Proofread a thesis chapter or paper against a checklist of the errors examiners and reviewers actually flag: structure and signposting, undefined acronyms, notation and terminology consistency, figure and table references, numbers and statistics reporting (n, variance, p, effect sizes), citation placement, tense and voice by section, and mechanical issues, producing a findings list with locations and fixes rather than a rewritten file. Use before sending a draft to a supervisor, before…
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
Read as the examiner reads, with a pen. This skill produces findings, not a rewrite: the student stays the author, and every change is theirs to make. Report locations as `file:line` (or section and paragraph for Word exports).
## Pass 1: structure
- Does the introduction state the research questions verbatim, and does the conclusion answer each in order?
- Does every chapter open with what it covers and close with what it established?
- Read only the first sentence of every paragraph: is it the claim? Does the sequence make an argument?
- Are headings parallel in form and specific (not "Results" for three chapters in a row)?
- Is anything promised ("Section 4.3 discusses") that does not exist?
## Pass 2: consistency
- **Terms**: one name per concept. Build the list as you read; flag every synonym pair ("model" and "system" for the same thing) with both locations.
- **Acronyms**: defined at first use, then used consistently; not defined twice; not defined in the abstract and never used again. List every acronym with its first definition.
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/proofread-academic@sha256:f813bf547a3c218cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.2dcedee, 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.
