What it does

Once installed, the agent can check a research paper draft against its raw experiment output files. It pulls out each number, comparison and scope claim (for example rounding errors, best-seed cherry-picking, wrong deltas, or 'consistently outperforms' on only two datasets) and traces it to the evidence. To avoid bias, it hands the job to a separate reviewer model that sees only the .tex files and raw results, not the executor's notes or summaries.

Great for

  • Researchers preparing a paper for submission who want a second check that numbers match their data
  • Teams using an automated research pipeline who want the paper-writing step verified independently of the experiment step
  • Students checking that their reported results match their logs and result files

Skip it if

  • Judging whether the experiment design or scientific conclusion is sound; the skill only checks paper-to-evidence fidelity (use the separate experiment or result-to-claim audits for that)
  • Papers with no raw result files in the repository, since there is nothing to trace claims to
  • Running on a timer or in a loop; the skill itself says it should be run once when the draft changes, not repeatedly

Try asking

  • “Check paper claims before I submit to the conference”
  • “Verify numbers in paper/main.tex against the results folder”
  • “审查论文数据”
  • “Audit whether the 'improves by 15%' claim in the abstract matches the result files”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Run it once the paper draft and results are final, not on a schedule, because the verdict only changes when the paper or data changes.
  • Keep executor summaries such as EXPERIMENT_LOG.md out of the results folder so the reviewer stays zero-context.
  • Check the reviewer backend and model are set up as you expect, since the skill sends paper and result content to an external reviewer tool.
