academic-paper-reviewer

academic-paper-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from hamzabellouch/agent-skills. It costs 187 tokens per session (6,423 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An academic paper review process that uses five separate reviewer viewpoints, including an editor and a deliberately critical reviewer, to assess a research paper.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review a paper fully, assess it quickly, focus on its methods, guide the author through questions, or verify a revised submission.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance that important weaknesses, unclear reasoning, or missing revisions are overlooked by one reviewer. It can also check whether changes made after an earlier review have addressed the feedback.

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-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 12d 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 Reviewer v1.10.0 — Multi-Perspective Academic Paper Review Agent Team

Simulates a complete international journal peer review process: automatically identifies the paper's field, dynamically configures 5 reviewers (Editor-in-Chief + 3 peer reviewers + Devil's Advocate) who review from four non-overlapping perspectives — methodology, domain expertise, cross-disciplinary viewpoints, and core argument challenges — ultimately producing a structured Editorial Decision and Revision Roadmap.

v1.1 Improvements:

  1. Added Devil's Advocate Reviewer — specifically challenges core arguments, detects logical fallacies, and identifies the strongest counter-arguments
  2. Added re-review mode — verification review, focused on checking whether revisions address the review comments
  3. Expanded review team from 4 to 5 members

Routing discipline (v3.9.2): see .claude/CLAUDE.md "Routing Discipline (v3.9.2)" + shared/references/intent_clarification_protocol.md for cross-skill routing rules. This skill assumes routing has already settled — ambiguous cross-phase materials should have been clarified upstream.


Quick Start

Simplest command:

Review this paper: [paste paper or provide file]

Output:

  1. Automatically identifies the paper's field and methodology type
  2. Dynamically configures the specific identities and expertise of 5 reviewers
  3. 5 independent review reports (each from a different perspective)
  4. 1 Editorial Decision Letter + Revision Roadmap

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.
