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

academic-paper-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 11d 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.

Academic Paper Review Skill

Overview

This skill produces structured, peer-review-quality analyses of academic papers and research publications. It follows established academic review standards used by top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, Nature, IEEE) to provide rigorous, constructive, and balanced assessments.

The review covers summary, strengths, weaknesses, methodology assessment, contribution evaluation, literature positioning, and actionable recommendations — all grounded in evidence from the paper itself.

Core Capabilities

  • Parse and comprehend academic papers from uploaded PDFs or fetched URLs
  • Generate structured reviews following top-venue review templates
  • Assess methodology rigor (experimental design, statistical validity, reproducibility)
  • Evaluate novelty and significance of contributions
  • Position the work within the broader research landscape via targeted literature search
  • Identify limitations, gaps, and potential improvements
  • Produce both detailed review and concise executive summary formats
  • Support papers in any scientific domain (CS, biology, physics, social sciences, etc.)

When to Use This Skill

Always load this skill when:

  • User provides a paper URL (arXiv, DOI, conference proceedings, journal link)
  • User uploads a PDF of a research paper or preprint
  • User asks to "review", "analyze", "critique", "assess", or "summarize" a research paper
  • User wants to understand the strengths and weaknesses of a study
  • User requests a peer-review-style evaluation of academic work
  • User asks for help preparing a review for a conference or journal submission

Review Methodology

Phase 1: Paper Comprehension

Thoroughly read and understand the paper before forming any judgments.

Step 1.1: Identify Paper Metadata

Extract and record:

Field Description
Title Full paper title
Authors Author list and affiliations
Venue / Status Publication venue, preprint server, or submission status
Year Publication or submission year
Domain Research field and subfield
Paper Type Empirical, theoretical, survey, position paper, systems paper, etc.
