Pedagogical Review of a Report or Document

Perform a holistic narrative review of a Quarto report (reports/*.qmd), a replication report (quality_reports/*.md), or any document where pedagogical clarity matters (audience comprehension, motivation, worked examples, notation discipline).

Steps

  1. Identify the file specified in $ARGUMENTS

    • If no argument, ask the user which file to review
    • If just a name, look in reports/, then quality_reports/, then repo root

  2. Launch the pedagogy-reviewer agent with the full file path

    • The agent checks the standard pedagogical patterns (motivation, prerequisites, worked examples, notation consistency, narrative arc, pacing)
    • For an analysis report: also verifies that econometric assumptions and identification claims are stated clearly enough for a non-coauthor reader

  3. The agent produces a report saved to: quality_reports/[FILENAME_WITHOUT_EXT]_pedagogy_report.md

  4. Present a summary to the user:

    • Patterns followed vs. violated
    • Document-level assessments (arc, pacing, notation)
    • Top 3–5 critical recommendations

Important Notes

  • This is a read-only review — no files are edited
  • For econometric specification correctness, use the econometric-reviewer agent (or /review-stata) instead
  • For grammar/typos, use /proofread instead
