paper-autoraters — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited paper-autoraters (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Faithful implementation of the four LLM-as-judge autoraters used in PaperOrchestra (Song et al., 2026, arXiv:2604.05018, §5 and App. F.3).
These are the metrics the paper uses to demonstrate that PaperOrchestra beats single-agent and AI-Scientist-v2 baselines. Use them to:
| Autorater | What it does | Inputs | Output | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citation F1 — P0/P1 partition | Partitions reference list into P0 (must-cite) and P1 (good-to-cite) given the paper text | one paper text + its references list | JSON `{ref_num: "P0"\ | "P1"}` |
| Literature Review Quality | 6-axis 0-100 score for Intro+Related Work, with anti-inflation hard caps | one paper PDF/text + reference avg citation count | JSON with axis_scores, penalties, summary, overall_score | |
| SxS Overall Paper Quality | Holistic side-by-side preference judgment | two papers (PDF or text) | JSON with winner ∈ {paper_1, paper_2, tie} | |
| SxS Literature Review Quality | Side-by-side preference, Intro+Related Work only | two papers | JSON with winner ∈ {paper_1, paper_2, tie} |
The paper uses Gemini-3.1-Pro and GPT-5 as judges, set to temperature 0.0 (Gemini) or default 1.0 (GPT-5, which doesn't allow temperature adjustment). Use whatever your host LLM is.
This is a two-step procedure:
#### Step 1: Partition the reference lists into P0 / P1
For both the ground-truth paper AND the generated paper, run the LLM with references/citation-f1-prompt.md:
inputs:
paper_text: full paper LaTeX or markdown
references_str: numbered reference list (e.g., "1. Vaswani et al. (2017)
Attention Is All You Need. NeurIPS. 2. He et al. (2016)
Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition. CVPR. ...")
output: JSON {"1": "P0", "2": "P1", "3": "P0", ...}Save both partitions:
bench/<paper_id>/gt_partition.jsonbench/<paper_id>/gen_partition.json#### Step 2: Resolve references to entity IDs and compute F1
The paper uses Semantic Scholar paper IDs to match references between the two lists. The compute_f1.py script does this deterministically given two input lists:
python skills/paper-autoraters/scripts/compute_f1.py \
--gt-partition gt_partition.json \
--gt-refs gt_refs.json \
--gen-partition gen_partition.json \
--gen-refs gen_refs.json \
--out f1_report.jsonWhere gt_refs.json and gen_refs.json are lists of {ref_num, paper_id, title} produced by your host's S2-resolution pass (the same fuzzy match + S2 verification used by literature-review-agent/scripts/).
Output JSON contains P0 / P1 / overall Precision, Recall, F1.
Load references/litreview-quality-prompt.md. Inputs:
avg_citation_count for the venue/field (used as the baseline forcitation count anchoring, e.g., 58.52 for CVPR 2025, 59.18 for ICLR 2025 per the paper)
The prompt instructs the model to evaluate ONLY the literature-review function of the paper (Introduction + Related Work / Background sections). It produces a strict JSON output with per-axis scores and justifications.
Critical anti-inflation rules baked into the prompt:
| Rule | Cap |
|---|---|
| Default expectation | overall 45-70 |
| > 85 requires strong evidence on ALL axes | — |
| > 90 extremely rare (near-survey-level mastery) | — |
| Any axis < 50 → overall rarely > 75 | — |
| Mostly descriptive review | Critical Analysis ≤ 60 |
| Novelty asserted without comparison | Positioning ≤ 60 |
| Sparse/inconsistent citations | Citation Rigor ≤ 60 |
| Citation count < 50% of avg | Coverage ≤ 55 |
| Citation count > 120% of avg | Coverage = "strong" |
Plus penalty table:
| Penalty | Range |
|---|---|
| Overclaiming novelty | -5 to -15 |
| Missing key recent work | -5 to -15 |
| Mostly descriptive review | -5 to -10 |
| Weak gap statements | -5 to -10 |
| Citation dumping | -5 to -10 |
Save the output to litreview_quality_score.json. The score JSON is the same shape used by content-refinement-agent/scripts/score_delta.py, so you can re-use the halt-rule logic to compare iterations.
Load references/sxs-paper-quality-prompt.md. Inputs:
paper_1 and paper_2)The prompt produces a JSON with paper_1_holistic_analysis, paper_2_holistic_analysis, comparison_justification, and winner ∈ {paper_1, paper_2, tie}.
To mitigate LLM positional bias (the paper notes this in §5.4), run the comparison twice with the order swapped:
call_1: paper_A → paper_1, paper_B → paper_2 → winner1
call_2: paper_B → paper_1, paper_A → paper_2 → winner2Final outcome: a win (both calls agree on paper A), tie (one win + one tie, or two ties), or loss (both agree on paper B). The paper uses this exact ordering protocol.
Load references/sxs-litreview-prompt.md. Same input/output shape as the SxS paper quality autorater, but the model is instructed to evaluate only the Introduction and Related Work / Background sections of each paper. Same positional-bias mitigation: run twice, swap order.
