reviewer-author-loop

Iterative manuscript improvement workflow where a reviewer agent critiques, an author agent revises, a verifier checks the revision, and the loop repeats until acceptance or a human-pause condition is reached. Use for virtual peer review, reviewer-author revision loops, rebuttal preparation, resubmission polishing, journal paper improvement, response-to-reviewers drafting, and deciding when additional data, experiments, theory, modeling, or author judgment is required before further revision.

# Reviewer-Author Loop

## Purpose

Use this skill to run a closed-loop manuscript improvement process:

1. A **Reviewer Agent** evaluates the manuscript as a skeptical but constructive peer reviewer.
2. An **Author Agent** revises the manuscript and response plan to address the review.
3. A **Verifier Agent** checks that the revision actually resolves the comments and does not introduce new problems.
4. The loop repeats until the reviewer recommends acceptance or the author/verifier reaches a pause condition requiring human input.

This skill is distinct from one-pass peer review. Its value is the revision loop, traceable comment resolution, and explicit stop/pause decision.
