Individual skill
tooluniverse-scientific-peer-review
Review scientific manuscripts, abstracts, methods, statistical analyses, results, discussions, protocols, and experimental designs using calibrated rubrics and prioritized revision advice. Use for journal-style peer review, study-design scoring, methodology or statistics critique, novelty and literature-context assessment, interpretation checks, scientific writing review, reproducibility review, ethics screening, protocol optimization, or a combined manuscript review. This is the host-agent replacement for the corresponding ToolUniverse AgenticTool reviewers and does not require a ToolUniverse backend LLM API.

# Scientific Peer Review
Perform the review in the host agent. Do not call the legacy AgenticTool reviewers unless the user explicitly requests legacy/backend execution.
## Workflow
1. Identify the material supplied and the review dimensions requested.
2. Identify the study design. Read [references/study-design-guides.md](references/study-design-guides.md) when design-specific checks apply.
3. Read [references/review-rubrics.md](references/review-rubrics.md) and apply only the relevant rubrics.
4. Separate text-grounded assessment from claims requiring external verification.
5. Assess each requested criterion, cite concrete evidence from the supplied material, and propose actionable revisions.
6. Synthesize the highest-impact issues instead of returning disconnected rubric scores.
