+## Proposal
+
+I want to create a GitHub action (on pull requests) that automatically checks whether the word count and plagarism are within defined boundaries.
+
+In order, this action should:
+
+- Determine if the pull request concerns an essay submission
+- Find the submitted pdf file
+- Check the word count within the file
+- Submit the file to a plagiarism check service
+- Report the status on the PR
