A review workflow for checking and annotating your own academic paper, usually supplied as a PDF. It combines several independent checks and verifies findings before adding them to the document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want constructive feedback or highlighted review notes placed directly on your paper.
Why use it?
It helps catch unsupported comments and reviews problems such as writing flow, citations, figures, and copy-editing in one process.

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

reviewing-my-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (annotate_pdf.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Reviewing My Paper

Overview

A multi-lens review pipeline for the user's own academic paper that ends in an annotated PDF (highlights + sticky notes), not just prose feedback. It layers several independent lenses and — critically — adversarially verifies its own findings before presenting them, because a single review pass overstates claims and misses whole categories (citation existence, English discourse flow, figure–text consistency, copy-edit).

Core principle: every finding must be located (page + anchor) and verified before it reaches the PDF. Findings you can't substantiate get dropped or downgraded.

When to Use

  • "Review / critique / give feedback on my paper", "mark up my PDF", "proofread my manuscript".
  • The artifact is the user's own paper (be a constructive reviewer, not a gatekeeper).
  • NOT for reviewing someone else's paper for a venue (use academic-research-skills:academic-paper-reviewer directly) or writing a new paper (academic-research-skills:academic-paper).

Pipeline

Run these in order. Lenses 3–7 are independent → dispatch them as parallel subagents, each writing its results to a file so the annotation step can consume them.

# Phase How
0 Extract text PyMuPDF (see Environment). Save to paper_text.txt with page markers. Large PDFs: don't try to Read all pages.
1 Field analysis Identify discipline, method type, and target venue to calibrate standards.
2 Multi-perspective review Invoke academic-research-skills:academic-paper-reviewer (EIC + 3 reviewers + Devil's Advocate + synthesis).
3 Citation hallucination check Fan out parallel agents over every reference (~8 each). Each verifies existence + metadata via WebSearch against DOI / ACL Anthology / OpenReview / proceedings — never from memory. Classify VERIFIED / SUSPECT / NOT_FOUND with the 5-type taxonomy (TF/PAC/IH/PH/SH). Mirrors academic-research-skills:academic-pipeline integrity_verification_agent.
4 Argument / logical flow Motivation→method→claim chain, claim-evidence alignment, overclaims, non-sequiturs.
5 Academic-English discourse & language precision Two levels, both REQUIRED. Discourse: general→specific, topic-sentence-first paragraphs, given-before-new cohesion, CARS intro moves, section-opener signposting, cross-section consistency. Language precision (the highest-value differentiator — baseline reviewers and the discourse pass both skip it): every coined term/jargon defined on first use; one concept = one name across title/abstract/body/index terms; no mechanism restated in vaguer terms or 3+ jargon stacks; flag synonym churn, key-term over-repetition, vague hedges, and forward-references. Run the Language & Terminology Audit below — do not stop at discourse-level flow.
6 Figure & table review Render every figure to an image and look — text extraction (Lens 0) cannot see figures, so they get silently skipped. Three layers: (a) mismatch — every number/label/unit/class-name/symbol in a figure matches the text, tables, and body notation; (b) claim justification — does the figure actually support the claim it is cited for (a motivation figure should embody the method's core idea; a results figure should show the effect/trend/significance the text asserts; a framework figure should match the pipeline step-for-step)?; (c) design & improvement cues — standalone readability, clutter/redundancy, print/grayscale legibility, missing dispersion/CIs/significance. Give concrete improvement cues, not just diagnoses. See Figure & Table Review.
7 Grammar / copy-edit Genuine prose errors only. Tell the agent to ignore PDF-extraction artifacts (mid-word hyphenation, mangled math/symbols, spaced numerals like "15 696").
8 Adversarial self-verification Before finalizing: re-check substantive claims, especially external facts (SOTA numbers, prior-art priority, "missing baseline X"), with refute-style subagents. Downgrade or drop anything you can't substantiate. Check disclosed caveats before calling a number an "inconsistency".
9 Annotate the PDF Build a findings JSON, run annotate_pdf.py (see Tool). Color = severity.
10 Deliver Send the annotated PDF + a short summary. Offer a consolidated P0/P1/P2 revision plan.

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.
