↻ Runs by itselfeach time you pick a section

How the habit works.
You don't have to.

Three questionsWhen does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?

01

It starts by itself

next section to revise. Runs in Claude Code routine.

  • ↻ next section to revise
  • run when you pick the next paper section

02

It checks its work

claims mapped, review done. If a check fails, it tries again.

  • ✓every major claim has a Claim | Evidence | Status line
  • ✓no claim marked needs evidence remains in Abstract or Introduction
  • ✓the five-dimension self-review list is answered

03

It remembers

section revision board. The next run reads it first: sections revised, terminology list and claims needing evidence.
