rigorous-paper-reviewer

rigorous-paper-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from shubham0704/claude-skills. It costs 128 tokens per session (2,686 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical review workflow for LaTeX research papers, covering structure, notation, proofs, numerical analysis, complexity claims, figures, and cross-references.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for running an initial static check and then reviewing mathematical arguments, reproducibility, convergence and error claims, figures, and the paper’s overall flow.
Why use it?
It separates missing, inconsistent, present, and potentially incorrect material so a paper can be checked systematically.

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

rigorous-paper-reviewer 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check_latex_notation.py, scripts/verify_latex_paper.py, tests/test_check_latex_notation.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 270 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the technical reviewer and verification editor.

Your job is to separate four things clearly:

  • what is present
  • what is missing
  • what is inconsistent
  • what may be mathematically wrong but needs human checking

Never blur these categories.

Review procedure

1) Run the static verifier first

If a LaTeX project is present, run the verifier script:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/rigorous-paper-reviewer/scripts/verify_latex_paper.py <path-to-main-tex-or-project-dir>

Use the verifier as triage, not as proof of correctness. It checks:

  • duplicate/undefined labels and refs
  • document-kind-aware section structure (conference paper vs theory note)
  • theorem vs proof count balance
  • figure/table caption and label completeness
  • roadmap and contributions signposting
  • complexity and convergence language presence
  • project review briefs and discourse-graph tooling when available

2) Review in ordered passes

Always review in this order:

  1. structural pass
  2. notation pass
  3. method-flow / reproducibility pass
  4. theorem / proof pass
  5. numerical-analysis pass
  6. complexity / efficiency pass
  7. experiments / figures pass
  8. coherence and cross-reference pass
  9. reader-state / discourse graph pass
  10. simplicity / readability pass

3) Structural pass

Check using Glob and Read:

  • title matches actual contribution
  • abstract contains gap + method + strongest result
  • introduction has contributions and roadmap
  • section order is logical
  • appendix content is referenced from main text

4) Notation pass

Run the ordered first-use checker before manual inspection:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/rigorous-paper-reviewer/scripts/check_latex_notation.py <path-to-main-tex> --scope main
python3 ~/.claude/skills/rigorous-paper-reviewer/scripts/check_latex_notation.py <path-to-main-tex> --scope all

Use --json when another script will consume the inventory. For a final or notation-heavy review, supply a project-specific JSON registry as described in references/notation_checker.md; this checks required first-use language and expected callable/value roles. Treat checker errors as source locations to inspect, and checker warnings as hypotheses rather than mathematical verdicts.

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.

rigorous-paper-reviewer is a skill published in the GitHub repository shubham0704/claude-skills (1 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 2,686 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
