- ▌ proofread · brycewang-stanfordExpert copy editor for Quarto (.qmd) files. Checks grammar, spelling, punctuation, and academic writing quality. Produces a structured markdown report organized by document section — never modifies the source file. Use when asked to proofread, check grammar, fix typos, or review prose in a .qmd document. For APSA style rules (numbers, citations, capitalization, abbreviations, neutral language), use the apsa-style skill instead. Supports an optional output-file argument and an optional @sec-label argument to restrict checking to one section.
- ▌ apsa-style · brycewang-stanfordAPSA style checker for Quarto (.qmd) files. Checks numbers, capitalization, abbreviations, italics, in-text citations, titles of works, neutral and unbiased language, and APSA-specific terminology against the APSA Style Manual for Political Science (2018, updated 2023). Produces a structured markdown report organized by document section — never modifies the source file. Use when asked to check APSA style, fix citations, review capitalization, check number formatting, or flag biased language in a .qmd document. For grammar, spelling, and punctuation, use the proofread skill instead. Supports an optional output-file argument and an optional @sec-label argument to restrict checking to one section.
- ▌ write-well · brycewang-stanfordProse quality checker for Quarto (.qmd) files, grounded in William Zinsser's *On Writing Well* (30th Anniversary Edition). Checks for clutter, weak verbs, hollow qualifiers, clichés, inflated academic voice, poor leads and endings, pronoun and tense inconsistency, and unclear explanation. Produces a structured markdown report organized by document section — never modifies the source file. Use when asked to improve prose quality, tighten writing, reduce clutter, or apply Zinsser's writing principles to a draft. For grammar and punctuation, use the proofread skill. For APSA style rules, use the apsa-style skill. Supports an optional output-file argument and an optional @sec-label argument to restrict checking to one section.
- ▌ pseudo-merge · brycewang-stanfordTakes a proofread or apsa-style report file (or any markdown file using **Original:** / **Recommended:** syntax) and rewrites the original source file with git merge conflict markers so the user can accept or reject each suggested edit using VS Code or Positron's built-in merge conflict UI. Branch names are "original" and "claude-edits". Use when asked to apply edits, insert conflict markers, or set up merge resolution for a copy-edit report. Supports an optional @sec-label argument to restrict markers to one section.
- ▌ quarto-clean · brycewang-stanfordCleans a Quarto (.qmd) file by replacing LaTeX holdovers with proper Quarto/Pandoc syntax so the document renders correctly to HTML, PDF (Typst/LaTeX), and Word. Fixes citations (\citep → [@key]), cross-references (\ref → @label), figures (\includegraphics → markdown), tables, text formatting (\textbf → **bold**), inline math (\( \) → $ $), hyperlinks (\href → [text](url)), footnotes (\footnote → ^[]), list environments, section headings, and R Markdown chunk options (dot-style → #| YAML). Use when asked to clean, fix, modernize, or port a Quarto or R Markdown document; when LaTeX commands appear in a .qmd file; when a document fails to render to Word or Typst; or when citations/cross-references do not appear in non-LaTeX output.
