Prompt

We want to run an automated sanity-check review on our compiled main paper text before submission. Which secondary agent model and reasoning effort should be spawned for section review?

What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked	Without skill	With skill

Paper Write: Section-by-Section LaTeX Generation

Draft a LaTeX paper based on: $ARGUMENTS

Constants

REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.4 — Model used via a secondary Codex agent for section review. Must be an OpenAI model.
TARGET_VENUE = ICLR — Default venue. Supported: ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR (also ICCV/ECCV), ACL (also EMNLP/NAACL), AAAI, ACM (ACM MM, SIGIR, KDD, CHI, etc.), IEEE_JOURNAL (IEEE Transactions / Letters, e.g., T-PAMI, JSAC, TWC, TCOM, TSP, TIP), IEEE_CONF (IEEE conferences, e.g., ICC, GLOBECOM, INFOCOM, ICASSP). Determines style file and formatting.
ANONYMOUS = true — If true, use anonymous author block. Set false for camera-ready. Note: most IEEE venues do NOT use anonymous submission — set false for IEEE.
MAX_PAGES = 9 — Main body page limit. For ML conferences: counts from first page to end of Conclusion section, references and appendix NOT counted. For IEEE venues: references ARE counted toward the page limit. Typical limits: IEEE journal = no strict limit (but 12-14 pages typical for Transactions, 4-5 for Letters), IEEE conference = 5-8 pages including references.
DBLP_BIBTEX = true — Fetch real BibTeX from DBLP/CrossRef instead of LLM-generated entries. Eliminates hallucinated citations. Zero install required. Set false to use legacy behavior (LLM search + [VERIFY] markers).

Inputs

PAPER_PLAN.md — outline with claims-evidence matrix, section plan, figure plan (from /paper-plan)
NARRATIVE_REPORT.md — the research narrative (primary source of content)
Generated figures — PDF/PNG files in figures/ (from /paper-figure)
LaTeX includes — figures/latex_includes.tex (from /paper-figure)
Bibliography — existing .bib file, or will create one

If no PAPER_PLAN.md exists, ask the user to run /paper-plan first or provide a brief outline.

Orchestra-Guided Writing Overlay

Keep the existing workflow, file layout, and defaults. Use the shared references below only when they improve writing quality:

Read ../shared-references/writing-principles.md before drafting the Abstract, Introduction, Related Work, or when prose feels generic
Read ../shared-references/venue-checklists.md during the final write-up and submission-readiness pass
Read ../shared-references/citation-discipline.md only when the built-in DBLP/CrossRef workflow is insufficient

These references are support material, not extra workflow phases.
