A question-and-answer stage in Open ScholarPeer, a workflow for reviewing research papers. It creates probing question-and-answer pairs for each review criterion using separate question and answer roles.

It is for generating structured questions and answers about a paper's summary, literature, history, baselines, and other configured criteria.

It helps test research claims against review criteria after the earlier investigation stages are complete.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00020	$0.01574
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00630
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00315

Security

Grade A, and why

5-osp-qa 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 1mo 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 — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tool capability: This tool supports subagents. The Query Agent MUST delegate each question to osp-answer-generator-agent as a subagent with a fresh, minimal context bundle. Do NOT use self-reflection.

/5-osp-qa — Multi-Aspect Q&A Engine

For each criterion in session.json.qa_criteria[], generate N probing Q&A pairs (N = qa_pairs_per_criterion, default 2). The Query Agent runs in the main thread; the Answer Generator runs as a subagent (or self-reflects on the few tools that lack them).

Activation

Invoke the osp-query-agent skill (main thread). The Query Agent will spawn osp-answer-generator-agent per question.

Inputs — none of these is a gate

phases.summary.status, phases.literature.status, phases.historian.status and phases.baseline_scout.status. Each one that is missing removes a source of evidence, not the phase: no summary means you question the paper directly; no literature or narrative means novelty claims cannot be checked against prior work; no baseline scout means no missing-baseline questions. Run with what exists, name each gap in the artifact's Provenance, and let the answers say "could not be verified" rather than guessing.
qa_criteria[] in session.json. If it is empty, onboarding never ran — use the generic criteria from .claude/defaults/generic_review_guidelines.md and record that you did.

Record any skip before you start. The orchestrator is not in the loop when the user runs this command directly, so it falls to you: for every earlier phase still pending, set phases.<name>.status = "skipped" and phases.<name>.skip_reason to their reason, or "user ran /5-osp-qa first". A phase left pending reads as "not reached yet", and the final review cannot tell the difference.

Step 0 — Resource check and pair count (run BEFORE any Q&A work)

Read session.json. Count qa_criteria[] items (call it C).
Read qa_pairs_per_criterion from session.json (default 2 if absent).

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.

5-osp-qa is a command published in the GitHub repository amirkiarafiei/open-scholar-peer (51 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,574 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
