What is exa-source-review?

A review workflow for checking a research result set for source quality, repeated claims, weak evidence, and ranking errors. It uses review stages to decide which findings should remain in the final answer.

Use it to audit research sources, remove weak claims, explain what evidence is most trustworthy, and improve rankings or filtered result sets.

It helps prevent unreliable sources, duplicated information, and poorly supported conclusions from reaching the final research summary.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00034	$0.00157
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00063
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00031
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00016

Security

Grade A, and why

exa-source-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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Exa Source Review

What To Load

For source-quality heuristics, see references/source-quality.md.

Workflow

Use source-auditor to separate keep vs drop decisions.
Use synthesis-reviewer if the final answer still feels bloated or under-argued.
Make the ranking or filtering criteria explicit.
Prefer practitioner signal over commentary noise.

Output

strongest sources
weakest sources or claims to remove
what the user should trust most and why

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
