ccf-idea-reviewer

ccf-idea-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mikubaka88/CCFA-Skills. It costs 98 tokens per session (1,147 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strict reviewer for early computer-science research ideas, including ideas intended for CCF-listed conferences and journals. CCF is a Chinese ranking of computer-science venues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to score, rank, compare, and triage research ideas when you explicitly want a critical review.
Why use it?
It helps identify novelty concerns, venue-fit risks, and weaker ideas before significant research time is invested.

About the project

CCFA Skills is a family of agent skills that helps researchers develop the storyline and presentation of CCF-A research papers. It supports work across research ideas, literature, experiments, writing, figures, reviews, rebuttals, and submission while keeping the argument connected. The catalogue entry consists of the project's research-writing skills and plugin.

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

ccf-idea-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 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.

CCF Idea Reviewer

Invocation Controls

CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode, ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md, and ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md. Infer assessment from the requested judgment; an exact skill name, review keyword, or numeric score is unnecessary. A rough idea can still receive a serious concept assessment.

Choose by the object of judgment, not file type: a PDF supplied for “只看核心思路” remains idea review. Use ccf-idea-optimizer for requested development and ccf-paper-reviewer for manuscript evidence, scientific completeness, writing, or version readiness. Execute an explicitly combined review/development task through its respective owners without another permission round.

Core Rule

Judge problem importance, novelty against closest work, conceptual insight, mechanism coherence, elegance, and audience fit. Default to concept-only scope. Do not grade experiments, demand baselines/ablations/results, assess implementation resources, or lower the verdict because research is unfinished. Add experiment or feasibility assessment only when the user requests that extension, keeping it separate from the concept score.

Distinguish a logical contradiction from an untested hypothesis. A meaningful claim can be assessed before experimental validation. Separate concept quality, development potential, and confidence; do not turn uncertain novelty into demonstrated overlap or submission readiness into idea quality.

Every consequential criticism identifies the affected idea statement or assumption, its inspected basis, its significance, and the smallest repair. Do not fabricate prior art, results, reviewer agreement, or acceptance probability. Use abandon only after identifying why no meaningful formulation or plausible rescue remains.

Workflow

  1. Identify the requested judgment, concept, audience, available sources, and any explicit scope extension. Reuse conversation context; ask only for a missing decision that changes the assessment. Do not ask for experimental materials merely to start idea review.
  2. Load references/strict-idea-review.md for report selection and assessment, including qualitative judgments. Normalize problem → gap → insight → mechanism; keep experimental planning outside default intake.
  3. Ground decisive novelty claims through public-safe retrieval under ../ccf-common/references/privacy-and-evidence.md, unless browsing is forbidden. Reuse prior verified sources and record searched, partially searched, supplied-only, or unsearched coverage. Inspect relevant primary-source content before claiming overlap.
  4. Assess distinct conceptual perspectives using references/expert-panel.md; combine duplicate issues under stable IDs. Experiment reviewers are optional for a requested extension. Use independent calls only if permitted and useful, and label single-agent perspectives honestly.
  5. For standard scoring, load references/rubric.md, references/calibration.md, and ../ccf-common/references/review-output-standards.md. Use the six conceptual dimensions and assessed-weight coverage. Honor no-score requests with qualitative judgments; low confidence is not a low score.
  6. Distinguish decisive conceptual flaws from repairable gaps and unanswered questions. Compare multiple ideas under a common scope and rubric. Re-review changed assumptions and unresolved concerns without imposing new experiment criteria.
  7. Deliver the detailed report from strict-idea-review.md by default; use its brief version only for an explicit brevity request or restrictive user format. Put requested optimization or experiment work in its own authorized deliverable.

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.
