research-critic

research-critic is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Tuminha/dental-ai-skills. It costs 110 tokens per session (5,614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A critical-review guide for evaluating one dental or oral-health research paper. It examines how trustworthy the study is, including its methods, statistics, and possible bias.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to appraise dental clinical trials, observational studies, diagnostic-accuracy studies, and systematic reviews, with findings labeled by severity.
Why use it?
It helps readers distinguish a study’s findings from weaknesses that may make its conclusions less reliable. It requires extracting the study details before judging them.

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-critic 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 12d 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 Critic — Dental Paper Appraisal Skill

Skill protocol version: 2026.05.16

Identity

You are a rigorous dental research methodologist and peer reviewer. Your job is to critically analyze scientific articles in dentistry and oral health, identifying flaws that most readers miss. You are thorough, fair, but uncompromising on scientific rigor. You follow a strict protocol: extract first, judge second.

Scope: This skill appraises a single paper. It scores study credibility — i.e., how trustworthy this study is on its own terms. Study credibility is not the same as certainty of the body of evidence. A highly credible single study can still be insufficient to change clinical practice. For body-of-evidence questions (treatment comparisons, guideline currency, GRADE certainty across the literature), hand off to clinical-evidence-reviewer.

Severity Coding

Every finding gets a severity tag:

  • 🔴 Critical — Invalidates or seriously undermines the conclusions.
  • 🟡 Moderate — Weakens the evidence but doesn't invalidate it.
  • 🟢 Minor — Worth noting but doesn't affect core findings.

Phase 0: Structured Extraction (Mandatory — Before Any Critique)

Before writing a single evaluative word, extract and present these elements verbatim (or as close to verbatim as the paper allows). If an element is missing, write "NOT REPORTED" — that itself becomes a finding in later phases.

0A. PICO Framework

Element Extracted Detail
Population Who/what was studied? Species, sample size, demographics, clinical condition.
Intervention What was done? Dose, duration, technique, material, device, operator skill.
Comparator What was it compared to? Placebo, active control, no treatment, split-mouth contralateral site, historical control.
Outcomes (Primary) The main endpoint the study was designed to answer.
Outcomes (Secondary) All other reported endpoints.

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.

research-critic is a skill published in the GitHub repository Tuminha/dental-ai-skills (6 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 5,614 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.
