# check-grant-format

Mechanical audit of one proposal folder against `Grants/GRANT-FORMAT.md`
(rules F1–F18). Reports per-rule PASS/FAIL with the measured value. Never
edits the proposal.

## Procedure

1. Resolve the folder: the argument, else the nearest ancestor containing
   `proposal/tex/`. Read `../GRANT-FORMAT.md` (the contract is the
   authority; if a rule number here disagrees with the file, the file
   wins).
2. If `proposal/final-pdfs/` is missing or older than any `.tex`, run
   `./build.sh` first and keep its log.
3. Run the script:

```bash
python3 ~/.claude/skills/check-grant-format/check_format.py <folder>
```

   It checks F1 (file set), F2 (fonts via `pdffonts`), F3 (page size and
   margins from the preamble), F4 (summary: one page, three headings in
   order), F5 (description ≤ 15 pages; prior-support span ≤ 5 from the
   `.aux`), F6/F7 (required headings and prior-support items), F8 (no
   URLs), F9 (log: undefined refs/cites, `??`, overfull > 20pt), F10
   (references PDF bibliography-only), F13 (DMP ≤ 2 pages), F14 (no `$`
   in facilities), F15 (budget justification ≤ 5 pages; summer months ≤ 2
   from the text), F16 (mentoring iff postdoc), F17 (reviewer names absent
   from description).
4. Judgment rules F11, F12, F18 are reported as `CONFIRM` with the question
   the PI must answer (SciENcv certified? COA template current? date SPA
   received the set?).
5. Output: a table `rule | result | measured | where`, then the list of
   FAILs with the fix. Exit status nonzero if any FAIL.

## Pass criterion

All mechanical rules PASS and every CONFIRM has a dated answer in the
proposal's `README.md`.
