paper-referee-revise

What it does

Revises an academic paper based on journal referee reports. Reads referee comments from a review file or annotated manuscript, then modifies the manuscript one comment at a time with user approval. Generates a response letter after revision. Trigger when the user mentions the keywords for referee revision.

How it works

• Accept a project folder containing main.tex, manuscript subfolders, and referee materials (reports or annotated files).
• Identify the correct source for the current round: main.tex for round 1, or main-r{X-1}.tex for round X.
• Scan for referee files (referee*, report*, review*, R1*, annotated*, comments*, feedback*, revision*).
• Read and categorize each referee comment as Empirical, Text, or Editorial.
• Structure each comment as a discrete revision item with an ID (e.g., R1-1), type, location, and original comment.
• Present comments grouped by referee to the user and wait for confirmation to proceed.
• If empirical comments exist, generate empirical-revise.tex outlining required empirical tasks and halt with a printed status message.
• If no empirical comments exist, proceed to Phase 4: for each comment, display the exact text, show the matching original text in main-rX.tex, propose a revision wrapped in \textcolor{red}{...}, and ask the user to approve, modify, skip, or provide their own revision.
• Maintain a revision log including whether a comment was applied or skipped and the final revised text.
• After all comments, generate response-rX.tex as a detailed, self-contained response letter describing changes and referencing revised passages.

When to use it

Trigger phrases include: "referee revise" / "paper-referee-revise" / "审稿意见修改" / "根据审稿人意见修改" / "referee report".

What it can touch

The system edits main-rX.tex (and uses color markup via \textcolor{red}{...} for changes). It references table/figure numbers and may require auxiliary files for new content.

Caveats

No empirical revisions proceed unless empirical-revise.tex is generated and the user completes empirical work first. All changes are applied only after explicit user approval per comment. The main manuscript (main.tex) is never overwritten directly; round edits target main-rX.tex. The summary notes emphasize that the output includes a detailed response letter (response-rX.tex).
