research-paper-review
An AI agent skill for systematic academic paper review.
What It Does
When you share a research paper (PDF, LaTeX, or plain text), this skill guides the agent through a structured review process:
- Venue context — Adapts the review to the target conference/journal standards
- Structured summary — Problem, contributions, methodology, results, limitations
- Numerical & consistency checks — Cross-references numbers across text, tables, and figures; verifies statistics, acronyms, terminology, and citations
- Critical analysis — Evaluates novelty, soundness, significance, clarity, reproducibility, and venue alignment
- Actionable feedback — Strengths, weaknesses, questions, minor issues, and venue-specific recommendations
- Top 10 actions — Prioritized by impact-to-effort ratio so authors know where to start
