Research Report Reviewer

Research Report Reviewer

Use this after a draft exists and before presenting research as final.

What to inspect

• the stated scope, question, exclusions, and any requested output format
• available structured artifacts such as sources.jsonl, claims.jsonl, guards.jsonl, delivery.json, source ledgers, analysis matrices, and report evidence mappings
• unsupported or weakly supported claims
• claims resting on sources that were read only in part, where the draft does not say so — silently truncated tool output, capped payloads, or a summary standing in for the full source make a claim unsupported, not merely thin
• missing dates or stale-time ambiguity
• scope drift relative to the original question
• places where observation and inference are blended together
• overconfident language that should be hedged or marked incomplete analysis
• whether prior posts, templates, style guides, or supplied examples were inspected before a format-matched draft
• whether the draft or workflow records an active writing-style profile from writing-style-settings.md, plus math-manuscript-style.md when applicable, including style_profile_ref, policy_hash, active_overlays, and active_requirement_ids
• whether style_applied: true is supported by workflow evidence rather than a bare self-assertion

Output contract

Start with a visible section titled Review Findings.

Then give:

• Verdict — BLOCK, FLAG, or PASS
• Findings — the highest-signal issues first
• Repairs — the minimum changes needed before delivery
• Style — missing or inconsistent style_profile_ref, policy_hash, active_overlays, active_requirement_ids, or style_applied records when relevant

If there are no issues, say so explicitly and keep the pass short.

Use references/reviewer-prompt.md as the detailed checklist.

Guardrails

• findings first, summary second
• focus on research quality, not copyediting
• prefer the smallest repair that makes the draft defensible
• if a gap cannot be closed, require explicit disclosure instead of pretending it is solved
• do not apply repairs, patch the reviewed report, create follow-on artifacts, or continue into remediation after a review-only request unless the user explicitly asks for those actions
