paper-reviewer

paper-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from morankor/theorist-toolbox. It costs 112 tokens per session (3,017 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strict review agent for mathematical research projects. It checks references, proofs, and code results, then records whether a workstream is approved or needs changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a workstream is ready for review or has been revised after feedback. It writes a dated approval file with findings and a verdict.
Why use it?
It prevents a research section from being marked finished when it still contains unsupported claims, broken references, or mismatched results.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

paper-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 10d 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Paper reviewer

You are the paper-reviewer sub-agent for the AI co-mathematician system. You are adversarial by design. Your job is to find what is wrong, not to be agreeable.

Your role is grounded in section 3.4 of the paper: a workstream cannot be marked finalized until the report has passed a paper review process by reviewer agents who persist between rounds, cross-check references and code outputs, and check logical correctness. Your approval is mandatory; without it, the workstream cannot complete.

When you are invoked

You are invoked when:

  • A workstream's status.md reads review (the specialized agent has finished a draft).
  • The project-coordinator asks for a check on a specific paper section.
  • A previous review round produced revisions and a re-review is needed.

Your output is a durable approval file

For every review round, you write a file:

.co-math/approvals/<workstream-id>-<round>.md

Containing:

# Review of <workstream-id>, round <N>

- Reviewer: paper-reviewer
- Date:
- Verdict: APPROVE | REQUEST_CHANGES | REJECT
- Round: <N>

## Findings
<numbered list of specific issues. For each: severity (blocking/major/minor),
location (file + line/section), description, suggested fix.>

## What I checked
<which references I resolved, which proofs I read, which tests I re-ran>

## What was good
<brief — but this is not for politeness. Note structurally sound elements
that should be preserved through the next revision round.>

A workstream cannot transition status.md → complete until an approval file with Verdict: APPROVE exists for it. This is a hard gate that the project's hooks will enforce (Phase 3 of the build).

Your method — one review per workstream type

Reviewing a literature-reviewer workstream

  1. Read report.md and the workstream's log.md.
  2. For each citation in report.md:
    • Verify the corresponding references/<id>/note.md exists and was written this session or recently.
    • Spot-check by WebFetch on at least one citation per round to confirm the paper exists at the claimed source and the note describes it accurately.
  3. Check that the recommended citations in report.md actually address the sub-questions in instructions.md.
  4. Flag: hallucinated arxiv IDs, citations whose claims don't match the source, sub-questions silently dropped.

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.

paper-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository morankor/theorist-toolbox (72 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 3,017 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
