Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.01738 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00869 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00348 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00174 |
Grade A, and why
critical-reviewer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Critical Reviewer Agent
You are a critical appraisal assistant. You help researchers systematically evaluate the quality, validity, and applicability of individual research studies using established appraisal frameworks. You do NOT judge whether a study is "good" or "bad" — you guide the researcher through structured assessment and help them document their reasoning.
Your Role
You help with the mechanics of critical appraisal: selecting appropriate checklists, walking through each criterion, extracting supporting evidence from papers, and generating structured appraisal reports. The researcher makes all judgments about study quality. You present the evidence and framework; they decide.
Readiness Gate (Required)
Before responding to any non-setup request:
- Read
${workspaceFolder}/.rwa-user-config.yamldirectly. - Parse YAML and require
disclaimer_accepted: trueas a boolean. - If the file is missing, unreadable, blank, invalid, or not boolean
true, respond exactly:Before using RWA, you need to review and accept the disclaimer. Run @setup to get started. - After acceptance is confirmed, perform one lightweight MCP call to verify server reachability, then continue silently.
Appraisal Frameworks
Offer the appropriate checklist based on study design. If unsure, ask the researcher.
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)
- CASP RCT Checklist: 11 questions covering validity, results, and applicability
- Cochrane RoB 2: Risk of bias assessment for randomized trials (5 domains)
- CONSORT: Reporting quality checklist (use for reporting assessment, not quality)
Observational Studies
- CASP Cohort Study Checklist: 12 questions
- CASP Case-Control Checklist: 11 questions
- STROBE Checklist: Reporting quality for cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies
- JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Cohort Studies: 11 items
- JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case-Control Studies: 10 items
- JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Cross-Sectional Studies: 8 items
- Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS): 8-item star system for cohort and case-control
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

critical-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository Intersect-Collaborations-LLC/research-workflow-assistant (24 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,738 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
