research-review

Get a deep critical review of research from Claude via claude-review MCP. Use when user says "review my research", "help me review", "get external review", or wants critical feedback on research ideas, papers, or experimental results.

Quality

Content

61%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A thorough, well-structured workflow with concrete MCP calls and prompt templates, weakened by duplicated polling boilerplate and a missing error-recovery path for iterative batch review jobs.

Suggestions

De-duplicate the 'save the returned jobId and poll mcp__claude-review__review_status with a bounded waitSeconds until done=true' instruction shared by Steps 2 and 3 by extracting it once into a shared 'Polling' subsection.

Add an explicit failure-recovery step for review jobs (e.g., if status stays non-done past a timeout, retry, check the server log, or surface the error) so the batch workflow has a true validate->fix->retry loop.

Replace placeholder-laden code blocks with at least one fully copy-paste-ready example (concrete waitSeconds value, a real prompt skeleton) or clearly label them as templates.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is mostly efficient with clear headers and terse rules, but the cross-family independence framing is repeated in two blockquotes and the 'save jobId and poll ... until done=true' instruction is duplicated verbatim across Steps 2 and 3, plus trailing explanatory commentary that could be trimmed.

3 / 5

Actionability

It provides concrete MCP tool names, an install command, and detailed prompt templates with example text, but the code blocks contain placeholders like '[Full research context + specific questions]' and '/absolute/path/to/file1' and leave the poll 'waitSeconds' value unspecified, so they are not fully copy-paste ready.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clear 6-step sequence with poll-until-done checkpoints and explicit convergence criteria exists, but for an iterative batch-review operation there is no failure-recovery loop (what to do if a job never reaches done=true), and the rubric caps batch-operation workflows lacking validation feedback loops at 3.

3 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is well sectioned (Constants, Prerequisites, Workflow, Key Rules, Prompt Templates) and signals one-level-deep references to output-composition.md and review-tracing.md via markdown links, with no bundle files present; the minor gap is that the prompt templates are inlined rather than split into a separate file.

Description

86%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A well-constructed description with explicit what-and-when framing and strong natural trigger phrases; its only real limitation is that it describes essentially one action rather than a comprehensive set of specific capabilities.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

The description names the domain (research/papers/experiments) and one concrete action ('Get a deep critical review of research'), but it is a single core action rather than several specific operations, so it stops at '1-2 concrete actions, not comprehensive' rather than reaching the several-actions level.

3 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' ('Get a deep critical review of research from Claude via claude-review MCP') and 'when' ('Use when user says ... or wants critical feedback on research ideas, papers, or experimental results') with concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It lists natural phrases users would actually say ('review my research', 'help me review', 'get external review') plus synonyms ('critical feedback on research ideas, papers, or experimental results'), giving comprehensive coverage of natural terms.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear niche (external critical research review via a specific MCP) with distinct triggers, but 'review' is a common verb that could marginally overlap with general code-review skills, so it is mostly distinct rather than minimal-risk.
