What it does

Mechanize Pattern 15, the seven-pass adversarial review protocol for academic manuscripts. Spawns 7 fresh-context subagents in parallel (abstract, intro, methods, results, robustness, prose, citations), then synthesizes a prioritized revision checklist. Use for submission-ready or R&R-stage papers where single-pass review isn't enough.

Seven-Pass Adversarial Review

Runs seven independent reviewers, each focused on a single lens, then synthesizes their findings into one prioritized revision plan, the fan-out → reduce → judge runtime from orchestrator-protocol.md, applied with seven lenses.

Why seven passes? A single-agent review blends lenses and softens each one. Seven forked agents each approach the paper with full context budget for their own lens, then a synthesizer resolves conflicts and de-duplicates.

When to pick this over /review-paper: It runs seven forked reviewers plus a synthesizer, so it costs several times a single-pass /review-paper. Use it when the paper is submission-ready or at R&R stage and you need maximum lens coverage. For early drafts or iterative work, /review-paper is the right tool. For journal-simulation pressure test, use /review-paper --peer <journal> instead.

Inputs

  • $0, manuscript path (.tex, .qmd, .md, or .pdf). Required.

The Seven Lenses

Each lens runs as its own subagent in a fresh context (never a conversation fork) so the main conversation stays clean and no lens sees another's findings.
