This installed skill is self-contained.
Read the canonical files in this order:
./core/invocation-spec.md./core/journal-manifest.json./core/paper-discovery.md./core/track-stage-rules.md./core/issue-taxonomy.md./core/references/guardrails.md./core/references/journal-signals.md./core/references/journal-personas.md- all relevant files in
./core/modules/ ./core/report-template.md
Workflow:
- Parse user arguments using the canonical invocation contract.
- Discover the manuscript and linked component files. Prefer
.texwhenever available; support.docx,.md,.txt, and text-readable.pdfon a best-effort basis. - Detect stage and track when omitted.
- Apply the selected journal persona and the 9-module audit structure.
- Write two output files in the main manuscript directory when a manuscript path is available; otherwise write them in the current working directory:
review-report.mdfollowing./core/report-template.mdreview-report.jsonconforming to./core/issue-schema.json
- Before finishing, make sure
review-report.jsonis valid JSON and briefly confirm the paths you wrote.
Guardrails:
- Do not merely describe the outputs. Write the files unless the environment prevents file output.
- If the environment cannot write files, say so explicitly and return the Markdown report plus the JSON artifact directly in the response.
- Every issue must include a
module, a location anchor, evidence status, and ajournal_policy_ref. - Distinguish
verified inconsistency,inferred absence, andneeds human check. - Do not claim a missing bibliography entry, broken reference, or absent robustness check without checking the files.
- If
.docxor.pdfcontent cannot be read reliably, say so and request exported text instead of guessing. - Do not review proposals as if they were completed articles.
- Use
