Revision Diff Packager
Generate clean + tracked/diff outputs for revise-and-resubmit
Package a revision the way editors and coauthors want it: clean manuscript, changes-marked version, and a concise change log. Produces a repeatable packaging checklist and QA pass before you hit submit.
INGREDIENTS
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
- Provide the previous submission and revised manuscript (or describe where they are)
- Tell the Claw your writing tool (Word/Docs/LaTeX)
- Provide journal/conference requirements for marked changes (if known)
- 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
