peer-review

name: peer-review version: 7.0.0 description: | Write a venue-form peer review of someone else's paper. Humanization is automatic.

Thin shim over the research-review CLI. The CLI runs three steps internally for every paper: (1) codex writes a long detailed free-form draft, no template constraint; (2) extract_judgment compresses the draft into a structured judgment dict (numerics + per-field bullets); (3) prose is regenerated under real-human sentence templates, with numerics preserved from step 1.

No draft input, no draft option. Every paper goes through the same three-step pipeline.

For self-critique with no AI-detection concern, use /self-review. license: MIT compatibility: claude-code opencode allowed-tools: - Read - Write - Bash - AskUserQuestion

Single venue-form review of someone else's paper, with humanization built in.

When to use

The user asks you to review someone else's paper for a specific venue.
The user mentions GPTZero / Originality / Pangram / ACM MM AI-rate cap.
The user explicitly invokes /peer-review.

For a free-form critique of the user's own paper, use /self-review. For humanizing an existing draft, use /humanize-paper-review.

Required inputs (use AskUserQuestion if missing)

paper — path to the paper file (PDF / DOCX / MD / TEX / HTML).
venue — target venue (ACM MM, NeurIPS, ICLR, ARR / EMNLP, AAAI, CVPR, ICML, COLM, IJCAI, AISTATS, journals like TPAMI / TMLR / JMLR). Default: ACM MM.
output — output path. Default: alongside the paper, suffix _review.json.

Install from zero (one-time)

If the user has nothing installed yet, run these in order. All three are required.

# 1. Python CLI (pulls openprogram in as a git dependency automatically)
pip install research-agent-harness

# 2. Codex CLI (the prose generator; gpt-5.5 backend is the verified 0% AI path)
npm install -g @openai/codex
codex auth login   # interactive: ChatGPT account or API key

# 3. Verify
research-review --help

Local development (editable, if user has the repo cloned):

pip install -e ~/Documents/LLM\ Agent\ Harness/OpenProgram
pip install -e ~/Documents/Research-Agent-Harness

Symlink this skill into Claude Code / opencode (one time, if not already):

ln -s <path-to-research-agent-harness>/skills/peer-review ~/.claude/skills/peer-review
# opencode: ~/.config/opencode/skills/peer-review

Run the CLI

research-review "<paper>" --venue "<venue>" -o "<output>"

The CLI runs the full pipeline:

Loads the paper (PDF / DOCX / TEX → markdown, cached as sibling .md).
Looks up the venue's scoring rubric and required form fields.
Generates prose via codex CLI under the real-human sentence-template constraint (RULE 1 paper-grounding, RULE 2 template skeletons).
Fills numeric / enum / boolean fields (score, verdict, sub_scores, confidence, best_paper_candidate) via tool-use schema enforcement.
Writes a JSON to the output path with all venue-required fields.

Report to user

Where the file was saved.
The venue spec used (echoed in the JSON's venue field).
AI-detection rate not measured. If a hard KPI applies, invoke /gptzero-check on the output. Re-run if it exceeds the cap.

Errors

Unknown provider: 'codex' — use --review-provider openai-codex (the canonical name).
gpt-5.5-mini not supported — codex ChatGPT account doesn't allow the mini model on some endpoints; the CLI defaults to gpt-5.5 so this should not occur unless the default has been overridden.
codex did not write — usually a transient SIGKILL from the codex CLI. The CLI retries internally. If it persists, check Chrome / network and re-run.
