Manuscript Structure & Compliance Assistant
Structure clinical manuscripts for regulatory compliance and acceptance
What You Can Do
This skill guides you through every stage of manuscript development—from initial structure to final submission. It ensures your clinical writing meets regulatory standards (FDA, ICH, GCP), follows statistical reporting guidelines (CONSORT, STROBE), and aligns with your target journal's requirements. You'll produce publication-ready manuscripts that pass peer review and regulatory scrutiny.
Features
Generate IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, Analysis, Discussion) and specialized frameworks for regulatory submissions, observational studies, and systematic reviews.
Validate content against FDA guidelines, ICH-GCP standards, and regional regulatory requirements for clinical trial reporting and drug/device submissions.
Ensure Methods and Results sections follow CONSORT, STROBE, GRADE, and other statistical reporting checklists with correct terminology and precision.
Match your manuscript against specific journal requirements (word count, figure limits, reference style, supplementary materials) for your target venue.
Structure author contributions, conflicts of interest declarations, and funding statements according to ICMJE and journal-specific standards.
Evaluate figure quality, table formatting, and data presentation for clarity, compliance, and readability according to publication standards.
Verify reference completeness, formatting accuracy, and DOI compliance in your chosen style (AMA, Vancouver, Harvard, Nature).
Generate a comprehensive verification checklist covering structure, compliance, statistics, ethics, and journal requirements before you submit.

Example 2: Compliance Validation Report
REGULATORY & STATISTICAL COMPLIANCE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✓ CONSORT: 23/25 items approved
⚠ Missing: Baseline characteristics (Table 1)
⚠ Missing: Flow diagram with n at each stage
✓ Statistical Reporting: Compliant
✓ 95% CI reported for primary outcome
✓ Intention-to-treat analysis documented
✓ Multiple testing corrections applied
✓ FDA IND Guidance: Aligned
✓ Safety section adequate for Phase II
✓ Endpoint definitions meet FDA criteria
Next Steps: Add missing tables and flow diagram, then ready for journal.
