# paper-revision

Turns reviewer comments into concrete edits: each concern is tied to a section of the paper, then fixed. Handy once peer review comes back with revision requests.

## What it does

Point it at the reviewer comments and your draft, either `main.tex` or the paper directory. The skill pulls out each individual concern, tags it as a major or minor revision, a question or a suggestion, and works out which sections it touches. Major concerns get handled first.

The output is a plan shaped like concern → section → action → new text or experiment. Actions range from a clearer rewrite to a missing experiment, an added ablation or statistical test, a restructure, or a citation. Edits stay local, so the surrounding structure survives. Any new number has to come from a run, not from the model's imagination, and revised text is flagged with `\textcolor{blue}{...}` so reviewers can find it.

Afterwards the skill re-checks the paper through self-review: are all concerns answered, did anything break, does the page count still satisfy the venue. A change summary follows, with every edit cross-referenced to the concern it resolves. Missing figures and tables get routed to the figure-generation and table-generation skills. Keep the pre-revision copy around, since the skill compares scores against it. Invented results are the one thing it cannot do—reviewers check.
