peer-review-engine

peer-review-engine is a skill for Claude Code from TobiasBlask/open-paper-machine. It costs 96 tokens per session (4,438 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for producing two independent simulated peer reviews of an academic paper before submission or sharing with co-authors. Double-blind review means the reviewers and authors are not identified to each other.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with a Markdown or LaTeX paper draft to generate reviewer reports covering strengths, weaknesses, and concrete revision suggestions.
Why use it?
It helps reveal weaknesses before real reviewers do and gives authors specific changes to make. Separate reviewer perspectives can expose different problems in the same draft.

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

peer-review-engine 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 10d 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.

Peer Review Engine

Core Principle

The best time to discover weaknesses is before reviewers do. This engine generates two independent, simulated double-blind peer reviews that mimic the rigor, tone, and structure of top-tier IS/CS conference reviews (ICIS, ECIS, HICSS) and journal reviews (MISQ, ISR, EJIS, BISE). Each reviewer has a distinct persona and evaluation focus, producing complementary perspectives on the manuscript.

The reviews are actionable, not performative. Every weakness includes a concrete suggestion for improvement. Every strength is specific enough to preserve during revision. The output format is designed to feed directly into /respond-reviewers, creating a pre-submission quality loop: write -> self-review -> revise -> submit.

When to Activate

  • User says "review my paper", "simulate a peer review", "give me reviewer feedback"
  • User says "review paper", "pre-submission check", "what would reviewers say?"
  • After Phase 6 (LaTeX export) when the user wants quality assurance before sharing
  • Before sending a draft to co-authors
  • When the user wants to identify weaknesses before formal submission
  • User runs /review-paper

Prerequisites

  • draft.md or latex/paper.tex exists (at least one)
  • Paper has identifiable sections (Introduction, Background, Method, Results/Findings, Discussion)
  • If paper.tex exists and is more recent than draft.md, prefer paper.tex

Step 1: LOCATE & READ the Paper

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.
