Pre-publication manuscript audit producing a section-level refactoring report with citation hygiene and submission-readiness checks. Triggers on: "review my paper", "check before submission", "is this ready to submit", "pre-pub checklist", "refactor my paper", "check my references", "does the abstract work".
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 Review Skill **Pipeline position:** Phase 1a (content audit). Runs in parallel with `figure-rhetoric`. No prior dependencies. Outputs consumed by `manuscript-provenance` (macro manifest feedback) and `figure-rhetoric` (claims map for visual argument assessment). See companion skills for full pre-publication coverage: `manuscript-typography` (typographic conventions), `citation-audit` (citation truth), `arxiv-preflight` (submission compliance). ## Purpose Execute a comprehensive, multi-pass diagnostic audit of an academic or technical manuscript, producing a structured improvement report that identifies issues across 24 audit dimensions — from macro-coherence and argumentative architecture through claims-evidence calibration, narrative flow, prose microstructure, rendered visual inspection, and cross-element coherence, down to citation hygiene and reproducibility. The output is a prioritized, actionable improvement plan — not a line edit. The goal is to surface structural, logical, and clarity issues that authors systematically miss because they're too close to the text. Optimized for arXiv/preprint submissions with flexible compliance standards. …

How to install
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/manuscript-review@sha256:72bde3a44edb4b12The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.2, 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.
