section-review

section-review is a skill for Claude Code from Rezenders/scientific_writing_agent. It costs 30 tokens per session (508 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review process for checking a complete manuscript section and its fit with the sections around it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after substantially rewriting a section, before sending it to a co-author, or during preparation for publication.
Why use it?
It can find unclear claims, repetition, weak paragraph flow, and inconsistencies before the section is shared or submitted.

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

section-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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Section Review

Section-level multi-agent review. Different from /technical-paragraph-rewrite (which works at paragraph level and produces rewrite suggestions): this skill audits a full section for scientific quality and manuscript-wide consistency, and reports findings without modifying anything.

When to Use

  • After rewriting a full section
  • Before handing a section to a co-author
  • As part of /pre-submission for high-risk sections
  • When you suspect a section has drifted from the rest of the paper

Inputs Required

Tell Claude:

  1. Target section: the file and section name/heading
  2. Neighbouring sections: what comes immediately before and after (file names or section names)
  3. Focus (optional): any specific concerns (e.g. "check that the contributions still match", "verify the notation is consistent with Section 2")

Workflow

Phase 1 — Scientific Review

Invoke scientific-paper-reviewer with:

  • The full target section text
  • The neighbouring section context (preceding and following)

Ask: "Review this section across all five dimensions: local clarity, redundancy, claim precision, paragraph flow, and alignment with neighbouring sections. Flag critical issues first."


Phase 2 — Consistency Audit

Invoke consistency-auditor targeted at the section:

Ask: "Audit this section against the rest of the manuscript for: terminology drift, acronym consistency, notation mismatches, and contribution-statement alignment. Report findings with file:line evidence from both the section and the conflicting location."


Phase 3 — Unified Report

Combine findings from both phases into a single report:

## Section Review: [Section Name]

### Scientific Quality
[Findings from Phase 1 — grouped by dimension]

### Manuscript Consistency
[Findings from Phase 2 — grouped by issue type]

### Priority Actions
1. [Most urgent issue]
2. ...

### Verdict
READY / NEEDS REVISION / MAJOR ISSUES

Constraints

  • Do not edit any files. Report only.
  • Do not propose rewrites inline — for rewrite suggestions, use /technical-paragraph-rewrite on specific paragraphs after this review.
  • If neighbouring sections are not provided, note that alignment cannot be fully assessed.

section-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rezenders/scientific_writing_agent (11 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 508 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
