What it does

Research Quality Review is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. Audit source quality, scoring performance, duplicate patterns, source failures, stale config, and tuning opportunities.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/research-quality-review”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Source failures
  2. Source quality
  3. Scoring quality
  4. Deduplication
  5. Delivery quality
  6. Topic briefing quality

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f93838. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Research Quality Review loads about 446 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 132 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~446

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

    • missing source categories
  3. Scoring quality:
    • obvious good signals below threshold
    • noisy signals above threshold
    • over-weighted platform bonuses
    • stale or too-broad keywords

  5. Delivery quality:
    • too much detail in summaries

    • unclear recommended actions
  6. Topic briefing quality:
    • options too similar
    • low evidence topics
    • weak why-now framing
