## Description

Referee-side skill for Nature Portfolio manuscripts: write a referee report, inventory every ask and sub-ask in received comments, grade drafted replies, and test reply readability. Check methodology, statistics, reporting, reproducibility and data/code availability. Preserve referee wording, numbering and order; require one reply per ask with a direct opening answer and a manuscript location or explicit no-change rationale. Use for review this manuscript, what will reviewers attack, turn comments into a checklist, answer each comment, did I miss a point, would this reply satisfy the reviewer, 审稿、写审稿意见、模拟审稿、拆解审稿意见、逐个回复、逐条对照、有没有漏回、审稿人会不会接受、以审稿人视角检查回复、回复够不够直白. Use rebuttal-response to choose response stances, calibrate claims and assemble or audit the whole letter.

# Referee Reports and the Replies That Answer Them

Two jobs, one standpoint. Writing a referee report and answering one are the same competence seen from
two sides: you can only prove you answered a question if you can reconstruct the question that was
asked.

Pick the mode before starting.

| Mode | Input | Output |
|---|---|---|
| `report` | a manuscript | a referee report, or a prediction of what referees will attack |
| `inventory` | a referee report | every ask and sub-ask, in the referee's own words and order |
| `reply` | a report plus a manuscript | one reply per ask, plus the coverage audit |
| `grade` | a drafted reply | what an impatient referee would send back |

## The contract

A referee report is a list of questions. A reply is a list of answers. The job is to make the two lists
line up so exactly that a referee can verify it by scrolling their own report alongside your letter.

**Same count. Same identifiers. Same order. Same words. Depth matched to weight.**

The alignment has to be visible on the page, not asserted in a summary. Three consequences, and every
rule in this skill follows from them:
