Multi-perspective academic paper review with dynamic reviewer personas. Runs a 5-seat, role-separated review panel (Journal-Fit Reviewer + 3 peer-review roles + Devil's Advocate) with field-specific expertise; role separation is not a claim of independent error processes. Supports full review, re-review (verification), quick assessment, methodology focus, Socratic guided, and calibration modes. Triggers on: review paper, peer review, manuscript review, referee report, review my paper, critique paper, simulate review, editorial review, calibrate reviewer, reviewer calibration, measure reviewer accuracy, 審查論文, 論文審查, 模擬審查, 同儕審查, 幫我審這篇, 以審查人角度評估, 審查者校準, 논문 심사, 동료 심사, 모의 심사, 심사자 관점에서 평가, 심사자 보정.

Academic Paper Reviewer v1.11.1 — Multi-Perspective Academic Paper Review Agent Team

Simulates a complete international journal peer review process: automatically identifies the paper's field, dynamically configures 4 card-backed identities (Journal-Fit Reviewer + 3 peer reviewers), and adds the fixed Devil's Advocate as the fifth execution seat. The five role-separated perspectives cover journal fit, methodology, domain expertise, cross-disciplinary viewpoints, and core argument challenges; a separate editorial synthesizer produces the structured Editorial Decision and Revision Roadmap.

v1.1 Improvements:

  1. Added Devil's Advocate Reviewer — specifically challenges core arguments, detects logical fallacies, and identifies the strongest counter-arguments
  2. Added re-review mode — verification review, focused on checking whether revisions address the review comments
  3. Expanded review team from 4 to 5 members
Routing discipline (v3.9.2): see .claude/CLAUDE.md "Routing Discipline (v3.9.2)" + shared/references/intent_clarification_protocol.md for cross-skill routing rules. This skill assumes routing has already settled — ambiguous cross-phase materials should have been clarified upstream.

Quick Start

Simplest command:

Review this paper: [paste paper or provide file]

Output:

  1. Automatically identifies the paper's field and methodology type
  2. Dynamically configures four card-backed reviewer identities; the fixed Devil's Advocate is the fifth execution seat
  3. 5 role-separated review reports (4 configuration cards plus the fixed Devil's Advocate, with typed execution provenance)
  4. 1 Editorial Decision Letter + Revision Roadmap

Spectrum (v3.2): fidelity = template-heavy, predictable output; balanced = default; originality = exploratory, template-light. See shared/mode_spectrum.md for the full cross-skill spectrum table.

Not sure? Use full for pre-submission review, re-review for post-revision verification. Current live reviews and Schema 6 packages declare NOT_CALIBRATED; a full-tier calibration run may produce a bounded candidate profile, but live-profile application remains unavailable until its closed artifact and replay validator ship. calibration is opt-in: its default full tier measures bounded decision-level FNR/FPR, while the explicitly selected 3-paper directional tier gives only a low-cost Minor/Major boundary signal and remains NOT_CALIBRATED.

Role-name compatibility (#611): the public display name is Journal-Fit Reviewer. The stable implementation identifiers remain eic_agent (agent), eic (contract_role / dispatch role), and EIC (serialized reviewer/source ID, including EIC-W<n>). Those compatibility tokens do not select a Stage 3' agent file: editorial_synthesizer_agent emits first-round decisions, while contract-governed re-review uses its three dedicated calls and checker-derived outcome.


Orchestration Workflow (3 Phases)

User: "Review this paper"
|
=== Phase 0: FIELD ANALYSIS & PERSONA CONFIGURATION ===
|
+-> [field_analyst_agent] -> Reviewer Configuration Card (x4)
- Reads the complete paper
- Identifies: primary discipline, secondary discipline, research paradigm, methodology type, target journal tier, paper maturity
- Dynamically generates specific identities for 4 card-backed reviewers:
* Journal-Fit Reviewer (internal `EIC`): which journal/editor perspective, area of expertise, review preferences
* Reviewer 1 (Methodology): Methodological expertise, what they particularly focus on
* Reviewer 2 (Domain): Domain expertise, research interests
* Reviewer 3 (Perspective): Cross-disciplinary angle, what unique perspective they bring
- The fifth execution seat is the fixed Devil's Advocate, which receives no dynamic configuration card
|
** Presents Reviewer Configuration to user for confirmation (adjustable) **
|
=== Phase 1: PARALLEL MULTI-PERSPECTIVE REVIEW ===
|
|-> [eic_agent] -------> Journal-Fit Review Report
| - Journal fit, originality, significance, relevance to readership
| - Does not go deep into methodology (that's Reviewer 1's job)
| - One role-separated card among five — no peer-output channel before commitment (Iron Rule #2)
|
|-> [methodology_reviewer_agent] -> Methodology Review Report
| - Research design rigor, sampling strategy, data collection
| - Analysis method selection, statistical validity, effect sizes
| - Reproducibility, data transparency
|
|-> [domain_reviewer_agent] -------> Domain Review Report
| - Literature review completeness, theoretical framework appropriateness
| - Academic argument accuracy, incremental contribution to the field
| - Missing key references
|
|-> [perspective_reviewer_agent] --> Perspective Review Report
| - Cross-disciplinary connections and borrowing opportunities
| - Practical applications and policy implications
| - Broader social or ethical implications
|
+-> [devils_advocate_reviewer_agent] --> Devil's Advocate Report
- Core argument challenges (strongest counter-arguments)
- Cherry-picking detection
- Confirmation bias detection
- Logic chain validation
- Overgeneralization detection
- Alternative paths analysis
- Stakeholder blind spots
- "So what?" test
|
=== Phase 2: EDITORIAL SYNTHESIS & DECISION ===
|
+-> [editorial_synthesizer_agent] -> Editorial Decision Package
- Consolidates 5 reports (including Devil's Advocate challenges)
- Identifies consensus (5 agree) vs. disagreement (divergent opinions)
- Arbitration and argumentation for disputed issues
- Devil's Advocate CRITICAL issues are specially flagged in the Editorial Decision
- Editorial Decision Letter
- Immutable non-ranking Revision Roadmap core (directly consumed with a separate explicit author sidecar)
|
=== Phase 2.5: REVISION COACHING (Socratic Revision Guidance) ===
|
** Only triggered when Decision = Minor/Major Revision **
|
+-> [eic_agent] guides the user through Socratic dialogue:
1. Overall positioning — "After reading the review comments, what surprised you the most?"
2. Core issue focus — Guides user to understand consensus issues
3. Contribution framing probe — ask the Layer-5 later-stage anchored forms
L5-W1 / L5-W2 / L5-W3 (single-sourced under Layer 5 in
deep-research/agents/socratic_mentor_agent.md — read the question text
there), anchored to what the manuscript already claims ("the revised
paper"). Questions only — never propose, substitute, rank, expand, or
select a contribution claim (Kong L2 verb test); the user answers.
4. Explicit author triage — records `will_address`, `wont_address`, or `not_on_point` for every source-ordered item, with no inferred work order
5. Counter-argument response — Guides user to think about how to respond to Devil's Advocate challenges
6. Implementation planning — confirms exact block/operation scope and any registered-claim or declined-overlap authorization
|
+-> After dialogue ends, produces:
- User's self-formulated revision strategy
- Immutable Roadmap unchanged + complete `author-adjudication/1.0` sidecar
|
** User can say "just fix it" to skip guidance **
