paperreview

name: paperreview description: Use when the user explicitly wants to upload a final or near-final PDF to paperreview.ai for an external second opinion. Skip this for local paper critique, which should go through paper-review-pipeline first. version: 0.1.0

paperreview.ai submission

Purpose

Submit a paper PDF to paperreview.ai using the same HTTP flow as the website:

1. Request a presigned upload URL
2. Upload the PDF directly to S3
3. Confirm the upload to start processing and receive a token

This skill uses a small Python script so it can run deterministically without a browser. The public version requires you to provide your own email when submitting.

Safety model

• Treat --submit as an irreversible external side effect (creates a real submission and returns a token).
• Default to --dry-run first to validate the file and show what would happen.

Email policy

The public version does not ship with a fixed email address.

• Use --email you@example.com when doing a real submission
• Keep your own email out of version-controlled defaults

How to use

1) Dry-run (no network, no submission)

python scripts/submit_http.py --pdf "/path/to/paper.pdf" --dry-run

2) Real submit (network + S3 upload + token returned)

python scripts/submit_http.py --pdf "/path/to/paper.pdf" --venue ICLR --email "you@example.com" --submit

By default, after a successful submit the token is also written next to the PDF as:

• <pdf>.paperreview.token.txt

To disable token file writing:

python scripts/submit_http.py --pdf "/path/to/paper.pdf" --venue ICLR --email "you@example.com" --submit --no-token-file

3) Poll for results (every 10 minutes) and save next to the PDF

When the review is ready, paperreview.ai can be queried with:

• GET /api/review/<token>
  • 202 means still processing
  • 200 means ready (JSON review payload)

This skill provides a polling script that saves timestamped artifacts next to the PDF:

• <pdf>.paperreview.<timestamp>.json (raw JSON, includes _retrieved_at and _token)
• <pdf>.paperreview.<timestamp>.md (human-readable Markdown)

Run (default: 10 minutes, up to 48 hours):

python scripts/watch_review.py --pdf "/path/to/paper.pdf"

One-shot check (useful for debugging / cron):

python scripts/watch_review.py --pdf "/path/to/paper.pdf" --once

Minimal acceptance checks

• Dry-run: exits 0 and prints basic validation info.
• Submit: exits 0 and prints a token: line. Save the token immediately.
• Watch: when ready, saves .json + .md next to the PDF and exits 0.
