scholar-evaluation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dralkh/iktinah. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,484 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scholar-evaluation, MIT.

A structured method for reviewing academic papers, research proposals, literature reviews, and other scholarly writing. It examines research quality, methods, analysis, and presentation using scores and written feedback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate research quality, review study methods and data analysis, assess literature reviews, and give actionable feedback on academic writing.
Why use it?
It gives reviews a consistent set of criteria instead of relying only on informal opinion. It also helps identify weaknesses and assess whether work is ready for publication.

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

scholar-evaluation 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/calculate_scores.py, scripts/generate_schematic_ai.py, scripts/generate_schematic.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Scholar Evaluation

Overview

Apply the ScholarEval framework to systematically evaluate scholarly and research work. This skill provides structured evaluation methodology based on peer-reviewed research assessment criteria, enabling comprehensive analysis of academic papers, research proposals, literature reviews, and scholarly writing across multiple quality dimensions.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Evaluating research papers for quality and rigor
  • Assessing literature review comprehensiveness and quality
  • Reviewing research methodology design
  • Scoring data analysis approaches
  • Evaluating scholarly writing and presentation
  • Providing structured feedback on academic work
  • Benchmarking research quality against established criteria
  • Assessing publication readiness for target venues
  • Providing quantitative evaluation to complement qualitative peer review

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:

  • Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
  • Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
  • Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

How to generate schematics:

python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png

The AI will automatically:

  • Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
  • Review and refine through multiple iterations
  • Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
  • Save outputs in the figures/ directory

When to add schematics:

  • Evaluation framework diagrams
  • Quality assessment criteria decision trees
  • Scholarly workflow visualizations
  • Assessment methodology flowcharts
  • Scoring rubric visualizations
  • Evaluation process diagrams
  • Any complex concept that benefits from visualization

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.
