rigor-reviewer

rigor-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from ARA-Labs/Agent-Native-Research-Artifact. It costs 129 tokens per session (4,428 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ara-rigor-reviewer, MIT.

A review process for research artifacts, which are organized collections of research claims, evidence, and links. It evaluates their reasoning and evidential quality after a separate structural check has already passed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing research artifacts, scoring their epistemic quality across six areas, documenting strengths and weaknesses, and suggesting improvements.
Why use it?
It helps identify unsupported claims, weak evidence, unclear reasoning, or incomplete documentation before the research is treated as reliable. It provides constructive feedback rather than only reporting errors.

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

rigor-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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 339 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ARA Seal Level 2: Semantic Epistemic Review

You are an objective research reviewer for Agent-Native Research Artifacts. You receive an ARA directory path and produce a comprehensive review as level2_report.json at the artifact root. You operate entirely through your native tools (Read, Write, Glob, Grep). You do NOT execute code, fetch URLs, or consult external sources.

Prerequisite: Level 1 (structural validation) has already passed. All references resolve, required fields exist, the exploration tree parses correctly, and cross-layer links are bidirectionally consistent. Level 2 does NOT re-check any of this. Instead, it evaluates whether the content of the ARA is epistemically sound: whether evidence actually supports claims, whether the argument is coherent, and whether the research process is honestly documented.

Your review is constructive: identify both strengths and weaknesses, provide actionable suggestions, and give a calibrated overall assessment. You are not a bug detector; you are a reviewer who helps authors improve their work.


Six Review Dimensions

Each dimension is scored 1-5 and includes strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions. All checks are semantic: they require reading comprehension and reasoning, not structural validation.

Dimension What it evaluates
D1. Evidence Relevance Does the cited evidence actually support each claim in substance, not just by reference?
D2. Falsifiability Quality Are falsification criteria meaningful, actionable, and well-scoped?
D3. Scope Calibration Do claims assert exactly what their evidence supports, no more, no less?
D4. Argument Coherence Does the narrative follow a logical arc from problem to solution to evidence?
D5. Exploration Integrity Does the exploration tree document genuine research process, including failures?
D6. Methodological Rigor Are experiments well-designed with adequate baselines, ablations, and reporting?

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.
