proposal-review

proposal-review is a skill for Claude Code from fmschulz/omics-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,157 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to review AI, computational-biology, and bioscience proposals for funding or project decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Assessing technical merit, data or experiment plans, risks, team capability, ethics, budgets, schedules, and funding conditions.
Why use it?
It turns incomplete or complex proposals into a consistent review and clearly marks missing evidence instead of guessing.

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

proposal-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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/score_proposal.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Proposal Review

Produce a rigorous, decision-ready review for AI/ML, computational biology, and bioscience proposals. Be fair, skeptical, specific, and explicit about missing information.

Instructions

  1. Read the proposal and identify the decision context if provided: sponsor goals, rubric, budget cap, timeline, and risk tolerance.
  2. If critical information is missing, do not invent it. Flag the gap and turn it into a prioritized question for the PI.
  3. Structure the review with these sections:
    • Executive summary
    • Heilmeier catechism
    • Technical merit
    • Data, compute, and experimental resources
    • Risk register
    • Team and execution capability
    • Ethics, safety, and compliance
    • Budget and schedule realism
    • Scorecard
    • Decision and funding conditions
    • Questions for the PI
  4. Tailor the technical review to the proposal type:
    • AI/ML: baselines, ablations, leakage prevention, calibration, external validation, compute realism
    • Bio or wet lab: controls, replicates, statistical plan, assay feasibility, translational path
  5. Include at least six risks covering technical, data or experimental, budget or timeline, and adoption or regulatory concerns when relevant.
  6. If the sponsor supplies a rubric, use its categories, weights, and decision vocabulary. Otherwise use the default 1-to-5 scorecard below; do not mix sponsor and default weights.
  7. Default weights: strategic fit and novelty 15%, technical rigor 25%, feasibility and resources 20%, team and execution 15%, risk, ethics, and compliance 15%, budget and schedule 10%.
  8. Map the default weighted mean to Strong Accept (>=4.5), Accept (>=3.7), Borderline (>=2.8), or Reject (<2.8). A documented fatal flaw may override the numeric band.
  9. Keep the review concrete and action-oriented. Reference proposal details when available and name fatal flaws plainly.
  10. For a machine-checked scorecard, run uv run --script skills/proposal-review/scripts/score_proposal.py scorecard.json. The helper rejects weights that do not total 100%, category mismatches, and scores outside 1–5. Sponsor rubrics must provide both weights and their own recommendation bands, so defaults are never mixed into a sponsor rubric.

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.

proposal-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmschulz/omics-skills (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,157 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.
