# Proofread Lecture Files

Run the mandatory proofreading protocol on lecture files. This produces a report of all issues found WITHOUT editing any source files.

## Steps

1. **Identify files to review:**

- If `$ARGUMENTS` is a specific filename: review that file only

- If `$ARGUMENTS` is "all": review all lecture files in `Slides/` and `Quarto/`

2. **For each file, launch the proofreader agent** that checks for:

**GRAMMAR:** Subject-verb agreement, articles (a/an/the), prepositions, tense consistency

**TYPOS:** Misspellings, search-and-replace artifacts, duplicated words

**OVERFLOW:** Overfull hbox (LaTeX), content exceeding slide boundaries (Quarto)

**CONSISTENCY:** Citation format, notation, terminology

**ACADEMIC QUALITY:** Informal language, missing words, awkward constructions

3. **Produce a detailed report** for each file listing every finding with:

- Location (line number or slide title)

- Current text (what's wrong)

- Proposed fix (what it should be)

- Category and severity

4. **Save each report** to `quality_reports/`:

- For `.tex` files: `quality_reports/FILENAME_report.md`

- For `.qmd` files: `quality_reports/FILENAME_qmd_report.md`

5. **IMPORTANT: Do NOT edit any source files.**

Only produce the report. Fixes are applied separately after user review.

6. **Present summary** to the user:

- Total issues found per file

- Breakdown by category

- Most critical issues highlighted
