Provides a pre-submission manuscript audit covering argument, numerical consistency, references and DOIs, writing, figures, CONSORT flow, pre-registration, and the replication archive. Use before paper submission or when a draft needs an adversarial, quote-grounded review with a journal-readiness checklist. Add `--codex` to run the specification independently on Claude and Codex, GPT-6 Astra, and cross-check findings.

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

# Paper Pre-Submission Review (Lite)

Use a new output path or directory for each run; preserve earlier results and existing user edits.

## Heritage and scope

An 11-sub-agent pre-submission review that runs inside a Claude Code session — no extra install, billable against your Claude Code plan. Nine parallel dimension agents find issues, two cross-checkers verify each finding against the manuscript before it reaches the report, and the orchestrator synthesizes. This is the Claude-Code-native counterpart to [`presubmit`](https://github.com/scdenney/presubmit), our port of the [reviewer2](https://github.com/isitcredible/reviewer2) adversarial peer-review pipeline, and it inherits that lineage's two commitments: a critical-reviewer posture, and a verification cascade that drops any finding not pinned to a quoted passage. It is the fast in-flow check, not the full pipeline — see the last section for when to reach for `presubmit` instead. The claim ledger, the burden rule, the robustness-sentence check, and Agent 10's two-direction check are adapted from the same author's successor suite, [`research_skills`](https://github.com/isitcredible/research_skills) (MIT); the target-parameter

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/paper-review-lite@sha256:74fb2cc8f03cb1f0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.910eafe, 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.
