.agents/skills/paper-reviewer/SKILL.md

paper-reviewer is a skill for Codex from Ingar30/reviewer. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review workflow for checking an academic paper provided as a PDF, including its claims, references, numbers, and internal links between sections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit research papers, verify citations and numerical details, check cross-references, and produce a structured review report.
Why use it?
It gives paper review a repeatable process and helps catch errors that a general summary may miss.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Ingar30/reviewer's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on reviewer itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything reviewer configures →

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

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 14d 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.

Paper Reviewer Skill

This skill runs a reproducible multi-agent paper-review workflow for academic PDFs.

Use this skill when

  • the input is an academic paper PDF
  • the task is review, auditing, or verification
  • the user wants a structured report
  • the task involves literature claims, references, numeric checks, or internal cross-references

Do not use this skill when

  • the user wants only a summary
  • the user wants only proofreading
  • the user wants only a rewrite
  • parsed artifacts already exist and the request is unrelated to the review pipeline

Default input convention

  • If the user names a bare PDF filename, first look for it under inputs/.
  • If the user gives a repo-relative path, use it.
  • If the user gives an absolute path, use it as provided.

Workflow

For fresh runs, use scripts/review_paper.py as the primary entry point.

The pipeline stages are:

  1. Resolve the input PDF path.
  2. Derive paper_id from the filename stem unless explicitly provided.
  3. Preprocess the PDF into work/<paper_id>/parsed/.
  4. Render run-specific prompts into work/<paper_id>/prompts/.
  5. Launch preflight reviewers from config/reviewers.json.
  6. Validate preflight JSON and stop on blocking parser-quality failures.
  7. Route substantive reviewers around parser-quality warnings using the deterministic artifacts and parser-quality JSON.
  8. Run the conservative applicability router and record its complete decision in work/<paper_id>/selection/reviewer_selection.json. Mixed, unknown, or lower-confidence classifications automatically expand to every conditional specialist.
  9. Write the active run roster and selection provenance to work/<paper_id>/selection/selected_reviewers.json.
  10. Rerender prompts using the selected reviewer roster and parser-quality guidance.
  11. Launch the 8 universal review-stage reviewers and every applicable conditional specialist. The full roster contains 19 substantive reviewers.
  12. Validate each reviewer JSON output under work/<paper_id>/reviews/.
  13. Conservatively normalize reviewer outputs into a precision-first, lossless work/<paper_id>/editor/normalized_bundle.json. Preserve every source finding's details and do not merge findings merely because they share a quote or path.
  14. Build work/<paper_id>/editor/editor_input.md from the deterministic editor brief, the lossless bundle, and a compact provenance index. Validate the source reviewer JSON files, but do not duplicate them in the editor input or truncate evidence.
  15. Run the editor to author work/<paper_id>/editor/editor_decisions.json; validate dispositions and deterministically render its prose to outputs/<paper_id>/report.md.
  16. Smoke-check the final report with scripts/check_final_report.py --bundle work/<paper_id>/editor/normalized_bundle.json.

Changes

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.
