What it does

Peer Review is an agent skill from Norman-bury/research-writing-skill. Use before submission or when reviewing papers - provides evaluation checklists, bias detection, and self-review templates

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Peer review. The repository describes itself as: 科研写作助手 (Research Writing Assistant). The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Peer review

Example prompts

  • “/peer-review”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f79595. 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

Peer Review loads about 582 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 107 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~582

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.

同行评审与自审

本技能提供论文评审、自我审视和批判性分析的完整指南。

Checklist

  • 初步评估:把握论文核心
  • 逐节详细审查
  • 方法论和统计严谨性评估
  • 可重复性和透明度检查
  • 撰写审稿报告
  • 提供具体改进建议

一、同行评审工作流程

阶段1:初步评估

关键问题:

  • 核心研究问题或假设是什么?
  • 主要发现和结论是什么?
  • 工作是否科学合理且有意义?
  • 是否适合目标期刊/会议?
  • 是否存在明显的重大缺陷?

输出:2-3句话的简要总结。

阶段2:逐节详细审查
摘要与标题
  • 摘要是否准确反映研究内容和结论?
  • 标题是否具体、准确、信息丰富?
引言
  • 背景信息是否充分且最新?
  • 研究问题是否有明确的动机和理由?
  • 相关先前研究是否被适当引用?
方法
  • 其他研究者能否根据描述复现研究?
  • 方法是否适合解决研究问题?
  • 统计方法是否适当?
结果
  • 结果是否逻辑清晰地呈现?
  • 图表是否适当、清晰且正确标注?
  • 是否包含所有相关结果?
讨论
  • 结论是否有数据支持?
  • 研究局限性是否被承认和讨论?
  • 推测是否与数据支持的结论明确区分?
阶段3:方法论和统计严谨性

统计评估:

  • 统计假设是否满足?
  • 是否报告效应量和p值?
  • 是否适当应用多重检验校正?
  • 样本量是否有功效分析支持?

实验设计:

  • 对照是否适当和充分?
  • 重复是否足够?
  • 潜在混杂因素是否被控制?

二、审稿报告结构

总结陈述
markdown
## 总体评估

**研究概述**:[1-2句话概括]

**总体建议**:[接受/小修/大修/拒稿]

**关键优点**:
1. [优点1]
2. [优点2]

**关键缺点**:
1. [缺点1]
2. [缺点2]
主要意见

显著影响论文有效性的关键问题:

  • 基本方法论缺陷
  • 不适当的统计分析
  • 不支持或过度陈述的结论
  • 缺少关键对照或实验
次要意见

改善清晰度和完整性的问题:

  • 图表标签或图例不清晰
  • 缺少方法细节
  • 排版或语法错误

三、批判性思维框架

偏倚检测
偏倚类型检查要点
确认偏倚是否只强调支持性发现?
选择偏倚样本是否代表目标人群?
发表偏倚是否缺少阴性结果?
P-hacking是否多次分析直到显著?
逻辑谬误识别
谬误类型表现
事后归因"B跟在A后面,所以A导致了B"
相关=因果混淆关联与因果
草率泛化从小样本得出广泛结论
挑选数据只选择支持性证据

四、自我审稿提示词

投稿前自查
markdown
# Role
你是一位严苛的资深学术审稿人。

# Task
请深入阅读并分析我的论文,撰写严厉但建设性的审稿报告。

# 审查维度
1. **原创性**:实质性突破还是边际增量?
2. **严谨性**:推导是否有跳跃?实验对比是否公平?
3. **一致性**:声称的贡献是否得到验证?

# Output
- Part 1 [Review Report]:Summary, Strengths, Weaknesses, Rating
- Part 2 [Strategic Advice]:具体改进建议

# Input
投稿目标:[期刊/会议名]
论文内容:[粘贴]
快速质量检查
markdown
# Task
快速检查论文是否存在以下问题:

1. 逻辑一致性:引言的声明是否在实验中得到验证?
2. 术语一致性:核心概念是否保持一致命名?
3. 数据支持:所有结论是否有数据支持?
4. 对照完整性:是否与足够的baseline比较?
5. 消融充分性:是否验证了每个关键模块?

# Output
- 无问题:[检测通过]
- 有问题:分点列出位置和具体问题

五、审稿语气

最佳实践
  • 建设性:将批评框架为改进机会
  • 具体:提供具体例子和可操作建议
  • 平衡:承认优点和缺点
  • 尊重:记住作者投入了大量努力
  • 客观:关注科学,而非科学家
避免事项
  • 人身攻击或轻蔑语言
  • 没有具体例子的模糊批评
  • 要求超出范围的不必要实验
  • 在双盲评审中暴露身份

六、审稿检查清单

  • 总结陈述清楚传达整体评估
  • 主要问题被清楚识别和论证
  • 建议的修改具体且可操作
  • 统计方法已被评估
  • 可重复性和数据可用性已评估
  • 图表已评估质量和完整性
  • 全文语气建设性且专业

Questions about Peer Review

What does Peer Review do?

Use before submission or when reviewing papers - provides evaluation checklists, bias detection, and self-review templates. Peer Review is an agent skill from Norman-bury/research-writing-skill.

When should I use Peer Review?

Peer Review fits situations like: tasks that involve Peer review.

How do I install Peer Review in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add Norman-bury/research-writing-skill --skill peer-review -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/peer-review in Norman-bury/research-writing-skill) into .claude/skills/peer-review in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
