reviewer-author-loop

reviewer-author-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill. It costs 94 tokens per session (1,684 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeated manuscript-review process using separate reviewer, author, and checking roles. A manuscript is criticised, revised, and checked again until it is ready to stop or needs a person to decide.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve research papers, prepare replies to peer reviewers, and polish manuscripts before resubmission. Peer review is the process in which other researchers assess a paper before publication.
Why use it?
A one-time review can miss whether every comment was actually addressed or whether revisions caused new problems. This process tracks comment resolution across multiple rounds.

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

reviewer-author-loop 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 today.

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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Reviewer-Author Loop

Purpose

Use this skill to run a closed-loop manuscript improvement process:

  1. A Reviewer Agent evaluates the manuscript as a skeptical but constructive peer reviewer.
  2. An Author Agent revises the manuscript and response plan to address the review.
  3. A Verifier Agent checks that the revision actually resolves the comments and does not introduce new problems.
  4. The loop repeats until the reviewer recommends acceptance or the author/verifier reaches a pause condition requiring human input.

This skill is distinct from one-pass peer review. Its value is the revision loop, traceable comment resolution, and explicit stop/pause decision.

Confidentiality

If private manuscripts, reviewer reports, review archives, unpublished data, grant proposals, or confidential comments are provided, use them only for the current task. Do not copy private text into reusable skill files, public outputs, examples, or repositories. When extracting lessons from private materials, convert them into abstract process rules with no titles, author names, manuscript identifiers, wording, or identifiable facts.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

  • simulate peer review and then revise the manuscript
  • alternate between reviewer and author roles
  • improve a paper until it is acceptable
  • prepare a response to reviewers or rebuttal
  • decide whether reviewer comments require new data, experiments, modeling, theory, or human judgment
  • re-review a revised manuscript after changes
  • audit whether author revisions truly addressed reviewer concerns

If the manuscript is in a specific technical field and a domain skill is available, use this skill as the process scaffold and the domain skill as the judgment layer.

Inputs To Identify

Before starting, identify what is available:

  • manuscript source: DOCX, PDF, LaTeX, Markdown, Overleaf folder, or plain text
  • target journal, conference, thesis committee, or funding program
  • current stage: pre-submission, revision, resubmission, internal review, final polish
  • existing reviewer comments or simulated review needed
  • editable source file and build/render method
  • user constraints: maximum loop count, acceptable aggressiveness, whether to edit files directly
