Use when writing a literature review article (narrative, scoping PRISMA-ScR or systematic). Scaffolds a 7-part skeleton with a scope and non-overlap statement, summary-table stubs and reporting-guideline wiring, without inventing citations. Original research is /write-paper.

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

# Review-Paper Skill

The review-article counterpart to `write-paper` (original research). For *reviewing* someone
else's review article, use `/peer-review` or `/self-review` (the RV1-RV9 probes) instead.

## Step 0 — Format + spine axis (the structure-determining choice)

1. Confirm **format** with the user: narrative (SANRA) | scoping (PRISMA-ScR + JBI) |
   systematic (PRISMA 2020). This decides the reporting guideline and the registration path.
2. Choose the **spine axis** — the single most consequential decision: organize the body by
   **modality** (e.g. 2D → 3D), by **task** (generation / QA / deployment), or by
   **lifecycle stage**. Every body section then follows this one axis; mixing axes is the
   most common structural failure.
3. Require a **scope statement + non-overlap boundary** against prior/adjacent reviews — this
   pre-empts the reviewer's first question, "why another review on this?" (user-approval
   checkpoint: confirm the boundary with the user before scaffolding).

## Step 1 — Scaffold the macro skeleton for the format

Load `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/macro_skeleton.md` and write the section for the chosen

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/review-paper@sha256:7ab68ea0c2ba9dc8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.a677d27, 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.
