research-review

research-review is a skill for Claude Code from raja21068/AutoResearch. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for getting critical feedback on research ideas, papers, or experimental results from another AI reviewer. It gathers the research context and can run multiple review rounds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a research project, paper draft, idea, or set of results and receive structured criticism.
Why use it?
It helps expose weak arguments, missing evidence, and other problems before research is submitted or shared.

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

research-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 8d 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.

Research Review via Codex MCP (xhigh reasoning)

Get a multi-round critical review of research work from an external LLM with maximum reasoning depth.

Constants

  • REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-5.4 — Model used via Codex MCP. Must be an OpenAI model (e.g., gpt-5.4, o3, gpt-4o)
  • REVIEWER_BACKEND = codex — Default: Codex MCP (xhigh). Override with — reviewer: oracle-pro for GPT-5.4 Pro via Oracle MCP. See shared-references/reviewer-routing.md.

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Prerequisites

  • Codex MCP Server configured in Claude Code:
    claude mcp add codex -s user -- codex mcp-server
    
  • This gives Claude Code access to mcp__codex__codex and mcp__codex__codex-reply tools

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Research Context

Before calling the external reviewer, compile a comprehensive briefing:

  1. Read project narrative documents (e.g., STORY.md, README.md, paper drafts)
  2. Read any memory/notes files for key findings and experiment history
  3. Identify: core claims, methodology, key results, known weaknesses

Step 2: Initial Review (Round 1)

Send a detailed prompt with xhigh reasoning:

mcp__codex__codex:
  config: {"model_reasoning_effort": "xhigh"}
  prompt: |
    [Full research context + specific questions]
    Please act as a senior ML reviewer (NeurIPS/ICML level). Identify:
    1. Logical gaps or unjustified claims
    2. Missing experiments that would strengthen the story
    3. Narrative weaknesses
    4. Whether the contribution is sufficient for a top venue
    Please be brutally honest.

Step 3: Iterative Dialogue (Rounds 2-N)

Use mcp__codex__codex-reply with the returned threadId to continue the conversation:

For each round:

  1. Respond to criticisms with evidence/counterarguments
  2. Ask targeted follow-ups on the most actionable points
  3. Request specific deliverables: experiment designs, paper outlines, claims matrices

Key follow-up patterns:

  • "If we reframe X as Y, does that change your assessment?"
  • "What's the minimum experiment to satisfy concern Z?"
  • "Please design the minimal additional experiment package (highest acceptance lift per GPU week)"
  • "Please write a mock NeurIPS/ICML review with scores"
  • "Give me a results-to-claims matrix for possible experimental outcomes"

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.
