What it does

Peer Review Template is an agent skill from nimrodfisher/data-analytics-skills. Structured peer review for analytical work. Use when reviewing teammates' analysis, providing constructive feedback, or establishing analysis quality standards.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/peer_review_template.md`, `assets/review_response_template.md` and `references/analytical_rigor_checklist.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Peer review. The repository describes itself as: A comprehensive list of Claude & Codex skills for a wide range of data analytics tasks. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing teammates analysis
  • Providing constructive feedback
  • Establishing analysis quality standards

Example prompts

  • “/peer-review-template”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Agree scope of review — clarify with the author what kind of review is needed: logic check, statistical validity, code review, or…
  2. Review analytical rigour — work through references/analytical_rigor_checklist.md: are the question and method aligned? Are assumptions…
  3. Review code or SQL — if the analysis involves code, apply references/code_review_for_analysis.md: reproducibility, correctness…
  4. Write feedback — use the feedback structure in assets/peer_review_template.md: must-fix issues, should-fix suggestions, and optional…
  5. Author responds — the author addresses each point and notes disposition (fixed / accepted as-is with rationale / deferred); use…
  6. Close the review — reviewer confirms must-fix items are resolved and signs off; document the outcome in assets/peer_review_template.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9449d36. 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.

    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

Peer Review Template loads about 491 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 214 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~491
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.8k

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.

Structured peer review for analytical work. Use when reviewing teammates' analysis, providing constructive feedback, or establishing analysis quality standards.

When to use

Before any analysis that will influence a significant decision is delivered to stakeholders. Peer review should be part of the standard delivery checklist for: dashboards going into production, reports used for strategic decisions, A/B test conclusions, and any analysis that will be cited externally.

Process

  1. Agree scope of review — clarify with the author what kind of review is needed: logic check, statistical validity, code review, or presentation clarity. Use references/peer_review_framework.md to set expectations.
  2. Review analytical rigour — work through references/analytical_rigor_checklist.md: are the question and method aligned? Are assumptions valid? Is the conclusion supported by the data?
  3. Review code or SQL — if the analysis involves code, apply references/code_review_for_analysis.md: reproducibility, correctness, readability, and performance.
  4. Write feedback — use the feedback structure in assets/peer_review_template.md: must-fix issues, should-fix suggestions, and optional improvements. Be specific; "this is unclear" is not actionable.
  5. Author responds — the author addresses each point and notes disposition (fixed / accepted as-is with rationale / deferred); use assets/review_response_template.md.
  6. Close the review — reviewer confirms must-fix items are resolved and signs off; document the outcome in assets/peer_review_template.md.

Inputs the skill needs
