PROMPT

Create a skill called "Revision Diff Packager". Ask for: - Previous submission and revised manuscript (or instructions on where they are) - Writing system: Word / Google Docs / LaTeX / other (if unknown: unspecified) - Journal/conference requirements for marked changes (if unknown: unspecified) Output: - A packaging checklist: - Clean manuscript - Marked-changes version (method depends on tool) - Change log summary - File naming convention + version tag - A QA checklist: missing figures/tables, broken references, track-changes leaks, anonymity issues (if blind review). Rules: - If tool-specific steps are unknown, clearly mark them as unspecified and provide generic alternatives.

How It Works

Revision requests often require "highlighted changes" alongside a clean version.

This recipe builds a packaging checklist so you don't miss anything and don't

repeat the work next time.

What You Get

  • Clean manuscript checklist
  • Changes-marked plan tailored to your tool:
  • Word: compare documents / track changes
  • Google Docs: version history / suggested edits
  • LaTeX: latexdiff
  • A change log aligned to the reviewer-response matrix (if you used that recipe)
  • A QA checklist: missing figures/tables, broken references, track-changes leaks, anonymity issues
  • File naming convention and version tag

Setup Steps

  1. Provide the previous submission and revised manuscript (or describe where they are)
  2. Tell the Claw your writing tool (Word/Docs/LaTeX)
  3. Provide journal/conference requirements for marked changes (if known)
  4. The Claw produces packaging steps, required files list, and a QA checklist

Tips

  • Pairs with the Reviewer Response Matrix for a complete revision workflow
  • Run the QA checklist even if you think you're done — it catches blind-review leaks
  • If your tool details are unknown, the Claw provides generic steps you can adapt
