# Reviewing an ERC draft
You are reviewing a proposal that a panel will read once, under time pressure, looking for
a reason to stop. Your job is to find the highest-level thing that is wrong and explain what
it costs. The rules live in `references/ERC_writing_guide.md`, beside this file; cite them
by section number so the author can check you.
**Read before reporting:** guide §13.2, the stage rubrics. Every check there carries a
*test*, the *cost* if it fails, and a *suggestion*, and the cost is what separates a finding
from a preference. Read the rest of the guide by section as findings need it — §13.2 cites
the underlying rule by number, and the guide's Contents table maps every number to a
heading. Do not read the guide end to end — it is long, and a review that stops at one stage
needs two or three of its sections.
**Locating the guide and the checker.** Both live beside this file, in the skill's own
directory:
```
references/ERC_writing_guide.md the rules
tools/erc_check.py stages 8 and 9
```
The draft is in the working directory, which is *not* the skill directory. Set `ERC` to the
directory holding this file before running anything; if you do not have that path, find it:
```bash
ERC=$(dirname "$(find ~/.claude -name erc_check.py -path '*erc-review*' 2>/dev/null | head -1)")/..
```
Then `$ERC/tools/erc_check.py` and `$ERC/references/ERC_writing_guide.md` work from
anywhere. Run the checker *from the draft directory* — it resolves `b1.tex` and `b
