Academic Paper Review Skill

Overview

This skill produces structured, peer-review-quality analyses of academic papers and research publications. It follows established academic review standards used by top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ACL, Nature, IEEE) to provide rigorous, constructive, and balanced assessments.

The review covers summary, strengths, weaknesses, methodology assessment, contribution evaluation, literature positioning, and actionable recommendations — all grounded in evidence from the paper itself.
