Gate Mode Example Output
Example outputs from uv run python -B "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/audit.py" paper.tex --mode gate --venue ieee.
Example 1: FAIL
Quality Gate Report
File: paper.tex | Language: EN | Mode: gate Generated: 2026-03-11T14:45:00 | Venue: ieee
Verdict: FAIL
2 blocking issue(s) and 3 failed checklist item(s) prevent submission.
Blocking Issues (must fix)
| # | Module | Line | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | REFERENCES | — | Undefined reference: tab:comparison referenced but no \label{tab:comparison} found |
| 2 | PSEUDOCODE | 144 | IEEE-safe pseudocode should not use floating algorithm environments; wrap algorithmic content in a figure instead. |
Pre-Submission Checklist
- [x] No placeholder text (TODO, FIXME, XXX)
- [x] All figures referenced in text
- [ ] All tables referenced in text — Unreferenced:
- [x] Anonymous submission (blind review check)
- [x] Consistent math notation
- [x] Acronyms defined on first use
- [ ] Abstract word limit (250 words for IEEE) — Abstract has 287 words (limit: 250)
- [x] [IEEE] Keywords section present
- [ ] [IEEE] No floating pseudocode environment used — IEEE-safe pseudocode should not use floating algorithm environments; wrap algorithmic content in a figure instead.
- [ ] [IEEE] Pseudocode blocks have caption and label — Pseudocode figure is missing a caption. IEEE-style algorithm blocks should carry a figure caption.
- [x] [IEEE] Pseudocode blocks are referenced before appearing
Non-Blocking Issues (informational)
| # | Module | Line | Severity | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | BIB | — | Major | Entry wang2024 has mismatched year (bib: 2024, cited text mentions 2023) |
| 2 | FORMAT | 89 | Minor | Inconsistent figure caption style: some end with period, others don't |
| 3 | FIGURES | — | Minor | Figure 3 resolution below 300 DPI (estimated 220 DPI) |
| 4 | PSEUDOCODE | 151 | Minor | Line numbers were not detected. They are recommended for IEEE-like review but not required. |
Gate verdict: resolve all blocking issues and failed checklist items before submission.
