When to use it

Prepare evidence-bounded, constructive peer-review drafts and structured manuscript assessments. Use for authorized review of scientific manuscripts, protocols, preprints, or research proposals; reporting-guideline selection; claim–evidence checks; methods, statistics, reproducibility, ethics, figure/table, and citation critique; or revision-response planning.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “I’ve been invited to review a Nature Communications manuscript on single-cell atlas integration. Can you help me draft my referee report?”
  • “I’m a reviewer for BMJ Open and have the editor’s invitation. The paper is a stratified cluster RCT of a school-based vaccination reminder (manuscript_v1.docx and supplement S1.pdf are saved locally). The abstract says the intervention ‘reduced HPV vaccine hesitancy by 30%’, but the primary outcome in the registry entry looks like uptake. Help me work out which reporting guideline applies and whether the claims match the evidence. I don’t want anything uploaded anywhere.”
  • “Our grant resubmission got three reviewer reports back and I have to write the rebuttal. Reviewer 2 says our mixed-effects model ignores clustering by site and wants a sensitivity analysis. Help me plan how to respond to each comment point by point.”
