itc-review

itc-review is a command for Claude Code from choxos/BiostatAgent. It costs 18 tokens per session (1,651 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code and methods reviewer for indirect treatment comparisons, which compare treatments using studies that may not have tested them against each other directly. It covers approaches such as pairwise meta-analysis, network meta-analysis, MAIC, STC, and ML-NMR.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review R code, understand the analysis structure, check treatment-comparison methods, and optionally create corrected code in a separate folder.
Why use it?
It helps identify both programming mistakes and scientific problems in the analysis. This can reveal whether the chosen method and its assumptions fit the research question and data.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is output_folder: ./reviewed/.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

itc-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 6d 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.

ITC Code Review - Expert R Code Analysis and Amendment

Review ITC analysis code for: $ARGUMENTS

Purpose

Comprehensive review of R code for indirect treatment comparison analyses (pairwise MA, NMA, MAIC, STC, ML-NMR) by an expert combining world-class ITC methodology knowledge with rigorous software engineering practices.

Review Options

Specify your preferences:

  • review_type: comprehensive (detailed) | summary (bullet points)
  • action: review_only | amend (create corrected code in subfolder)
  • output_folder: Path for amended files (default: ./amended/)
  • focus_areas: Specific concerns (optional)

Review Workflow

Review Configuration

  • Review type: {review_type} (comprehensive or summary)
  • Action: {action} (review_only or amend)
  • Output folder: {output_folder}
  • Focus areas: {focus_areas}

Step 1: Understand the Analysis

Before reviewing, understand:

  • What ITC method is being used?
  • What is the research question?
  • What data structure is present?
  • What packages are being used?

Step 2: Methodological Review

Check for issues in these areas:

Pairwise Meta-Analysis (meta, metafor, bayesmeta)

  • Correct effect measure for outcome type
  • Appropriate fixed vs random effects choice
  • Heterogeneity properly assessed (Q, I², τ², prediction interval)
  • Publication bias addressed (if ≥10 studies)
  • Sensitivity analyses included
  • Forest plot generated
  • Knapp-Hartung adjustment used (if applicable)

Network Meta-Analysis (netmeta, gemtc)

  • Network connectivity verified
  • Transitivity assumption assessed
  • Consistency tested (node-splitting, net heat)
  • Multi-arm correlations handled
  • Rankings reported with uncertainty
  • Convergence checked (Bayesian)
  • Priors specified and justified (Bayesian)

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.

itc-review is a command published in the GitHub repository choxos/BiostatAgent (11 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 1,651 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
