Review Cluster

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Review Cluster skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Review Cluster is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Science & Research category.

Deliver a mid-draft adversarial review of a paper — runs paper-critic + domain-reviewer + claim-verify + blindspot in parallel, optionally adds clarity-reviewer, then auto-synthesises into a prioritised revision plan. Use when the user requests a mid-draft adversarial review of a paper — runs paper-critic + domain-reviewer + claim-verify + blindspot in parallel, optionally adds clarity-reviewer, then auto-synthesises into a prioritised revision plan. Distinct from pre-submission-report (final-gate kitchen sink, 14 checks) — this is the active-drafting feedback loop. Triggers: 'review my draft', 'adversarial review', 'cluster review', 'mid-draft critique', 'feedback before pre-submission'.

How Review Cluster fits the catalog

Review Cluster sits in the Science & Research category under the research-methods sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

Is Review Cluster safe to install?

A free static scan against the OWASP Agentic Skills Top 10 found no risk patterns in Review Cluster’s SKILL.md — no data-exfiltration, prompt-injection, or unexpected-execution signatures. The full security scan is below.

Installing & verifying

Installing Review Cluster writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/review-cluster/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — review-cluster should appear by name.

What Review Cluster needs to run

External services: The SKILL.md references pricing, quota, or rate limits — it likely calls a paid or rate-limited API. Check the source before wiring it into unattended automation.
Scope discipline: Declares explicit “when not to use” boundaries — safer than average to hand to an autonomous agent, which is less likely to over-apply it.
Worked code: 4 copy-paste code blocks in the body.
Depth: ~2,350 words, substantial — top of the catalog distribution.

When to reach for it

There are 10 related skills in Science & Research — a two-minute scan of the alternatives usually confirms whether Review Cluster is the right pick.

What this skill does

Review Cluster is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/review-cluster/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user requests a mid-draft adversarial review of a paper — runs paper-critic + domain-reviewer + claim-verify + blindspot in parallel, optionally adds clarity-reviewer, then auto-synthesises into a prioritised revision plan. Distinct from pre-submission-report (final-gate kitchen sink, 14 checks) — this is the active-drafting feedback loop.

Who uses this skill

The Review Cluster Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 184,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
