Research To Paper Audit

Audit — independent multi-reviewer adversarial review (self-contained)

A draft you wrote and also approve is not reviewed — you share its blind spots. Real review needs independence, so this skill runs three reviewers who cannot see each other's work, then reconciles them. The most common reason a manuscript fails peer review is a claim stronger than its evidence; this audit is built to catch exactly that before a journal does.

Workflow

1. Dispatch three independent reviewers in parallel. Spawn three Agent calls at once, each given ONLY its own

prompt (from references/audit-prompts.md), the draft, AND the scene (journal/conference/report/review/ competition) so structural checks apply to the right form — independence is the whole point, so do not let one reviewer see another's output or a shared summary. The three lenses are deliberately different:

• Reviewer 1 — claim support: is every claim backed by its cited evidence at the stated strength? Are

hedges matched to the evidence (a prediction stays "predicted"; only a measured whole-system result may "confirm")? Does the structure fit the scene — for an IMRaD paper, has interpretation leaked into Results; for a review, does a section march paper-by-paper instead of advancing a position; for a report, is the takeaway buried?

• Reviewer 2 — logic & structure: does each section advance the thesis? Any gaps, non-sequiturs, repetition?

Is this a substantive draft or a shallow/append-only edit?

• Reviewer 3 — citation & evidence integrity: does each citation actually support its sentence (not just

relate topically)? Any misattribution, over-broad citation, or untraceable number?

1. Write the Editor Synthesis. Merge the three reviews into one prioritized list — **blocking / important /

minor**. When reviewers disagree about whether a claim is supported, defer to the stricter one; over-claiming is the costlier error. An unsupported number is always blocking.

1. Fix, then re-run until clean. Apply the fixes (or hand them to the writer), then run the audit again. Do not

declare the draft done while any blocking item is open. One clean round, not one round, is the bar — the point of "多轮" is that fixing one issue often exposes another. If the same blocking item survives two consecutive rounds without real progress, stop looping and escalate it to the user as a contested point (step 4) rather than re-running indefinitely.

1. Report to the user. Show the synthesis and let the user decide on each contested point. The audit informs;

the user has the final say on every claim.

When used inside the full workflow, run this after each draft revision in research-to-paper-write, before the de-AI pass. Standalone, run it on any draft the user brings.
