reviewing-ai-papers SKILL.md skillA
reviewing-ai-papers from oaustegard/claude-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/reviewing-ai-papers@v0.4.0Pins v0.4.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Analyzes an AI/ML publication — paper, preprint, article, technical blog post — and extracts what an enterprise AI engineer should do about it. Use when someone supplies a URL or document on RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, agents, or LLM deployment and asks "review this paper", "what do you make of this", "is this worth adopting", or "summarise the method and its limits". The subject matter must itself be machine learning.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Reviewing AI Papers When users request analysis of AI/ML technical content (papers, articles, blog posts), extract actionable insights filtered through an enterprise AI engineering lens and store valuable discoveries to memory for cross-session recall. ## When NOT to use this skill The subject matter has to be machine learning. Adjacent asks that are not: | Situation | Use | |---|---| | "Does this text read as AI-written?" | declauding | | Register or voice pass on a draft | declauding | | Review a pull request or a diff | code-review | | A paper outside ML | read it directly; this skill's lens will not fit | "AI" appearing in the request is not the trigger — AI being the *topic of the document* is. ## Contextual Priorities **Technical Architecture:** - RAG systems (semantic/lexical search, hybrid retrieval) - Vector database optimization and embedding strategies - Model fine-tuning for specialized scientific domains - Knowledge distillation for secure on-premise deployment **Implementation & Operations:** - Prompt engineering and in-context learning techniques - Security and IP protection in AI systems - Scientific accuracy and hallucination mitigation …

How to install
mdr add oaustegard/claude-skills/reviewing-ai-papers@sha256:0127ca2c5a4effb0The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
