Review Manuscripts With Multi-Perspective Critique

0June 2026

7-agent review panel with 6 modes for peer review simulation, methodology focus, and reviewer calibration.

What problem does this solve?

Simulates rigorous peer review with multiple reviewer perspectives (Editor-in-Chief + 3 domain reviewers + Devil's Advocate) instead of single-agent feedback, so you get cross-disciplinary critique with 0-100 quality rubric scoring before human reviewers see your work. It produces editorial decisions, revision roadmaps, and re-review verification so you can iterate on acceptance criteria instead of guessing what reviewers want.

How does it work?

Once set up, run /ars-reviewer to trigger full review: (1) EIC reads paper and creates editorial framing, (2) Field analyst auto-detects research domain and configures 3 field-adaptive reviewers (methodology, domain, interdisciplinary), (3) Each reviewer commits scoring plan (Schema 13 Sprint Contract, paper-content-blind Phase 1) before reading the paper (Phase 2), (4) Reviews with 0-100 rubric on internal validity / external validity / contribution (decision mapping: ≥80 Accept, 65-79 Minor Revision, 50-64 Major Revision, <50 Reject), (5) Devil's Advocate challenges thesis with concession-threshold protocol (rebuttals scored 1-5, concede only ≥4, no frame-lock), (6) Editorial Synthesizer runs three-step mechanical protocol (build matrix, evaluate with panel-relative quantifier, resolve by severity precedence). Other modes: /ars-reviewer quick (EIC quick assessment), /ars-reviewer methodology (in-depth methods review), /ars-reviewer guided (Socratic issue-by-issue dialogue), /ars-reviewer re-review (post-revision verification), /ars-reviewer calibrate (measure reviewer accuracy against user-supplied gold set).

What's required to run this?

Optional ARS_CROSS_MODEL activates GPT-5.4 Pro or Gemini 3.1 Pro for cross-model DA critique and independent integrity sample checks. Calibration mode accepts user-supplied gold set (20+ examples recommended, FNR<0.15 + FPR<0.10 threshold). Schema 13 Sprint Contract validates with scripts/check_sprint_contract.py (9 soft warnings + structural invariants). Reviewer templates ship for full (panel 5) and methodology-focus (panel 2); modes re-review, guided, calibration, quick retain pre-v3.6.2 behavior.

Key Features

6 review modes

full (5 reviews + decision + roadmap), re-review (verification checklist + residual issues), quick (EIC fast assessment), methodology-focus (in-depth methods critique), guided (Socratic issue dialogue), calibration (FNR/FPR/AUC measurement + confidence disclosure)

7-agent ensemble

field_analyst_agent (domain auto-detect), eic_agent, methodology_reviewer_agent, domain_reviewer_agent, perspective_reviewer_agent, devils_advocate_reviewer_agent (with concession-threshold + frame-lock detection), editorial_synthesizer_agent (3-step mechanical protocol + forbidden-ops list)

Sprint Contract + two-phase review

Reviewers commit scoring plan paper-content-blind (Phase 1) before seeing manuscript (Phase 2) via Schema 13 contract. Prevents post-hoc rubric shopping. Synthesizer runs mechanical protocol (no subjective re-weighting).

Concession threshold + attack intensity

Devil's Advocate scores rebuttals 1-5; concedes only ≥4. No consecutive concessions. Concession rate tracking + frame-lock detection after each checkpoint. Attack softens under pushback? Detected and held.

R&R Traceability Matrix (Schema 11)

Re-review output includes Author's Claim + Verified? columns for every revision claim, enabling independent verification of what the author actually fixed vs. claimed to fix.
