Use when asked to proofread, polish, or critique the writing of an academic paper from its LaTeX sources — grammar and mechanics, sentence clarity and style, paragraph flow, terminology and framing — and deliver the proposals as coloured track changes with margin comments plus a numbered writing report. Triggers on "proofread the writing", "polish the prose", "check the style of my draft", "why does this read oddly", "odd formulations", or as phase 7b of reviewing-paper-sources.
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
# Proofreading Paper Writing ## Overview A critical reader for the prose of an ML paper. It judges each sentence, paragraph and framing choice against a **field profile** (what well-written papers at the venue do) and phrases fixes in the **author profile** (how these authors write when they write well). Field decides what is a defect; author decides the wording of the fix. Proposals become a second `changes.sty` author, `LG`, in dark green, next to the blue science author `CL` that `reviewing-paper-sources` uses, so a reader sees at a glance which marks are about the science and which about the writing. Four levels, tiered in the PDF: **mechanics** as bare track changes, **style** as track changes with a `W<n>` margin tag, **flow** and **framing** as margin comments only. Every `W<n>` is an entry in `writing-report.md`. ## Inputs and outputs Input: a paper directory with a compiling `main.tex` (or the pdfshim pseudo-source), optionally an existing `main-annotated.tex` from the reviewer. Outputs, all in the paper directory, none committed: | File | Content | |---|---| | `main-annotated.tex` / `.pdf` | existing `CL` markup plus `LG` markup | …

How to install
mdr add chgagne/claude-skills-research/proofreading-paper-writing@sha256:ed1136433f2d2c28The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.2091ec8, 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.
