Academic Writing Quality Assessor
Audit and refine academic manuscripts for structure, terminology consistency, LaTeX hygiene, and high-signal grammar fixes. Use this skill for theses, papers, proposals, and technical reports when the task is manuscript writing rather than experiment execution.

Academic Writing Quality Assessor
When to use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- check thesis/paper/proposal formatting and manuscript consistency,
- run grammar review with minimal false positives,
- unify terminology, equation/citation style, or figure/table conventions,
- clean LaTeX hygiene issues such as case-mismatched graphics paths, stale chapters, or front-matter drift.
Do not use this skill for slide drafting/refinement; use academic-presentation-crafter or academic-slide-refiner instead.
Scope Boundary
This skill owns manuscript quality assurance and writing-side consistency. It does not own domain experiment execution, paper search, or physical-design conclusions.
Knowledge And Tool Interaction
- Treat the active manuscript source tree as the primary evidence source.
- Use
scripts/common/latex_writing_audit.pybefore large cleanup or when active-file boundaries are unclear. - When the manuscript task also requires shared KB/tool retrieval, delegate lookup to
eda-context-accessor. - Prefer minimal-intrusion edits: fix correctness and consistency first, then style.
- Archive or remove stale chapters/assets only after confirming they are outside the active include/input closure.
Workflow
- Build or inspect the current LaTeX project state.
- Determine the active chapter/input/bibliography/graphics closure.
- Review in this order:
- build blockers and references,
- front matter correctness,
- chapter naming/structure consistency,
- terminology consistency,
- must-fix grammar errors,
- low-risk style cleanup.
- Only after active assets are known, clean stale chapters or duplicate figures.
Operational References
- Load
references/writing-qa-playbook.mdfor the full manuscript QA checklist and review order. - Load
references/thesis-writing-onboarding.mdwhen the task is dissertation/thesis assembly from proposal + papers. - Load
references/scripts/scripts__common__latex_writing_audit.pywhen you need exact behavior of the audit script or want to mirror/patch it.
