research-peer-review

research-peer-review is a skill for Claude Code from HirogaKatageri/hirokata. It costs 144 tokens per session (987 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research-auditing skill that reviews research, reports, briefings, and arguments for unsupported claims, bias, missing information, contradictions, and unclear conclusions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for fact-checking research, checking whether citations support claims, finding missing viewpoints, and producing a ranked list of fixes with an A–F reliability grade.
Why use it?
It helps catch errors, weak evidence, misleading citations, and one-sided reasoning before you rely on the work.

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

research-peer-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 11d 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.

Research Peer Review — Audit Before You Rely

Every confident research output hides weak claims, quiet biases, and missing angles. STORM's own documented weakness is that it doesn't self-critique — so source bias and fact misassociation (a real source bolted to a claim it doesn't actually make) slip through. This skill is the fix, usable on any research artifact, not just STORM output. Real peer review takes months; this runs an honest, adversarial version in minutes.

What It Checks

  1. Fact-check & hallucination audit — unsupported, exaggerated, or fabricated claims; citations that don't support what they're attached to; spot-checked against live sources.
  2. Bias detection — over-/under-represented views; default tilt toward mainstream/academic framing.
  3. Completeness — missing angles, stakeholders, counterexamples, recent developments.
  4. Contradiction handling — was dissent represented fairly, or quietly buried? Are reliability ratings honest?
  5. Actionability & clarity — are conclusions specific and justified, or vague and overstated?

Output: a dimension-by-dimension assessment, a ranked list of required fixes, and an overall reliability grade (A–F).

Workflow

Step 1 — Locate the Artifact

Identify what to review:

  • STORM briefing: .storm/{slug}/briefing.md (with its perspective files and contradiction map as supporting evidence).
  • A document/report: the user names a path or pastes the content.
  • An argument in the conversation: the claims are already in context.

Establish a topic label and, for file-based runs, the workspace .storm/{slug}/ for the output. If the target is ambiguous, ask one question to pin it down.

Step 2 — Spawn the Peer Reviewer

Launch the peer-reviewer agent with one Task call:

"Topic: {topic}. Review {artifact path OR pasted content} across all five dimensions. Supporting evidence (if present): {perspective files, contradiction map}. Spot-check the highest-stakes claims with WebSearch/WebFetch before flagging. Write .storm/{slug}/peer-review.md with a reliability grade and ranked required fixes."

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.
