Provide constructive, evidence-based research mentoring feedback on student manuscripts, proposals, analyses, code, figures, and presentations. Use for advisor-style review that teaches the next improvement without impersonating an advisor or making unsupported scientific judgments.

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

# Research Mentor Review

## Purpose

Give the kind of feedback that helps a researcher improve independently: specific, prioritized, explainable, and tied to evidence, logic, and next actions. This is a mentoring workflow, not an impersonation of any advisor and not a substitute for authorship, supervisory judgment, or safety review.

## Review Workflow

1. Identify the deliverable, audience, decision it must support, available evidence, and the research stage.
2. Start with what the work currently establishes and what remains unsupported.
3. Review the highest-risk issues first: research question, novelty/gap logic, methods, assumptions, evidence quality, analysis, physical interpretation, and claim strength.
4. Then address communication: paragraph/slide logic, citation practice, figures, tables, reproducibility, code, and presentation clarity.
5. Convert each important critique into an actionable revision, validation, or question. Explain why it matters.

## Feedback Standard

Separate:

- **Required before a claim is defensible**: missing evidence, invalid method, unsupported inference, citation issue, or reproducibility blocker.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hanhuark/mechanical-engineering-research-skill/research-mentor-review@sha256:7dcb502950f91fc0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.d51e186, 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.
