Proofread Manuscript

Run a comprehensive proofreading review on the specified file. Do NOT edit any source files -- produce a report only.

Steps

Identify target: Use $ARGUMENTS to find the file. If all, scan all .tex files in the paper folder.
Launch proofreader agent following the full protocol from .claude/agents/proofreader.md.
Check five categories:
- GRAMMAR: Subject-verb agreement, articles, prepositions, tense consistency
- TYPOS: Misspellings, search-and-replace artifacts, duplicated words
- OVERFLOW: Overfull hbox in LaTeX, long equations without proper breaks
- CONSISTENCY: Citation format, notation, terminology across sections
- ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, missing words, awkward constructions, claims without citations
Save report to quality_reports/[filename]_report.md with:
- Line number, current text, proposed fix, category, severity for each issue
Present summary: Total issues, severity breakdown, top 3 critical issues.

Important

NEVER edit source files. Report only.
Follow the three-phase protocol in .claude/rules/proofreading-protocol.md.
