Limits and checks

Citation support

References or gap claims may be incomplete, incorrect, or unsupported.

Open and verify every cited source and check the argument against it.

Venue claims

A style guide or checklist may become outdated.

Compare the output with the current official venue instructions.

Official install gap

Copying that command unchanged will fail.

Open the official repository source, download or clone it there, then use the exact documented copy commands.

More boundaries
  • Do not start the composer with only a vague topic; it requires a detailed outline and supporting literature.
  • The Skills do not verify that every cited paper exists or supports the associated claim.
  • A manuscript described by the source as submission-ready still needs author, supervisor, source, integrity, and venue checks.
