Automates pre-submission audits for academic manuscripts, ensuring word counts, anonymization, and citations meet journal standards.

Designed for researchers and academics, the Submission Prep skill streamlines the final review phase of journal manuscript preparation. It performs comprehensive checks on Quarto (.qmd) documents, including section-by-section word counts, double-blind anonymization scanning, and citation-to-bibliography cross-referencing. By identifying missing references, orphan placeholders, and broken cross-references before submission, it helps ensure professional quality and reduces the risk of desk rejection for formatting or compliance errors.
