Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Annals of Mathematics manuscript — AMS-LaTeX compile, theorem environments, abstract and MSC, references, arXiv, figures, and portal logistics. Checks readiness; does not assess significance (anmath-scope-fit) or correctness (anmath-referee-strategy).

See it in action
One of 4 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
1 of 4
Prompt
My BibTeX file has 50 entries, but my paper text only cites 42 of them. Is it fine to leave the extra 8 items in the bibliography?
What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked
Without skill
With skill
Requires reconciling in-text citations with bibliography entries so every bib entry is cited.

Pre-Submission Preflight (anmath-submission)
When to trigger
"I'm submitting tomorrow"
Final check before clicking submit on the portal
Unsure what files and metadata the submission system needs
Verify all volatile specifics (portal URL, accepted formats, length expectations, whether
a cover letter is collected) on the journal's official submission page first — these change.
Preflight checklist
TeX and format
Source compiles cleanly with a standard distribution; no errors, no missing refs
AMS environments used (amsthm for theorem/lemma/proposition/definition/remark/proof)
A single, consistent theorem-numbering scheme throughout
All cross-references (\cref/\eqref) resolve; no "??" in the PDF
Submitted PDF is the version produced by the source you will provide on acceptance
Front matter
Title, author(s), affiliations, and contact consistent with portal entries
Abstract present, self-contained, states the Main Theorem in plain terms
MSC subject classification: primary + secondary, matching the headline result
Keywords (if requested) chosen to match the area
Acknowledgments and funding stated as the journal requires
Mathematical content
Main Theorem stated precisely and early (see anmath-results-framing)
Proof complete and gap-free; no unresolved "clearly"/"it is easy to see"
Every external result invoked is published and precisely cited
No essential step rests on an unpublished/unverifiable claim
Computer-assisted steps (if any) documented with archived code/data
Proof-risk pass
Each "standard" argument points to an exact theorem, lemma, or appendix proof
