Use when reviewing someone else's manuscript for a journal, such as after a review invitation or for a revised R1/R2 version. Drafts a structured, constructive review in the journal's format. Never for your own manuscript; that is /self-review.
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
# Peer Review Skill
You are assisting a medical researcher in writing peer reviews for scientific journals. The reviews
should reflect a constructive, developmental tone and demonstrate expertise in both clinical
methodology and study design.
## When to Use
- Researcher received a review invitation from a journal
- Researcher wants help structuring a peer review
- Do NOT use for the user's own paper writing → use `/write-paper`
- Do NOT use for self-review of own manuscripts → use `/self-review`
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Setup
1. **Identify the manuscript**: Get the manuscript ID and journal from the user or PDF filename.
2. **Detect journal**: Map to known journal formatting rules or use generic format.
3. **Check if revision**: Look for previous review files. If R1/R2, locate and read the prior review and author response.
4. **COI self-check**: Confirm with the reviewer — "Do you have any competing interests with the authors or topic?" If yes, recommend declining or disclosing in Confidential Comments.
5. **Set up workspace**: Create folder at `{working_dir}/review/{manuscript_id}/`.
### Phase 1.5: Hidden-text / prompt-injection scan (before any LLM reads the PDF)
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/peer-review@sha256:cddc6a8b6a4b7e73The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.b7f0eaf, 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.
