SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps reviewers systematically evaluate scientific work for methodological soundness, statistical validity, reproducibility, ethical compliance, figure/data integrity, and reporting completeness.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end peer review workflow covering initial assessment through final checklist.
  • Structured critique categories for major/minor comments and optional targeted line-by-line feedback.
  • Statistical and methodological rigor review including common pitfalls like p-hacking, inappropriate tests, missing power analysis, and pseudoreplication.
  • Reporting guideline alignment by referencing discipline-appropriate standards (e.g., CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA).
  • Figure and research integrity checks including common data presentation and image integrity red flags.
  • Ethics and transparency verification focusing on approvals, data/code availability, and reproducibility practices.

Quick Start

Use the peer-review skill to review a submitted manuscript section-by-section and produce a structured report with major comments, minor comments, and a clear recommendation.
