Audit academic manuscripts for typographic design conventions: booktabs table style, caption placement, dashes/quotes, units and numbers, cross-reference style, page layout, typographic hierarchy, professional polish. Triggers on: "check typography", "fix formatting", "polish my paper", "check my LaTeX", "typographic review", "make it look professional", "check tables", "fix captions". Companion to manuscript-review (content) and arxiv-preflight (compliance).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Manuscript Typography Audit **Pipeline position:** Phase 2b (polish audit). Runs in parallel with manuscript-provenance. Depends on: content settled after Phase 1 fixes. See `/manuscript-pipeline` for full execution order. ## Purpose Audit a LaTeX manuscript for widely-accepted academic typographic conventions that directly affect readability and professional appearance. These are not venue-specific formatting rules — they are cross-venue norms from decades of academic publishing that experienced readers and reviewers notice. A paper with solid content but poor typography signals inexperience. Reviewers form impressions from visual presentation before reading a single sentence. ## Relationship to Other Skills | Concern | manuscript-review | manuscript-typography (this) | arxiv-preflight | |---------|-------------------|------------------------------|-----------------| | Table content | Data quality, significant figures (§12) | Design: booktabs, alignment, headers, caption placement | Format compliance | | Figure content | Colorblind, axis labels, chartjunk (§12) | Design: font matching, backgrounds, subfigure style | Format/size compliance | …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/manuscript-typography@sha256:38fd033e0fbdaa7bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
