# Paper Review ## Overview This skill runs a terminal, cross-cutting audit before submission. It is not a deep prose critic (that is `paper-writing`), not a statistical robustness reviewer (that is `robustness-checks`), not a reproducibility verifier (that is `replication-driven-research`).

What does the paper-review skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill paper-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 brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills, a repository with 3,244 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.
