Example: Optimize And Align-Check Cover Letter

User request: Polish my draft cover_letter.md for an IEEE TPAMI submission, and verify it doesn't overclaim relative to main.tex.

Recommended module sequence:

  1. optimize (default integration runs align-check + presubmission)

Commands:

bash
uv run python -B $SKILL_DIR/scripts/cover_letter.py --mode optimize --letter cover_letter.md --manuscript main.tex --journal ieee-trans --json

Expected output:

  • % PRESUBMISSION findings: missing declarations, length violations, banned phrase hits.
  • % ALIGNCHECK findings: claim-accuracy issues with claim_strength, allowed_wording suggestions, and manuscript_section_anchor pointers.
  • Section-level diff suggestions in LaTeX-comment format: % OPTIMIZE (Line N) [Severity: Major] [Priority: P1]: ...
  • A re-run of --mode align-check on the proposed rewrites to verify no new unsupported claim was introduced.
