Adversarial Quality Audit Workflow

Iterative critic/fixer loop for any supported document format.

Format Detection

Determine file type from extension:

• .tex → Beamer LaTeX slides
• .qmd → Quarto RevealJS slides (compare vs .tex benchmark if it exists)
• .typ → Typst document (audit against quality standards)

Workflow

Phase 0: Pre-flight → Phase 1: Critic audit → Phase 2: Fixer → Phase 3: Re-audit → Loop until APPROVED (max 5 rounds)

Hard Gates (Non-Negotiable, Universal)

Phase 0: Pre-flight

For .qmd files:

1. Locate Beamer (.tex/.pdf) and Quarto (.qmd/.html) files
2. Check freshness (re-render if QMD newer than HTML)
3. Verify TikZ SVGs if applicable

For .typ files:

1. Locate the file, check it compiles
2. Detect document type (slides, CV, guide, essay, report)

For .tex files:

1. Locate the file, verify it compiles
2. Check for auxiliary files (.aux, .bbl)

Phase 1: Initial Audit

Launch the quality-critic agent to audit the document. Save the report it returns to quality_reports/[FILENAME]_qa_critic_round1.md (re-audits: _round[N].md) before launching the fixer.

Phase 2: Fix Cycle

If not APPROVED, launch quality-fixer agent to apply fixes (Critical → Major → Minor), re-compile, and verify.

Phase 3: Re-Audit

Re-launch critic to verify fixes. Loop back to Phase 2 if needed.

Iteration Limits

Max 5 fix rounds. After that, escalate to user with remaining issues.

Final Report

Save to quality_reports/[FILENAME]_qa_final.md with:

• Hard gate status
• Iteration summary (rounds, issues fixed per round)
• Remaining issues (if any)
• Final verdict
