Seems that what is needed is something more automated, beyond a "simple" linter like ChkTeX and more towards what Word has in its readability scores, combined with the local rules of Stanford's house style. State of the art here seems still in its infancy. Example: https://www.cs.umd.edu/~nspring/software/style-check-readme.html https://www.cs.umd.edu/~nspring/software/style-check-readme.... For example, seeing a lot of double-backslashes (\\) in a LaTeX source file would be a code smell to me if not actually illegal LaTeX.
