review-paper

review-paper is a skill for Claude Code from Aperivue/medsci-skills. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,437 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for planning and drafting medical or medical-AI literature reviews. It supports narrative, scoping, and systematic reviews, including PRISMA reporting structures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scaffold a new literature review and prepare its structure, evidence tables, evaluation discussion, and quality-control handoffs.
Why use it?
It gives the review a defined scope, organized sections, summary tables, metric critique, and reporting-guideline links while preventing unsupported citations or invented data.

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

review-paper 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 12d 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.

Review-Paper Skill

Scaffold and draft a literature review — narrative, scoping (PRISMA-ScR), or systematic (PRISMA 2020) — for medical / medical-AI research. This skill builds the structure, the required scope/non-overlap framing, the summary-table stubs, and the reporting-guideline wiring, then hands off to the existing QC skills. It is the review-article counterpart to write-paper (which targets original research); for reviewing someone else's review article, use /peer-review or /self-review (the RV1-RV9 probes). The structure follows established review-writing conventions; it is not derived from, and does not reproduce, any specific published review.

Anti-Hallucination

  • Never invent citations. Every citekey must resolve to the project's verified _src/refs.bib (produced by /search-lit/lit-sync/verify-refs). If a claim needs a reference that is not yet in the library, leave a [NEEDS-REF: claim] marker and route it to /search-lit; do not fabricate a DOI, author, year, or citekey.
  • Never invent data. Summary-table cells (study, year, metric, finding) are filled only from sources the user supplies or that are verified; an unknown cell stays a placeholder.
  • No recommendation-grade language without standing. For a scoping review especially, the output maps the evidence — it does not issue clinical recommendations.
  • Quality gate before hand-off: the draft is not "done" until /self-review reports 0 fatal findings and /verify-refs reports 0 FABRICATED / MISMATCH and no placeholder citations remain.

Step 0 — Format + spine axis (the structure-determining choice)

  1. Confirm format with the user: narrative (SANRA) | scoping (PRISMA-ScR + JBI) | systematic (PRISMA 2020). This decides the reporting guideline and the registration path.
  2. Choose the spine axis — the single most consequential decision: organize the body by modality (e.g. 2D → 3D), by task (generation / QA / deployment), or by lifecycle stage. Every body section then follows this one axis; mixing axes is the most common structural failure.
  3. Require a scope statement + non-overlap boundary against prior/adjacent reviews — this pre-empts the reviewer's first question, "why another review on this?" (user-approval checkpoint: confirm the boundary with the user before scaffolding).
