Proofread LaTeX Files

Run the proofreading protocol on LaTeX files. 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 files in the current directory

2. For each file, check for:

   GRAMMAR: Subject-verb agreement, articles (a/an/the), tense consistency (present for established results, past for "we showed") TYPOS: Misspellings, duplicated words, search-and-replace artifacts NOTATION: Consistent use of $\mathbb{F}_p$, $\mathcal{A}$, $\lambda$; variables introduced before use; quantifiers explicit LATEX: Missing ~ before \cite/\ref, \left/\right mismatches, mismatched environments ACADEMIC QUALITY: Informal language, vague claims ("it is clear that..."), missing words

3. Produce a report listing every finding with:

   • Line number
   • Current text
   • Proposed fix
   • Category and severity

4. IMPORTANT: Do NOT edit any source files. Only produce the report.

5. Present summary to the user:

   • Total issues per file
   • Breakdown by category
   • Most critical issues highlighted
