## Prompt

```text
Check my manuscript against the appropriate reporting guideline.

**Study design:** [e.g. "randomized trial", "cohort study", "systematic review", "qualitative interviews", "diagnostic accuracy", "animal study", "prediction model"]
**Guideline (if known):** [e.g. CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, COREQ/SRQR, STARD, ARRIVE, TRIPOD, or "suggest one"]
**Manuscript text:** [PASTE the full text or the relevant sections]
**Target journal requirements:** [e.g. "checklist must be uploaded with page numbers"]

Steps:
1. Confirm which guideline (and any extension) fits my design, and why.
2. Go through the guideline items in order. For each, mark: reported fully / partly / missing / not applicable, and quote the sentence where it is reported with its section.
3. For partly reported or missing items, explain what a reviewer would expect and draft suggested text, with any facts I must supply marked [ADD].
4. Highlight the items most often flagged by editors for this design (e.g. randomization and allocation concealment, handling of missing data, reflexivity).

Return a checklist table (Item | Requirement summary | Status | Location/quote | Fix), then the top 5 fixes by importance. Base item wording on the official checklist and tell me to verify against its current version.
