technical-paragraph-rewrite

technical-paragraph-rewrite is a skill for Claude Code from Rezenders/scientific_writing_agent. It costs 54 tokens per session (842 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review workflow that checks whether a paper paragraph accurately describes related software, then suggests revised wording. It does not change the text unless you approve it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare a manuscript paragraph with source files, examples, or architecture notes and receive several reviewed rewrite options.
Why use it?
It helps catch incorrect descriptions of functions, interfaces, data structures, or system behavior before publication. It is useful when the paper has an associated software implementation.

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

technical-paragraph-rewrite 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.

Technical Paragraph Rewrite

Overview

Multi-agent pipeline that verifies a manuscript paragraph against a software implementation, gathers scientific review feedback, and iterates through two rounds of rewrite suggestions — without touching the file until the user explicitly approves.

When to Use

  • A paragraph describes what a function, query, interface method, or data structure does
  • You want to verify the description is accurate before editing
  • You want 2-3 concrete rewrites with peer review baked in

Implementation Reference Paths

What to verify Where to look
Type names, data structures, schemas <path>
Running examples referenced in the paper <path>
Runtime behavior, interface method names <path>
Design intent / architecture documentation <path>

Workflow

Phase 1 — Implementation Check

Invoke paper-implementation-checker with:

  • The paragraph text (quoted verbatim)
  • The implementation file to check against (use the table above)

Ask: "Does this paragraph accurately describe what this function/interface/schema does? Report CONSISTENT / DIVERGES / CANNOT_VERIFY with file:line evidence."

If CANNOT_VERIFY: note this prominently, then proceed with Phase 2 using the existing text only.


Phase 2 — Scientific Review of Findings

Invoke scientific-paper-reviewer with:

  • The paragraph text
  • The implementation checker's full findings

Ask: "Given these implementation findings, does the feedback make sense scientifically? What are 2-3 approaches to address any accuracy or clarity issues?"


Phase 3 — Writer: First Round of Suggestions

Invoke writer with:

  • The original paragraph
  • Phase 1 findings
  • Phase 2 suggested approaches

technical-paragraph-rewrite is a skill published in the GitHub repository Rezenders/scientific_writing_agent (11 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 842 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
