nature-reviewer

nature-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from yniantongtian-oss/nature-skills. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,161 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool that imitates the referee reports used to assess papers submitted to Nature, a major scientific journal. It evaluates a manuscript from the reviewers’ point of view.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for pre-submission reviews, manuscript assessment, and identifying technical or presentation problems that need fixing.
Why use it?
Authors may miss weaknesses in originality, importance, technical correctness, audience fit, or clarity before submitting. This provides several independent-style critiques and a combined summary.

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

nature-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 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.

Nature Reviewer Assessment Skill

Use this skill to simulate a Nature-style reviewer assessment package from the referee side.

This skill is for reviewer-style manuscript evaluation, not for drafting the authors' response. If the user wants rebuttal writing, route to nature-response.

Default stance

  • Ground the review only in the local source basis plus manuscript facts supplied by the user.
  • Evaluate the manuscript against source-grounded axes: originality, scientific importance, interdisciplinary readership, technical soundness, and readability for nonspecialists.
  • Return exactly 3 reviewer reports + 1 cross-review synthesis unless the user explicitly asks for another structure.
  • The three reviewers may differ only in emphasis; do not invent reviewer identities, specialties, institutions, or biographies.
  • Identify who would be interested in the results and why.
  • Identify technical failings that must be addressed before the authors' case is established.
  • Distinguish clearly between what is supported, what is weak, and what is not assessable from the provided material.
  • Do not claim the editor's final decision or certainty about fit to Nature.

Accepted inputs

The skill may receive:

  • full manuscript draft
  • abstract, summary paragraph, or cover-summary style text
  • introduction, results, discussion, or methods excerpts
  • figure legends, selected figures, or result notes
  • author notes in Chinese or English describing the claimed contribution
  • pre-submission positioning notes

If the provided material is partial, perform a bounded review and mark the assessment boundary explicitly.

Workflow

  1. Identify the input scope and whether the job is a reviewer-style assessment rather than rebuttal drafting.
  2. Extract a shared manuscript fact base: main claim, visible evidence, claimed significance, likely readership, and visible limitations.
  3. Check readiness and label missing evidence or missing sections instead of inventing them.
  4. Assess the manuscript using the source-grounded axes.
  5. Generate Reviewer 1, Reviewer 2, and Reviewer 3 using shared facts but different emphasis.
  6. Generate a Cross-review synthesis that captures consensus and weighting differences.
  7. Run QA for groundedness, coverage, role boundaries, and non-invention.

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.
