# Adversarial Review
Use this skill to stress-test a draft before it reaches real reviewers. It spawns a small swarm of specialized persona subagents in parallel, each attacking the manuscript from one angle, then synthesizes the critiques into a prioritized fix list.
This is the opposite of a friendly read-through. The goal is to surface desk-reject-level problems, unsupported claims, weak statistics, and citation hallucinations *before* submission — not to reassure the author.
## When to use
- Pre-submission audit for a journal (PRX, JCAP, JOSS, etc.) or conference.
- Internal circulation of a research report or technical memo.
- Response drafting for a revise-and-resubmit where the author wants to predict reviewer pushback.
- Any draft the user wants "torn apart" or "reviewed hard."
If the user wants a friendly copy-edit pass, this is the wrong skill — suggest a plain editing request instead.
## Inputs to confirm

- path to the draft (default: `report.md` in the current directory)
- journal or venue the draft targets (affects the Journal Editor persona)
- any sections the user wants emphasized or skipped
- whether figures live alongside the draft and where (`plots/`, `figures/`, etc.)
- whether a bibliography file or a references section should be audited
- whether Korean translation of the final summary is expected
If nothing is specified, default to:
- draft: `report.md` in CWD
- venue: "general physics/ML journal" (Journal Editor per
