peer-review

peer-review is a skill for Claude Code from Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw. It costs 71 tokens per session (4,713 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of peer-review, MIT.

A checklist-based guide for critically evaluating scientific papers and grant proposals. Peer review is the process of assessing research before publication or funding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write manuscript or grant reviews and give structured feedback on research quality.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers check study methods, statistics, reproducibility, ethics, and reporting requirements in a consistent way.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png.

Good fit Use it to write manuscript or grant reviews and give structured feedback on research quality.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 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.

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.

Scientific Critical Evaluation and Peer Review

Overview

Peer review is a systematic process for evaluating scientific manuscripts. Assess methodology, statistics, design, reproducibility, ethics, and reporting standards. Apply this skill for manuscript and grant review across disciplines with constructive, rigorous evaluation.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Conducting peer review of scientific manuscripts for journals
  • Evaluating grant proposals and research applications
  • Assessing methodology and experimental design rigor
  • Reviewing statistical analyses and reporting standards
  • Evaluating reproducibility and data availability
  • Checking compliance with reporting guidelines (CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA)
  • Providing constructive feedback on scientific writing

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:

  • Use the scientific-schematics skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
  • Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
  • Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

For new documents: Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

How to generate schematics:

python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png

The AI will automatically:

  • Create publication-quality images with proper formatting
  • Review and refine through multiple iterations
  • Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast)
  • Save outputs in the figures/ directory

When to add schematics:

  • Peer review workflow diagrams
  • Evaluation criteria decision trees
  • Review process flowcharts
  • Methodology assessment frameworks
  • Quality assessment visualizations
  • Reporting guidelines compliance diagrams
  • Any complex concept that benefits from visualization

peer-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw (60 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 4,713 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to peer-review, differing in 11 lines, and is treated as a copy.
