Is the Research Paper Review skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from BESSER-PEARL/research-agent-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Research Paper Review SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Research Paper Review?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Research Paper Review with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Fed both a baseline reviewer and the skill the same synthetic 'FastCache' mini-paper seeded with 4 deliberate inconsistencies; the unguided baseline caught none of them, the skill's Step-3 numerical-check caught all 4 (abstract's 35% vs. results' 28%/41%, 120 vs. 150 devices, a Figure 2 that doesn't exist, a Table 2 marked 'not shown') and produced the mandated Strengths/Weaknesses/Top-10 template.

What Research Paper Review does

Guides a systematic review of an academic paper (PDF/LaTeX/text): venue and paper-type calibration, a structured summary, a dedicated numerical/statistical consistency check (cross-referencing text vs. tables vs. figures, dangling citations/refs), weighted critical analysis, and a fixed feedback template ending in a top-10 prioritized action list. Triggers on paper review, pre-submission feedback, methodology critique, and literature comparison requests.
