evidence-review

evidence-review is a skill for Claude Code from yha9806/academic-writing-toolkit. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,073 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled workflow for literature reviews and evidence syntheses, including review papers, scoping reviews, and systematic narrative reviews. It tracks what each source can reliably support and how citations connect to claims.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build gap maps, claim registers, citation plans, traceability tables, and audits for unsupported or overstated conclusions.
Why use it?
It prevents candidate records, abstracts, adjacent fields, or unpublished work from being treated as firm evidence. It also helps detect claims that go beyond the available sources.

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

evidence-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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_review_package.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.

/evidence-review - Evidence-Controlled Review Skill

Purpose

Create literature-review and review-paper workflows that are traceable from evidence to claim. This skill extends the toolkit's read-note-map-integrate pipeline with stricter evidence-status control, gap mapping, citation-role planning, paragraph-level claim traceability, and overclaim auditing.

Trigger Words

This skill activates on: evidence review, gap review, gap map, claim traceability, overclaim audit, review paper, scoping review, systematic narrative review, /evidence-review.

Core Rules

  1. Keep the central review scope explicit.
  2. Separate direct evidence, background evidence, methodological support, workflow/governance support, candidate-only records, unpublished work, and in-progress work.
  3. Do not fabricate references, DOI, PMID, sample size, venue, abstracts, results, or claims.
  4. Do not treat candidate-only, metadata-only, abstract-only, generated-stub, or manual-review records as full-text evidence.
  5. Do not treat adjacent-domain evidence as direct validation of the target domain.
  6. Preserve uncertainty and boundary language.
  7. Use the project's citation style or placeholder convention. If the project uses review placeholders, preserve [CITE: CitationKey].
  8. Draft section by section. Do not assemble a final chapter or paper until section-level controls are clean.

Workflow

1. Scope And Boundary Setup

Create a short scope statement with:

  • central review question
  • direct evidence domain
  • adjacent background domains
  • methodological support domains
  • excluded topics
  • key overclaim risks

2. Evidence Inventory

Inspect existing project files before drafting. Common locations include:

  • literature/reading_notes/
  • summaries/
  • evidence/
  • outputs/references_master.csv
  • outputs/search_log.md

Classify each source using references/evidence_status_schema.md.

3. Gap Map

Create or update:

  • evidence/evidence_matrix.csv
  • evidence/claim_register.csv
  • evidence/citation_plan.csv
  • evidence/remaining_gap_notes.csv
  • evidence/overclaim_risk_register.csv

Changes

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.
