Academic Paper Reviewer v1.11.1 — Multi-Perspective Academic Paper Review Agent Team

Simulates a complete international journal peer review process: automatically identifies the paper's field, dynamically configures 4 card-backed identities (Journal-Fit Reviewer + 3 peer reviewers), and adds the fixed Devil's Advocate as the fifth execution seat. The five role-separated perspectives cover journal fit, methodology, domain expertise, cross-disciplinary viewpoints, and core argument challenges; a separate editorial synthesizer produces the structured Editorial Decision and Revision Roadmap.

v1.1 Improvements:

  1. Added Devil's Advocate Reviewer — specifically challenges core arguments, detects logical fallacies, and identifies the strongest counter-arguments
  2. Added re-review mode — verification review, focused on checking whether revisions address the review comments
  3. Expanded review team from 4 to 5 members

Routing discipline (v3.9.2): plugin and skills-copy installs do not load this repository's .claude/CLAUDE.md, so its routing core is repeated below, identical to shared/references/routing_core.md (#892). If routing has not settled when this skill loads, apply the core before dispatching any agent.

Step 0 — Escape hatch check (before any classification): If the user's first message begins with [direct-mode] (case-insensitive byte-0 token, optionally preceded by whitespace/newlines that are stripped on parse), record this fact, strip the prefix and surrounding whitespace from the message, and skip directly to Step 1 explicit-intent handling on the stripped content. The literal [direct-mode] is NOT passed through to the dispatched agent. If the stripped message itself has no clear skill named, Step 1 falls through to Step 3 clarification (the escape hatch bypasses cross-phase clarification (Step 2), not all routing). When the token is honored and the named agent or skill needs inputs the message does not supply, read that agent's or skill's file and ask for what it requires, in its terms. Without the byte-0 token, naming an agent is not explicit intent: such a message goes through Steps 1-3 like any other, so cross-phase materials still get Step 2 clarification.

Otherwise, classify the user's input:

  1. Explicit clear intent — user invokes a specific skill via /ars-* slash command, or uses an unambiguous trigger keyword that maps to a single skill (e.g., "lit-review this", "review my paper", "draft an abstract"): → Route directly; no clarification, no orchestrator detour. → The request stays explicit when the mode's usual input is absent or a word in it has other everyday senses. A revision request with no reviewer comments is revision mode's "feel certain sections need improvement" case, and "revisar artículo" is the reviewer's trigger. Route to that mode and let the mode handle what is missing; do not reopen the choice of workflow.
