The record

Purpose: Checks LaTeX and BibTeX manuscripts against the Journal of Statistical Software style guide.
Supported files: The browser checker accepts .tex, .ltx, .bib, .Rnw, and .Rmd files.
Ways to use it: The project offers a command-line tool, Python and R packages, a browser checker, and a VS Code extension.
Local processing: The browser checker runs locally via WebAssembly, and the maker says files never leave the browser tab.
Manuscript formats: The linter follows LaTeX input, include, subfile, and bibliography references from a root file to check the reachable project.
Reviewer mode: Reviewer mode aggregates findings into a per-category compliance summary.
CI integration: The project provides a GitHub Action for gating JSS-format vignettes in CI.
DOI lookup: An optional online Crossref lookup can verify missing DOIs and, with --fix, add them to BibTeX files.
Measured coverage: The README reports measured recall and says a clean run does not mean the manuscript is compliant.
License: The project says its distribution channels are MIT-licensed.
Project independence: The maker says the project is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Journal of Statistical Software or its publisher.
Extension status: The Marketplace page describes the VS Code extension as scaffolded and says it depends on a language server that is staged but not yet shipped.
