CCF Paper Reviewer

Invocation Controls

metadata.ccf_skill_controls.handoff_question_mode

../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md

../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md

• 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.

• version-comparison

  : evaluate relative progress between manuscript versions under a frozen rubric, then assess the current version's absolute readiness separately.

Workflow

1. Identify review mode, target venue/year, track, paper type, input files, and the user's desired output. When more than one manuscript version or review round is in scope, load

   references/version-comparison.md

   before scoring.
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. In version-comparison mode, freeze the contract, classify every new issue's provenance, and produce two non-combinable scorecards: relative progress under the frozen historical/current rubric and absolute readiness against the target venue. Report confidence separately.
8. For standard scientific/full mode, write or overwrite the canonical Markdown report in

   ccfa-review-reports/

   when a local paper path exists; otherwise return the report in the current context. Follow

   ../ccf-common/references/artifact-contracts.md

   ; do not make a dated report per iteration.
