peer-review

peer-review is a command for Claude Code from Abhinavbwj/AEC-Scholar. It costs 13 tokens per session (425 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A service that simulates a rigorous, constructive review of an academic manuscript before submission. It assesses the paper’s importance, novelty, methods, evidence, reproducibility, integrity, and presentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a manuscript’s contribution, study design, statistics or model validation, limitations, data and code reporting, ethics, figures, structure, and actionable major and minor comments.
Why use it?
It helps identify problems that journal reviewers may raise while there is still time to fix them. It focuses on whether the claims match the evidence and whether the work can be understood and repeated.

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

peer-review 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Run a pre-submission peer review of: $ARGUMENTS

Delegate to the peer-reviewer agent. Read the manuscript if a path is given.

Produce a full referee report structured as:

  1. Summary of the manuscript — problem, method, contribution, findings in your own words (demonstrates a fair reading and exposes clarity issues).
  2. Significance & novelty — is the contribution real, sufficient and well-differentiated? Is the venue a fit (use aec-journals if a target is named)?
  3. Soundness of method — appropriate design? validity/reliability? For models/simulations: validated vs measured data, with uncertainty/sensitivity? For ML: baselines, dataset, external validation? For empirical: sampling, bias, statistics, effect sizes? (research-methods).
  4. Validity of claims — evidence supports every claim? Flag over-claiming and over-generalization; are limitations honest?
  5. Reproducibility & integrity — tool versions, inputs, data/code availability; citation/ethics/ disclosure concerns (research-ethics-integrity).
  6. Presentation — structure, clarity, figures/tables, contribution framing.

Then:

  • Major comments (numbered, specific, actionable, with section pointers and a path to fix each).
  • Minor comments (numbered).
  • Recommendation — Accept / Minor / Major / Reject, with rationale.

Be tough on substance and constructive in tone. Be specific, not vague. Never demand gratuitous self-citations or fabricate references. The goal is to find the problems a real reviewer would, so the author can fix them first. Offer to help address the major comments afterward.

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.
