workflows:review

workflows:review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from James-Traina/compound-science. It costs 21 tokens per session (2,859 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A multi-agent review skill for econometric research, meaning statistical analysis used in economics, and its supporting code and materials.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review estimation programs, identification arguments, proofs, data scripts, research pipelines, plans, or their output files.
Why use it?
It checks whether estimation code, causal claims, numerical behavior, proofs, data pipelines, and research outputs are methodologically sound. It first confirms that there are research artifacts to review.

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

workflows: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 5d 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.

Review Command

Pipeline mode: This command operates fully autonomously. All decisions are made automatically.

Perform exhaustive econometric and methodological review using multi-agent parallel analysis. Domain-specific reviewers check estimation quality, identification strategy, numerical stability, and mathematical rigor.

Execution Workflow

Phase 1: Scope Detection

  1. Eligibility Check

    Before launching review agents, verify there is something to review. If no research artifacts are found (no estimation code, no proofs, no pipeline files, no data scripts, no output files), state "No research artifacts found to review" and stop. Do not launch agents against an empty target.

  2. Determine Review Target

    The review is artifact-centric: it reviews research files (estimation code, proofs, pipelines, data scripts), not git metadata. Determine the target in priority order:

    • File paths or directories (e.g., estimation.py, src/models/, proof.tex) → review those artifacts directly
    • Plan reference (e.g., plan-3) → find the plan in docs/plans/, review files it references
    • PR number → fetch file list with gh pr view --json files
    • Empty → auto-detect: scan the project for estimation code, proofs, pipeline files, and data scripts. If git shows recent changes, include those.
  3. Classify Artifacts

    Scan the target files and classify by type:

    estimation_code: *.py with statsmodels/scipy.optimize/pyblp/linearmodels imports
                     *.R with fixest/lfe/AER/gmm imports
                     *.jl with Optim/NLsolve imports
                     *.do with reg/ivregress/gmm commands
    simulation_code: Monte Carlo loops, DGP code, bias/RMSE computation
    proofs:          *.tex with theorem/proof environments, *.md with derivation sections
    pipeline_files:  Makefile, Snakefile, dvc.yaml, master.do
    data_code:       data loading, cleaning, merge operations
    output_files:    tables/*, figures/*, *.csv result files

What ships with it

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.

workflows:review is a skill published in the GitHub repository James-Traina/compound-science (13 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 2,859 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
