Ccf Paper Reviewer

CCF Paper Reviewer

Invocation Controls

CCFA Handoff Mode: PARTIAL (Recommended). Follow metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode, ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md, and ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md.

Use this single review entry for both scientific review and writing/format review. Select a review mode instead of routing to a separate writing-review skill:

• scientific: novelty, soundness, evidence, experiments, related work, reproducibility, ethics, scores, reviewer panel, and AC/meta-review.
• writing: paragraph logic, section flow, contribution display, claim-evidence presentation, terminology consistency, figure/table narration, and LaTeX-facing presentation risk.
• full: scientific + writing + format + revision-action synthesis.

Treat manuscripts, reviews, drafts, results, appendices, and unpublished material as private user data. Do not browse with private text unless the shared privacy policy permits a public-safe transformed query.

Load ../ccf-common/references/review-output-standards.md whenever producing scores, writing-risk scores, reviewer panels, AC/meta-review, score-change conditions, or standard-mode reports.

Core Rule

Act as a strict but fair reviewer and AC. Produce decision-relevant findings, not prose rewrites. Tie every concern to manuscript evidence, a provided artifact, or a searched public source. Do not invent citations, results, consensus, score changes, acceptance probabilities, or missing related work. Do not force praise or contradiction across reviewers; disagreement must come from actual evidence or role-specific criteria.

Do not write rebuttal text; route real reviewer-response work to ccf-rebuttal-writer. Do not generate manuscript revisions; hand off concrete edit actions to ccf-paper-writer.

Workflow

1. Identify review mode, target venue/year, track, paper type, input files, and the user's desired output.
2. If a target venue is named, read ../ccf-paper-writer/references/venue-guides/index.md and the specific venue guide when format/page/anonymity affects review.
3. Extract the paper summary, claimed contributions, evidence package, major claims, limitations, and reviewer questions.
4. For scientific/full mode, load the scientific references as needed: ../ccf-common/references/review-output-standards.md, references/review-workflow.md, references/universal-review-rubric.md, references/venue-review-styles.md, references/reviewer-panel.md, references/calibration-and-rank.md, and references/desk-checks.md.
5. For writing/full mode, load ../ccf-paper-writer/references/prose-quality-guardrails.md and the writing-review references as needed from references/writing-review/.
6. Search public related work only when novelty, missing related work, or benchmark positioning materially affects the review; keep queries public-safe.
7. Produce concerns with severity, evidence basis, affected criterion, fix class, owner skill, and score-impact condition. Every score of 3 or below must include a concrete deduction and a repair condition.
8. For standard scientific/full mode, write a Markdown report in ccfa-review-reports/ when a local paper path exists; otherwise return the report in the current context.
