# Journal Article Peer Review ## Heritage and scope This is the in-session, Claude-Code-native referee-drafting tool. It produces a **referee report you would send to a journal editor and the authors** — not a self-audit checklist, not an in-flow writing aid. Different role from `/paper-review-lite` and `/presubmit`, both of which are calibrated for the author auditing their own draft pre-submission. The eight-agent design is adapted from the [`presubmit`](https://github.com/scdenney/presubmit) pipeline (itself a port of `reviewer2` / isitcredible.com, Apache-2.0). Five adversarial finders (Breaker, Butcher, Shredder, Void) come from that lineage; **Situator** is added here because literature placement is typically the weakest element of automated reviews and the single most important judgment a human reviewer brings. Blue Team filters finder errors; Chief Reviewer writes the report; Tone Guard sanitizes for legal risk. ## What this produces A markdown referee report with these sections: 1. **Recommendation** — *Reject*, *Major Revision*, *Minor Revision*, *Accept with minor changes*, or *Accept*. 2. **Summary** — one tight paragraph summarizing the claim and the design (not the cr

What does the journal-review skill do?
Draft a senior peer-review report on a social-science manuscript.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill journal-review --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
