A ready-to-fork Claude Code template for academics using LaTeX/Beamer + R. Multi-agent review, quality gates, adversarial QA, and replication protocols.
Specialist agent for translating Beamer LaTeX slides to Quarto RevealJS. Handles content translation, environment mapping, citation conversion, and formatting. Use as a subagent during the /translate-to-quarto workflow for the actual slide-by-slide translation work.
Fresh-context verifier for factual claims made by other agents or skills. Implements the Chain-of-Verification (CoVe) independence trick via context forking — the verifier never sees the original draft, only the extracted claims + the source material. Use when a skill has produced a draft that contains citations…
Substantive referee for a manuscript. Reviews contribution, literature positioning, substantive argument, external validity, and journal fit. Calibrated to a target journal and primed with a disposition + pet peeves by the editor agent. Used by /review-paper --peer.
Substantive domain review for lecture slides. Template agent — customize the 5 review lenses for your field. Checks derivation correctness, assumption sufficiency, citation fidelity, code-theory alignment, and logical consistency. Use after content is drafted or before teaching.
Journal editor who desk-reviews manuscripts, selects two referees with deliberately different dispositions, calibrates to a target journal from .claude/references/journal-profiles.md, and synthesizes an editorial decision (FATAL / ADDRESSABLE / TASTE). Used by /review-paper --peer [journal].
Read-only auditor for AI-voice tells in academic prose. Reviews .tex, .qmd, .md files for the 10 detection categories defined in /humanize (boilerplate transitions, AI-cliché lexicon, em-dash overuse, symmetric paragraph shapes, tricolon abuse, hedging stacking, "not only X but also Y" frames, formulaic openers…
Methodology referee for a manuscript. Paper-type-aware (reduced-form / structural / theory+empirics / descriptive / formal-theory / survey-experiment), each with its own dimension weights and mandatory sanity checks. Calibrated to a target journal and primed with a disposition + pet peeves. Used by /review-paper…
Holistic pedagogical review for academic slides. Checks narrative arc, prerequisite assumptions, worked examples, notation clarity, and deck-level pacing. Use after content is drafted.
Five-critic council that votes YES/NO on whether candidate [LEARN] entries should be promoted from /.claude/projects/ /memory/ (gitignored) to MEMORY.md (committed). Each critic reviews one dimension — generality, staleness, redundancy, evidence, format — in an isolated forked context. Invoked by /promote-memory.
Expert proofreading agent for academic lecture slides. Reviews for grammar, typos, overflow, and consistency. Use proactively after creating or modifying lecture content.
Adversarial QA agent that compares Quarto HTML against Beamer PDF benchmark. Produces harsh, actionable criticism. Does NOT edit files — read-only analysis only.
Implements fixes from the quarto-critic agent. Applies changes to QMD files, re-renders slides, and verifies fixes. Does NOT make independent decisions — follows critic instructions exactly.
R package source reviewer. Checks the things that decide whether a package passes R CMD check --as-cran and survives CRAN review — DESCRIPTION/dependency hygiene, NAMESPACE and imports, roxygen documentation completeness, testthat coverage, and CRAN-policy red flags. Use after writing or modifying package source (R/…
R code reviewer for academic scripts. Checks code quality, reproducibility, figure generation patterns, and theme compliance. Use after writing or modifying R scripts.
Monte Carlo simulation reviewer. Checks the parts of a simulation study that general R review misses — the assumption regime a run is in, DGP/estimand alignment, replication budget and Monte Carlo standard error, coverage computed against the truth, parallel-seed discipline, and whether headline simulation claims…
Visual layout auditor for RevealJS and Beamer slides. Checks for overflow, font consistency, box fatigue, and spacing issues. Use proactively after creating or modifying slides.
Harsh devil's advocate reviewer for TikZ diagrams. Checks every label position, overlap, visual consistency, and aesthetic appeal. Use after creating or modifying any TikZ code. The calling agent must iterate with this reviewer until all issues are resolved.
