Scans academic lecture files for grammar, layout overflows, and citation consistency to generate detailed quality reports.

This skill automates the rigorous proofreading protocol for academic lecture materials, specifically targeting LaTeX slides and Quarto files. It acts as a non-destructive auditor, scanning for grammatical errors, typos, layout overflows (like overfull hboxes), and citation inconsistencies. By generating comprehensive markdown reports in a dedicated directory, it allows educators and researchers to review proposed fixes before applying them, ensuring the high academic quality required for professional presentations and publications without risking accidental source file corruption.
