammar, Typo, Overflow, Consistency, Academic Quality) and severity (High, Medium, Low)

   b. Check verdict:

   • If zero High-severity issues: APPROVED — break the loop
   • Otherwise: NEEDS_REVISION — continue

   c. Present fixes to user for approval (interactive mode):

   • Group proposed fixes by category
   • Highlight High-severity items that need human judgment
   • Wait for user to approve all, approve selectively, or reject

   d. Launch the manuscript-fixer agent with:

   • The proofreader report path
   • The target file path
   • Mode: interactive
   • Agent applies only approved fixes
   • Agent logs to quality_reports/[FILENAME]_manuscript_fixes_roundN.md

   e. Increment ROUND

3. Compile the manuscript to verify no new errors:

   cd manuscript && latexmk -pdf main.tex
   

4. Present summary:

   • Number of rounds taken
   • Fixes applied (count by category)
   • Issues deferred to user
   • Compilation result (PASS/FAIL)
   • If max rounds reached: remaining issues

Important

• The proofreader agent does NOT edit files — it only produces a report
• The manuscript-fixer respects the 3-phase proofreading protocol
• In interactive mode: user approves before each fix round
• The fixer NEVER changes sentence meaning, research claims, or equation content
• Maximum 5 rounds per file
