Proofread Academic Writing

Run the proofreading protocol on papers, slides, notes, or other written content. 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 .tex, .qmd, and .md files in the project

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 section/slide title)
   • Current text (what's wrong)
   • Proposed fix (what it should be)
   • Category and severity

4. Save each report to quality_reports/FILENAME_proofread_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
