# Paper Review

Produce a review that helps the reader judge the paper: what it contributes, which claims the evidence supports, and which concerns could change the assessment. Be fair to strengths and weaknesses. Do not invent faults to fill a quota or assume that a paper deserves rejection.

## Working across assistants

This skill uses ordinary Markdown and the host's available capabilities. It does not require a particular model, provider SDK, named search tool, or companion skill. See [runtime guidance](references/runtime-compatibility.md) when a capability is missing or the skill is embedded in an API workflow.

Before reviewing:

- Identify the supplied paper, any supplement, and the user's purpose: self-review, referee report, focused critique, or revision of an existing review. Respect that scope; a reference-only request does not require a new full review.
- Read enough of the abstract and method to identify the topic before researching. Read the full paper, including tables and bibliography, before drawing conclusions. If only an abstract or excerpt is accessible, give a scoped critique and state what you could not assess.
- Use the requested language and venue form. If neither is specified, use the user's language and the default structure below. Current user-provided review forms take precedence over bundled examples.

Academic Revision Checklist

JimmyRaoUF/academic-revision-checklist

Reader-first revision of academic English (dissertation chapters, abstracts, papers, defense slides). Finds the sentences a first-time reader stops at, fixes them in the author's voice, and turns each fix into a rule checked across the whole document. 66 checks from 60+ revision rounds of one HCI dissertation, a 16-item quick list, reading protocols, and a script that lists candidates for the mechanical checks. Use when revising or checking academic writing, when a text reads like AI, or when one reader comment should be applied everywhere. 修改或检查英文学术写作（博士论文、摘要、期刊论文、答辩讲稿）：找出第一次读的人会卡住的句子，按作者的口吻改

Research

hec-ovi/research-skill

Answers research questions - best X, compare A vs B vs C, what's the latest Y, evaluate this tool, how does Z work. Prefer this over a plain web-search skill for those questions: it searches the web itself and saves the findings. Recalls prior findings from the project's persistent .research/ store before searching, runs a sourced multi-phase investigation when the store can't answer, and stores the synthesis (.research/ with an INDEX.md dispatcher and per-topic FINDINGS.md entries) so the next session skips the re-research.
