review-paper

review-paper is a skill for Claude Code from pedrohcgs/Claude-Mini. It costs 102 tokens per session (4,617 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An academic manuscript review tool that produces a detailed report on a research paper. It can also simulate journal peer review, including editor and referee decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a `.tex`, `.pdf`, `.qmd`, or supported document filename. Choose a standard review, an adversarial critic-and-fixer loop, or a journal-specific peer-review simulation.
Why use it?
It helps authors find weaknesses and improve a manuscript before submission or after receiving a revise-and-resubmit decision. Different modes provide either a standard review or a more demanding critique.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

review-paper 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 400 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Manuscript Review

Produce a thorough, constructive review of an academic manuscript — the kind of report a top-journal referee would write.

Which review skill do I want?

  • /review-paper (this skill) — single comprehensive report, optional --adversarial critic-fixer loop, or --peer <journal> simulated peer-review pipeline. Best for most drafts.
  • /seven-pass-review — seven independent lenses in parallel (abstract, intro, methods, results, robustness, prose, citations) then synthesized. Heavier (7× token cost). Best for submission-ready drafts or R&R stage where you need maximum coverage.
  • /respond-to-referees — if you already have referee comments and need a response document, not another review.
  • /slide-excellence — for lecture slides, not papers.

Input: $ARGUMENTS — path to a paper (.tex, .pdf, or .qmd), or a filename in master_supporting_docs/. Optional flags:

  • --adversarial — critic-fixer loop (max 5 rounds).
  • --peer <JOURNAL> — simulated peer review pipeline calibrated to <JOURNAL> (see .claude/references/journal-profiles.md for available short names).
  • --r2 / --r3 — R&R continuation mode (requires --peer). Reloads prior round, classifies concerns Resolved / Partial / Not addressed.
  • --stress — hostile-editor stress test (requires --peer). Forces SKEPTIC dispositions, doubles critical peeves.
  • --no-novelty-check — skip editor's WebSearch novelty probe (default is ON).
  • --no-cross-artifact — skip auto-invocation of /review-r + /audit-reproducibility on referenced scripts.

Already received referee comments? Use /respond-to-referees instead. That skill cross-references each referee concern against the revised manuscript and drafts a complete response document.


Modes

Default mode (single-pass)

One comprehensive review report. Fast, low token cost, suitable for early drafts where the author wants feedback and will iterate manually.

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.
