Manuscript Disclosure & Submission Readiness Gate Skill
Example session with this skill installed
Please screen my manuscript 'Efficacy of Compound X' for submission to the Journal of Clinical Medicine. I have attached the main text, title page, and the journal's author guidelines PDF.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the manuscript disclosure
The manuscript 'Efficacy of Compound X' has been screened against the Journal of Clinical Medicine (JCM) submission guidelines. Materials reviewed include the Main Text (v2), Title Page, and JCM Author Instructions (updated Oct 2023).
Executive Status: ACTION REQUIRED
Disclosure and Consistency Audit
| ID | Category | Status | Priority | Evidence/Location | Why it Matters | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 001 | Authorship | ACTION_REQUIRED | BLOCKER | Title Page vs. Metadata | Dr. A. Smith is listed on title page but missing from CRediT statement. | Add Dr. Smith to the Author Contributions section. |
| 002 | Ethics | AUTHOR_CONFIRMATION | HIGH | Methods, Para 4 | IRB number (2023-XY) is present but institution name is missing. | Provide the name of the approving Ethics Committee. |
| 003 | Disclosures | READY | INFO | Declarations Section | Funding (Grant #123) matches title page acknowledgments. | No action needed. |
| 004 | AI Use | JOURNAL_RULE_UNVERIFIED | MEDIUM | Main Text | JCM requires specific AI disclosure text if used; none found in text. | Confirm if LLMs were used for writing or data analysis. |
| 005 | Formatting | ACTION_REQUIRED | MEDIUM | Abstract | Current abstract is 310 words; JCM limit is 250 words. | Trim abstract by 60 words to meet journal constraints. |
Cross-File Consistency Findings
- Author List: Mismatch found. Title page lists 4 authors; CRediT statement lists 3 authors.
- Funding: Consistent. Grant ID #123 matches across Cover Letter and Main Text.
Data Availability: The manuscript mentions a Zenodo repository, but the DOI link is currently a placeholder (10.000/placeholder).
Next steps
- Update the Author Contributions section to include Dr. A. Smith.
- Reduce the abstract word count to under 250 words to avoid administrative return.
- Insert the final Zenodo DOI in the Data Availability Statement before uploading to the portal.

About this skill
Manuscripts often get rejected or returned before peer review due to administrative gaps, missing disclosures, or metadata inconsistencies. This skill functions as a pre-submission gate, auditing your research papers against journal-specific requirements and ethics standards to prevent avoidable desk rejections.
What it does
- Authorship Audit identifies mismatches in affiliations, corresponding author details, and CRediT contribution statements across all files.
- Disclosure Mapping verifies the presence and consistency of conflict of interest, funding, and AI-use declarations.
- Ethics Validation flags missing IRB approval identifiers, informed consent statements, and clinical trial registration details.
- Consistency Checking compares data availability statements against manuscript claims to ensure internal alignment.
- Requirement Verification audits the submission package against specific journal word limits, blinded file rules, and reporting checklists.
How it works
- Provide the manuscript text, title page, and the target journal name or its specific author guidelines.
- The agent analyzes the provided documents to map existing declarations and identify missing mandatory sections.
- It performs cross-file verification to ensure names and funding details match between the cover letter and the main text.
- You receive a prioritized report categorizing findings by severity, from informational notes to submission blockers.
Frameworks & tools
This skill utilizes CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) for authorship mapping and standard reporting guidelines like CONSORT or PRISMA when journals require them.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often hallucinate ethics approvals or miss subtle inconsistencies between a cover letter and a supplemental file. This skill uses a strict status hierarchy and an integrity-first logic that refuses to fabricate missing data, ensuring you only submit verified, compliant information.
Use cases
- Screening a draft before final submission to a high-impact journal like Nature or Lancet.
- Auditing a multi-author manuscript for consistent CRediT roles and funding acknowledgments.
- Verifying blinded manuscript files for double-blind peer review compliance.
- Checking clinical trial registration and protocol compliance against journal specificities.
Known limitations
Does not assess scientific merit or predict acceptance. Cannot verify the factual truth of declarations or obtain missing IRB approvals. Journal-specific rules are only verified if guidelines are provided.
Does not assess scientific merit. Cannot verify factual truth of author claims. Journal-specific rules marked NOT_CHECKED if instructions are not provided.
