Planted two false claims in a throwaway mini-paper (a swapped sin/cos derivative, and a 40%-relative-improvement headline that SymPy/arithmetic actually put at 23.1%) — a generic review pass praised both as sound, the skill's real INVENTORY-to-REPORT protocol caught both with executed, reproducible scripts and correctly left the one true claim alone. Its own 'Tier discipline' section requires .claude/rules/review-tiers.md and ../findings-ledger/SKILL.md, both siblings outside the skill folder that a plain git-clone-and-cp of just this directory will not bring along.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 10/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Adversarial Claims Reviewer does

Inventories every equation and quantitative claim in a technical document, verifies each exactly as named (never a paraphrase) with deterministic scripts (SymPy/numpy), and classifies VERIFIED/REFUTED/UNVERIFIABLE/VACUOUS. Triggers on requests to check a paper, verify claims, or audit a derivation/benchmark; explicitly declines source-code review, security posture, and prose-quality scoring, which belong to sibling skills.

How to install Adversarial Claims Reviewer

git clone https://github.com/LazyIsEfficient/agentic-os
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r agentic-os/.claude/skills/adversarial-claims-reviewer ~/.claude/skills/adversarial-claims-reviewer

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Adversarial Claims Reviewer

  • /adversarial-claims-reviewer Hostile-referee review of papers/whitepapers that recomputes every equation and number with real scripts.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Can you check if the math in this paper's derivation is correct?
  • Verify these benchmark numbers in my whitepaper actually add up.
  • Recompute the equations in this draft and flag anything wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Adversarial Claims Reviewer skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from LazyIsEfficient/agentic-os. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
