reviewing-manuscript

reviewing-manuscript is a skill for Claude Code from icerain-cmd/humanities-superpowers. It costs 38 tokens per session (2,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for reviewing a humanities manuscript as one connected research argument, examining its question, evidence, concepts, structure, citations, and contribution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a complete or substantial manuscript, reconstructing its argument, assessing evidence and venue fit, and producing priorities for revision.
Why use it?
It identifies which weaknesses block a convincing manuscript and turns them into an ordered revision plan instead of only correcting individual paragraphs.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Anti-Refusal · line 92
    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.
    Fix: Remove instructions that suppress warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Let the agent surface safety-relevant caveats to the user.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 48
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

reviewing-manuscript 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.

Reviewing a Manuscript

Purpose

Review a manuscript as an integrated scholarly argument rather than as a collection of polished paragraphs. The review identifies strengths, blocking weaknesses, revision priorities, and decisions that remain the researcher's responsibility.

This skill is not a simulated hostile reviewer and not a guarantee of acceptance. Its task is to reconstruct the manuscript fairly, test whether its parts support one another, and produce an actionable revision map.

Contract

Accepts a complete or substantial manuscript, research brief, argument map, journal guidelines, prior gate reports, citation audit, terminology ledger, or reviewer criteria.

Requires enough of the manuscript to reconstruct its central question, thesis, evidence, method, and contribution. A target genre or venue is strongly recommended.

Produces a manuscript review, reconstructed argument, strengths, findings by severity, revision priorities, venue-fit observations where evidence is available, and a manuscript-review gate report.

May produce section-level annotations, a revision sequence, an editorial triage table, or handoffs to citation, terminology, scope, argument, or peer-review-response skills.

Fails when the manuscript is unavailable, only a title or abstract is supplied for whole-manuscript judgment, the requested review requires invented sources or reviewer opinions, or venue criteria cannot be verified.

Guarantees that major criticisms are linked to observable manuscript evidence and that severity is distinguished from stylistic preference.

Does not guarantee publication, reviewer agreement, originality, factual truth, or disciplinary adequacy beyond the materials and expertise available.

When to use

Use after a coherent draft exists, before external circulation, after major structural revision, before selecting final submission status, or when a researcher needs a prioritized diagnosis rather than line editing.

Do not use this skill as a substitute for citation audit, specialist fact checking, or copyediting. It may identify the need for those operations and route the manuscript accordingly.

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.
