What it does

Comprehensive manuscript review with three modes: single-pass (default), --adversarial critic-fixer loop, and --peer [journal] simulated peer-review pipeline (editor + 2 dispositioned referees + editorial decision, calibrated to a target journal). R&R continuation via --peer --r2/--r3; hostile-editor stress test via --peer --stress; reviewer-disposition variance reporting via --peer --variance N. Auto-invokes /review-r + /audit-reproducibility on referenced scripts unless --no-cross-artifact.

Manuscript Review

Produce a thorough, constructive review of an academic manuscript, the kind of report a top-journal referee would write.

Which review skill do I want?

  • /review-paper (this skill), single comprehensive report, optional --adversarial critic-fixer loop, or --peer <journal> simulated peer-review pipeline. Best for most drafts.
  • /seven-pass-review, seven independent lenses in parallel (abstract, intro, methods, results, robustness, prose, citations) then synthesized. Heavier (7× token cost). Best for submission-ready drafts or R&R stage where you need maximum coverage.
  • /respond-to-referees, if you already have referee comments and need a response document, not another review.
  • /slide-excellence, for lecture slides, not papers.

Input: $ARGUMENTS, path to a paper (.tex, .pdf, or .qmd), or a filename in master_supporting_docs/. Optional flags:

  • --adversarial, critic-fixer loop until dry (2 consecutive dry rounds; fallback cap 5).
  • --peer <JOURNAL>, simulated peer review pipeline calibrated to <JOURNAL> (see .claude/references/journal-profiles.md for available short names).
  • --r2 / --r3, R&R continuation mode (requires --peer). Reloads prior round, classifies concerns Resolved / Partial / Not addressed.
  • --stress, hostile-editor stress test (requires --peer). Forces SKEPTIC dispositions, doubles critical peeves.
  • --variance (followed by integer N, default 3), reviewer-disposition variance mode (requires --peer). Runs N referees with independently sampled dispositions from the 6-way taxonomy. Editor aggregates into a decision distribution, not a point estimate. Mutually exclusive with --stress and --r2/--r3.
  • --no-novelty-check, skip editor's WebSearch novelty probe (default is ON).
  • --no-cross-artifact, skip auto-invocation of /review-r + /audit-reproducibility on referenced scripts.
