# Example session

A full end-to-end PaperPush run captured from Claude Code: preparing the
`MANUSCRIPT` manuscript for submission to *JOURNAL* — creating and
autofilling the `.sub` file, validating it, logging in, and driving the
ScholarOne portal up to (but not including) the final submit click.

❯ Prepare my manuscript in                                                      
  /PATH/TO/MANUSCRIPT/DIRECTORY for        
  submission to JOURNAL using PaperPush                              

⏺ I'll help prepare your manuscript for JOURNAL submission. Let me first
  explore the PaperPush tool to understand the workflow.

  Listed 2 directories, ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ JOURNAL is supported. The manuscript directory contains a cover letter
  and MANUSCRIPT.pdf. Let me check the CLI workflow for creating a subfile.

  Ran 5 shell commands (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ JOURNAL is supported, and your manuscript directory has MANUSCRIPT.pdf
  plus a cover letter. The workflow is: create a JOURNAL.sub template,
  then autofill it from your files using the paperpush-autofill skill.

  Before I run the autofill, I need to confirm the two paths (my memory says
  never to infer these).
  ⎿  Invalid tool parameters

⏺ User answered Claude's questions:
  ⎿  · Where should I write the JOURNAL.sub submission file? (Manuscript 
     dir confirmed as 
     /PATH/TO/MANUSCRIPT/DIRECTORY) → In 
     the manuscript dir

⏺ Both paths confirmed. Now I'll run the autofill skill to create and populate
  the .sub file.

⏺ Skill(paperpush-autofill)
  ⎿  Successfully loaded skill

⏺ I have all inputs. Let me get the field schema for JOURNAL and render
  the skeleton.

  Read 1 file, ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Now let me render the skeleton .sub file and read the manuscript + cover
  letter.

  Read 1 file, ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ I have the full manuscript. Let me quickly confirm the cover letter file is
  valid and then write the extracted values.

  Ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Now I'll write the extracted values and apply them.

⏺ Done. Your JOURNAL.sub is created and populated at /PATH/TO/MANUSCRIPT/DIRECTORY/JOURNAL.sub.

  Filled with high confidence (12, copied from the manuscript)

  Title, structured abstract, cover letter + manuscript file, page/table/figure
  counts (4/1/1), data-availability statement, conflict-of-interest statement,
  CRediT author contributions, code repository link
  (github.com/pachterlab/MANUSCRIPT), and data source (SRA SRR453566).

  Please review these (13 — classifications and author metadata)

  Most are straightforward given the paper, but confirm them since they drive
  portal behavior:
  - article_type → Applications Note; section → Sequence analysis
  - next_gen_sequencing → yes; machine_learning / is_ml_dl_paper → no;
  is_preprint → no (no preprint referenced — change if one exists)
  - algorithm_or_software_central → yes; code_in_text → yes;
  software_installable → yes; data_documented → yes
  - portal_keywords → Sequence analysis, RNA-seq, Software, Next-generation 
  sequencing, Statistics
  - keywords → Bootstrap, Subsampling, RNA-seq, Sequence analysis (Bootstrap and
  Subsampling are off the recommended list — accepted as custom, hence the two
  warnings)
  - authors — verify carefully: Lior Pachter is set as corresponding
  (lpachter@caltech.edu, Prof.). For you (Joseph Rich) I used your account email
  josephrich98@gmail.com (not printed in the paper), left the prefix blank, and
  listed Caltech as the primary institution — your USC/Keck affiliation is
  secondary. Fix the email/prefix/institution if needed, since ScholarOne looks
  up each author by email.

  Left for you to complete

  - reviewers — ⚠️ this is the one blocking item: at least 4 recommended 
  reviewers are required and the field is empty. The file will not submit until
  you add them (format: Name | email | recommended/opposed | reason).
  - funding — no funding statement was in the manuscript (Pachter is credited
  with funding acquisition but no grant/source is stated). Add one if
  applicable.
  - ai_disclosure — declare any generative-AI use (cover letter +
  Methods/Acknowledgements).
  - software_tested / test_dataset_provided — reproducibility-checklist
  attestations only you can confirm.
  - Optional/N-A, safely left empty: figures, tables, supplementary_file (all
  embedded/absent), ethics, the three ML sub-questions, and preprint_doi.

  Next steps

  Add reviewers (and any of the above), then:
  paperpush login JOURNAL
  paperpush submit /PATH/TO/MANUSCRIPT/DIRECTORY/bioin
  formatics/JOURNAL.sub
  submit opens the ScholarOne portal and stops before the final click so you can
  review everything in the submission system first.

✻ Crunched for 2m 59s

※ recap: Preparing your MANUSCRIPT manuscript for JOURNAL submission via PaperPush. The JOURNAL.sub file is created and autofilled from the manuscript. Next, add at least 4 recommended reviewers (the one blocking field), then run login and submit. (disable recaps in /config)

❯ I have verified and filled gaps in the sub file. Please fill out submission portal.                                                                       
⏺ Let me validate the completed .sub file before opening the portal.

  Ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Validation passes (only the two expected off-list keyword warnings). Now let
  me check login status and the submit command options.

  Ran 2 shell commands (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ Credentials are stored (EMAIL) and the file passes
  validation. I'll run submit, which opens the ScholarOne portal and drives the
  submission click-through, stopping before the final submit so you can review
  everything.

  Ran 1 shell command (ctrl+o to expand)

⏺ The submission portal is filled out and ready for your review. Here's what
  happened:

  - Validated — the .sub passed (only the two expected off-list keyword warnings
  for Bootstrap/Subsampling, which get added as custom keywords).
  - Signed in to JOURNAL (PUBLISHER) automatically using your stored
  credentials (EMAIL), and saved the session for next time.
  - Ran the click-through — every field value from JOURNAL.sub was
  entered into the wizard, and it stopped before the final submit.
  - The browser is left open for you to take over.

  What's left for you

  1. Review each wizard step in the open browser against the manuscript —
  especially the author lookups, keywords, files (cover letter + manuscript
  PDF), and the reviewer list you added.
  2. Click the final Submit in the portal yourself when you're satisfied.
  3. When done, press Ctrl+C in the terminal (or close it) to close the
  automated browser.

  I stopped short of the final click by design — nothing has been submitted to
  JOURNAL yet.

✻ Crunched for 1m 38s

※ recap: Your MANUSCRIPT manuscript is prepped and its JOURNAL submission portal is filled out and signed in, stopped before the final submit. Review the open browser wizard and click Submit yourself when satisfied.```
