    You say

    Screen this abstract for research-integrity red flags before I send it out for peer review: "In this work we apply counterfeit consciousness and profound learning to bosom malignancy classification. Across 10 patients, accuracy was 33.3% (p = 0.000). Our irregular woodland model bolsters the discoveries." Report any concerns with evidence and a concern level.

    Your agent does

    Overall concern level: HIGH (triage signal, not a determination).

    A. Tortured phrases (STRONG): "counterfeit consciousness" (artificial intelligence), "profound learning" (deep learning), "bosom malignancy" (breast cancer), "irregular woodland" (random forest). Four synonym-swapped technical terms; no innocent stylistic origin.

    C. Statistical impossibility (STRONG): "33.3% of 10 patients" is not achievable — 3/10 = 30%, 4/10 = 40%; no integer count yields 33.3% at N=10. "p = 0.000" reported without a bound. Innocent explanation: transcription/rounding error, but combination is implausible.

    Convergence: two STRONG, independent signal classes (A + C) → HIGH concern.

    Recommended next steps for a human reviewer: request the raw data and exact counts; confirm sample size; verify any cited references online; route to the editor/research-integrity office per venue policy.

    Disclaimer: This is an automated first-pass triage. It identifies signals, not misconduct, and may produce false positives. No statement asserts that any person engaged in fraud.

    About this skill

    Journals, universities, and research-integrity offices are being flooded with AI-generated and paper-mill submissions, and the available screening tools are still immature. This skill encodes the red flags that experienced integrity investigators look for and turns any compatible agent into a structured, evidence-cited first-pass screener.

    It runs six detector passes over a manuscript, abstract, or review report:

    A. Tortured phrases & lexical fingerprints — established technical terms mangled by synonym-swapping paraphrase tools (e.g., "counterfeit consciousness" for artificial intelligence). B. Citation fabrication & manipulation — hallucinated references, DOI/title mismatches, citation-content mismatches, and coercive self-citation patterns. C. Statistical & numerical impossibilities — GRIM/GRIMMER inconsistencies, impossible percentages, p-value vs test-statistic conflicts, and out-of-range effect sizes. D. Template & paper-mill fingerprints — shared skeletons with swapped topic nouns, placeholder residue, and recycled figures. E. AI-generation stylistic markers — filler scaffolding and hedged uniformity (weighted low; only counts in clusters). F. Metadata & provenance anomalies — affiliation/email mismatches, brokered-authorship language, and version churn.

    Every flag is reported with the exact quoted span, its location, a confidence level, and at least one innocent explanation, then aggregated into a calibrated concern level (LOW / ELEVATED / HIGH) using a convergence-based scoring rubric. The skill is deliberately built as triage, not verdict: it never asserts misconduct, never screens on author identity or nationality, and always ends with recommended next steps for a human reviewer.

    What's included: a lean SKILL.md orchestrator plus a bundled REFERENCE.md containing the detailed detector playbooks, the convergence-based scoring rubric, and a ready-to-fill report template. Designed for editors, peer reviewers, and research-integrity officers who need a fast, defensible, human-in-the-loop first pass before deeper investigation.
