Systematic audit and review by Referee 2. Two modes — "deck" reviews slide presentations for rhetoric, visual quality, and compile cleanliness; "code" performs cross-language replication and econometric audit of empirical pipelines. Use when reviewing slides, auditing code, or verifying replication.

Scaffold a new research project with standard directory structure, CLAUDE.md template, and documented README. Use this at the start of every new project to ensure consistent organization.

Defamiliarization audit for empirical output. Systematically interrogates every feature of a figure, table, or set of results — not just the main finding. Named for Jason Fletcher, who asked about the spike at t=1 when everyone else was looking at t=2. Use when you have output and are about to interpret or report it.

Create and compile beautiful Beamer presentations following the Rhetoric of Decks philosophy. Use when making slides, creating decks, or compiling .tex presentation files.

Perform adversarial visual audit of Quarto or Beamer slides checking for overflow, font consistency, box fatigue, and layout issues.

Validate bibliography entries against citations in all lecture files. Find missing entries and unused references.

Translate Beamer LaTeX to Quarto RevealJS. Multi-phase workflow with TikZ extraction and QA.

Multi-agent slide review (visual, pedagogy, proofreading). Use for comprehensive quality check before milestones.

Run the R code review protocol on R scripts. Checks code quality, reproducibility, domain correctness, and professional standards. Produces a report without editing files.

Comprehensive manuscript review covering argument structure, econometric specification, citation completeness, and potential referee objections

Generate structured research questions, testable hypotheses, and empirical strategies from a topic or dataset

Adversarial Quarto vs Beamer QA. Critic finds issues, fixer applies fixes, loops until APPROVED (max 5 rounds).

Run the proofreading protocol on lecture files. Checks grammar, typos, overflow, consistency, and academic writing quality. Produces a report without editing files.

Run holistic pedagogical review on lecture slides. Checks narrative arc, student prerequisites, worked examples, notation clarity, and deck pacing.

Structured literature search and synthesis with citation extraction and gap identification

Extract reusable knowledge from the current session into a persistent skill. Use when you discover something non-obvious, create a workaround, or develop a multi-step workflow that future sessions would benefit from.

Interactive interview to formalize a research idea into a structured specification with hypotheses and empirical strategy

Extract TikZ diagrams from Beamer source, compile to PDF, convert to SVG with 0-based indexing. Use when updating TikZ diagrams for Quarto slides.

Challenge slide design with 5-7 pedagogical questions. Checks ordering, prerequisites, and cognitive load.

Render Quarto slides and sync to docs/ for GitHub Pages deployment. Use when deploying lecture slides after making changes.

Deep consistency audit of the entire repository infrastructure. Launches 4 parallel specialist agents to find factual errors, code bugs, count mismatches, and cross-document inconsistencies. Then fixes all issues and loops until clean. Use when: after making broad changes, before releases, or when user says "audit", "find inconsistencies", "check everything".

End-to-end R data analysis workflow from exploration through regression to publication-ready tables and figures

Create new Beamer lecture from papers and materials. Guided workflow with notation consistency.

Show current context status and session health. Use to check how much context has been used, whether auto-compact is approaching, and what state will be preserved.
