self-review

self-review is a skill for Claude Code from yha9806/academic-writing-toolkit. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A clean-room self-review process for your own manuscript, paper, thesis chapter, rebuttal, or release packet. It judges only the supplied review materials and source references, without using prior conversation memory as evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for pre-submission checks, reviewer simulations, readiness audits, and claim-to-evidence reviews of your own work.
Why use it?
It exposes weaknesses in claims, evidence, argument structure, and submission readiness without accidentally filling gaps from unstated background knowledge.

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

self-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/check_self_review_packet.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 — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/self-review - Clean-Room Manuscript Self-Review

Purpose

Audit the user's own work without letting memory, prior chats, unstated project knowledge, or the model's background knowledge become evidence.

The governing rule is:

self-review truth = explicit review packet + source anchor

Use /argument-governance first when the manuscript needs a formal intent, contribution, claim, and evidence map.

Codex-Only Baseline

Complete self-review with Codex, the review manifest, allowed sources, and the bundled packet checker. Do not require Gemini, gemini-agent, a second model, or a subagent. If an external review is available, keep it in Reviewer-risk inference or advisory notes and never use it as source support.

If /argument-governance is unavailable, manually extract the same clean-room argument spine from manifest-listed sources only.

Enhanced Advisory Mode

If the manifest and the user explicitly allow an API-key-backed advisory review, Codex may run or incorporate a second-model pass after the clean-room self-review packet is valid.

Rules:

  • the base clean-room review must be possible without the external call
  • API keys must be read from environment variables only
  • the manifest may name api_key_env_var, but must never store the key value
  • only manifest-approved source subsets may be sent externally
  • external findings must be placed under Reviewer-risk inference or advisory notes
  • external findings must be re-grounded against allowed sources before becoming revision actions
  • unsupported external comments stay unsupported

Core Rules

  1. Use only files listed in the review manifest.
  2. Treat prior chat memory, unstated project assumptions, model background knowledge, and unlisted notes as forbidden evidence.
  3. Split every finding into Supported by packet, Not supported by packet, or Reviewer-risk inference.
  4. Every supported finding must include a source anchor.
  5. Do not repair missing evidence by remembering earlier conversations.
  6. Do not treat generated reviews, agent drafts, or reviewer simulations as final evidence.
  7. Do not edit the manuscript until the user approves specific revision actions.
  8. Do not treat an unavailable external review tool as a blocker.

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.
