| 1 | # Cover Letter Skill (Academic Submission) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Generate, optimize, align-check, journal-fit-check, and pre-submission-check a submission cover letter using the user's existing LaTeX manuscript as the evidence source. The core differentiating capability is **align-check**: every claim the letter makes must trace to visible manuscript evidence; generation and optimization plug into that contract by default. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Capability Summary |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Generate a draft from a manuscript .tex (five-segment scaffold; title/abstract/contributions/authors extracted deterministically). |
| 8 | - Optimize an existing draft against tier strategy and the active journal template; return LaTeX-comment diff suggestions, never file edits. |
| 9 | - Align-check letter claims against the manuscript (overclaim, missing evidence, unsupported numeric tokens, AI-disclosure inconsistency between letter and manuscript). Runs by default inside `generate` and `optimize`. |
| 10 | - Journal-fit score on four sub-axes (scope_fit, novelty_framing, evidence_density, format_compliance) → HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW. |
| 11 | - Pre-submission mechanical checks: required declarations, length, opener clichés, banned phrases, AI-tone term frequency, structural AI-trace signals, paragraph shape. |
| 12 | - Unified deterministic CLI (`scripts/cover_letter.py`) with `--mode generate|optimize|align-check|journal-fit|presubmission`; legacy scripts remain supported. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## Triggering |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Use when the user has a LaTeX manuscript and wants a cover letter generated, an existing letter polished/reviewed, claims verified against the manuscript, a journal-fit assessment, or pre-submission declaration/length/phrasing checks. Prefer this skill over generic prose tools whenever the request mentions "cover letter," "submission letter," "投稿信," or "editor letter" with a paper / journal / conference context. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | ## Do Not Use |
| 19 | |
| 20 | - Manuscript `main.tex` edits → `latex-paper-en` (English) or `latex-thesis-zh` (Chinese). |
| 21 | - Full reviewer-style critique of the paper itself → `paper-audit`. |
| 22 | - `.bib` search or citation verification → `bib-search-citation`. |
| 23 | - Typst sources — only `.tex` manuscripts are supported in this version. |
| 24 | - Reviewer response letters (rebuttals) — deferred to a future release. |
