Run a pre-submission manuscript audit covering argument, numerics, references, writing, figures, methods, preregistration, and replication readiness. Add --codex for a cross-model pass in which Codex and Claude review independently and verify each other's 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-subagent pre-submission review that runs inside a Codex session with no extra review tool to install. Nine parallel dimension agents find issues, two cross-checkers verify each finding against the manuscript before it reaches the report, and the lead synthesizes. This is the Codex-native counterpart to [`presubmit`](https://github.com/scdenney/presubmit), itself descended from 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 check, the cheap-shot test, and… …

How to install
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/paper-review-lite@sha256:035e3e78c6bd6a6fThe 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.
