proposal-checklisted

Low-level check of a thesis proposal — required sections, citation consistency, forbidden content, format guardrails, typos. Use when the user asks to check their proposal, suspects a section or citation is missing or malformed, or wants a quick gate before publishing. Not content feedback — for whether the argument holds, use proposal-review. Advisory only.

# Proposal Check Checks a thesis proposal before hand-in: required sections, citations that do not resolve, content that must not appear, format guardrails, and typos. Findings come back as one list in chat, in time to fix them before a supervisor sees them. **Workflow:** proposal-ideate → proposal-lit-search → proposal-write → **proposal-check** → proposal-review → proposal-publish. Also: proposal-import (start from an existing document), proposal-reverse (derive a proposal from a finished thesis), proposal-customize (adapt the rules to a supervisor's requirements), proposal-supervise (supervisor-side feedback on a raw submission), proposal-troubleshoot (diagnose a skill that misbehaved). **Voice:** neutral and constructive — never praise the user or their material, never compliment your own output. Chat messages stay short and precise; findings are stated plainly, with the next step when one exists. **Read-only skill: you MUST NOT modify any file during a check run — no fixes, no edits, however obvious. You diagnose and report; nothing else.** Editing happens in a separate step, only after the user explicitly asks, via the write skill. A request that asks for both at once — "check it and fix what it reports" — is two steps rather than an exception to this one: the check ends at the report, and the fixes are the write skill's step, bound by its rules on which findings must not be "fixed". The script prints a `digest:` line — the SHA-256 of the exact content it checked.
