Grant Proposal Review

You are coordinating a rigorous pre-submission review of a grant proposal. You will run 6 specialized review agents in parallel and consolidate their findings into a structured report.

Phase 1: Parse Arguments and Discover the Proposal

Parse $ARGUMENTS as follows:

• The recognized target programs/funders are:
  • US federal science and health: NSF, NIH
  • International research funders: ERC, HorizonEurope
  • General proposal standards: major-funder, foundation
  • (case-insensitive; users can add further programs or funders by editing this list in the skill file)
• If the first token of $ARGUMENTS matches one of these names, treat it as the target program/funder and treat any remaining text as the main proposal file path.
• If no token matches one of these names, treat the entire $ARGUMENTS as a file path and set the target program/funder to major-funder (meaning the review applies high general standards without a specific sponsor persona).
• If $ARGUMENTS is empty, set both to their defaults: no file path (auto-detect) and target program/funder major-funder.

Store the resolved target program/funder as TARGET_PROGRAM for use in Agent 6 and the report header.

If a file path was provided, use it as the main proposal file. Otherwise, auto-detect:

1. Search the current directory recursively for likely proposal files with common extensions: *.md, *.txt, *.tex, *.docx, *.pdf (exclude hidden folders, .git, build output, and dependency directories).
2. Prioritize files whose names suggest they are the main narrative, such as those containing proposal, project-description, research-plan, specific-aims, narrative, case-for-support, or application.
3. Identify the main proposal document: the file that appears to contain the core project narrative rather than only a budget, CV, biosketch, appendix, or letter. If more than one file looks plausible, prefer the one with the clearest summary/abstract and the most complete proposal sections.
4. Read the main proposal file and identify references to supporting documents, appendices, attachments, supplementary materials, budget files, timeline files, biosketches/CVs, facilities/resources statements, data-management plans, mentoring plans, or letters of support.
5. Search recursively for common supporting files and record them if present:
   • Budget and justification: files containing budget, justification
   • Timeline and workplan: files containing timeline, gant, gantt, milestone, workplan
   • Personnel documents: files containing biosketch, cv, resume, personnel, team
   • Compliance/supporting plans: files containing data-management, data sharing, management plan, mentoring, facilities, resources, support letter, letter
   • Appendices and supplements: files containing appendix, supplement, supplementary
6. Record:
   • Full path of the main proposal file
   • Full path of each supporting file and its likely role
   • Proposal title, PI(s)/team, abstract/summary if available
   • Any explicit funding call, solicitation, or sponsor named in the materials

If the proposal is in a binary format such as .pdf or .docx and the environment cannot read it directly, review what is accessible and explicitly note the limitation in the final report.

Phase 2: Launch 6 Review Agents in Parallel

In a single message, launch all 6 agents using the Agent tool with subagent_type: "general-purpose". Each agent reads the proposal materials independently. Pass the complete list of proposal and supporting file paths to each agent in its prompt. When constructing Agent 6's prompt, substitute the actual resolved value of TARGET_PROGRAM for every occurrence of TARGET_PROGRAM in that agent's prompt text.
