Example session with this skill installed
Please review my manuscript 'Effects of Compound X on Neural Plasticity' for submission to the Journal of Neuroscience as a Research Article. I've attached the main text and cover letter.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the manuscript submission readiness
I have completed the pre-submission audit for 'Effects of Compound X on Neural Plasticity'. The review identified 2 blockers and 3 high-priority consistency issues regarding the reference list and author affiliations.
Overall Result: ACTION REQUIRED
Submission Readiness Report
| ID | Category | Status | Priority | Evidence/Location | Why it matters | Recommended Action | Source |

About this skill
Manuscripts are often rejected for administrative errors, inconsistent citations, or missing declarations before a peer reviewer even sees them. This skill performs a rigorous pre-submission audit to catch these friction points. It functions as a professional editorial pass, ensuring your submission package aligns with journal-specific guidelines and internal logic.
What it does
- Inventory validation identifies missing figures, tables, supplementary files, or required reporting checklists.
- Journal alignment cross-references the manuscript against specific journal instructions for word counts, section headings, and blinded review rules.
- Citation auditing maps every in-text citation to the reference list to find orphans, duplicates, or malformed DOIs.
- Consistency checking flags discrepancies in author lists, affiliations, and funding statements across the cover letter, title page, and main text.
- Ethics screening reviews the presence of required declarations for data availability, conflicts of interest, and IRB approvals.
How it works
- Scope definition where you provide the manuscript files and the target journal name or author guidelines.
- Requirement verification where the agent identifies specific article-type limits and mandatory submission components.
- Structured analysis covering six distinct stages from structural presentation to cross-document consistency.
- Issue classification using a standardized priority system from
BLOCKERtoINFO.
Frameworks & tools
This skill is designed for researchers and editorial assistants working with LaTeX, Markdown, or docx-extracted text. It follows standard publishing industry workflows for academic and clinical research submissions.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often hallucinate journal rules or miss deep citation mismatches. This skill uses a multi-stage audit logic that forces an inventory check and explicit verification of every claim against the provided documents.
Use cases
- Auditing a high-stakes clinical trial manuscript for CONSORT compliance and ethics statements.
- Ensuring a blinded manuscript is truly anonymized before submitting to a double-blind journal.
- Cleaning up a reference list after a major revision to ensure citation numbering remains intact.
Known limitations
Does not perform scientific, statistical, or legal review. Cannot verify the physical resolution of image files or the authenticity of external references unless tools are provided.
Cannot verify scientific accuracy, image resolution, or external reference authenticity. Requires user-supplied journal guidelines for specific compliance checks.
