agentic-reviewer: Skill for Claude Code

.cursor/skills/review-ethics/SKILL.md

review-ethics is a skill for Claude Code, Cursor from FilippoScaramuzza/agentic-reviewer. It costs 43 tokens per session (727 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for checking whether an academic paper follows research-ethics requirements, including approval, consent, conflicts, and data availability.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess human or animal research approvals, informed consent, conflicts of interest, data-sharing statements, and authorship concerns.
Why use it?
It helps find ethical omissions that may prevent publication or require clarification before review is complete.

Written for Claude Code and Cursor: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter, but also installed under .cursor/.

This is FilippoScaramuzza/agentic-reviewer's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Cursor how to work on agentic-reviewer itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agentic-reviewer configures →

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-ethics 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 10d 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 Ethics

Check ethical compliance of an academic paper, identifying any issues that could lead to rejection.

Prerequisites

Before starting, read:

  1. The paper file
  2. context/<journal-slug>/scope-and-criteria.md (journal-specific ethics requirements)

Review Checklist

IRB/Ethics Board Approval

  • Is institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee approval documented?
  • Is the approval number or reference provided?
  • Does the approval cover the specific study conducted?
  • For studies not requiring IRB, is this justified?

Informed Consent

  • Is informed consent documented for human subjects research?
  • Is the consent process described (written, verbal, etc.)?
  • Are consent forms available if required?
  • For vulnerable populations, are additional protections described?

Animal Research Ethics

  • For animal studies, is ethical approval documented?
  • Are animal welfare guidelines followed (ARRIVE guidelines, etc.)?
  • Is the 3R principle (Replace, Reduce, Refine) addressed?
  • Are euthanasia methods described and humane?
  • Mark as N/A if the paper does not involve animal research

Conflicts of Interest

  • Is a conflicts of interest statement present?
  • Are all potential COIs disclosed (financial, personal, professional)?
  • Are there undisclosed COIs implied by author affiliations or funding?
  • Is the funding source declared?

Data Availability & Sharing

  • Is a data availability statement included?
  • Are data deposited in a public repository (with DOI/accession number)?
  • If data cannot be shared, are restrictions justified?
  • Is analysis code available?

Authorship Ethics

  • Does the author list seem appropriate for the contribution?
  • Are author contributions described (CRediT taxonomy)?
  • Is there evidence of honorary/gift authorship?
  • Is corresponding author clearly designated?

Privacy & Anonymization

  • Are participants properly anonymized?
  • Is sensitive data protected (no identifiable information)?
  • Are there privacy risks in data sharing?
  • Is GDPR or relevant data protection legislation addressed?

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.

review-ethics is a skill published in the GitHub repository FilippoScaramuzza/agentic-reviewer (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 727 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
