feat(paper-review): add pre-submission novelty + reviewer skill#39
Merged
Conversation
Grounds every novelty/claim verdict in a retrieved paper (OpenAlex primary, web-search backstop, Semantic Scholar key-gated), flags related-work gaps against references.bib, and surfaces lab/co-author overlap with a COPE disclosure checklist without adjudicating the boundary. Sibling of techne:paper; follows OpenNovelty (arXiv 2601.01576). Registration also repairs pre-existing drift: paper was missing from the docs nav, and paper + research-grounded from the README architecture tree.

What
techne:paper-review— a pre-submission novelty + reviewer pass for a draft paper. Input a scaffolded paper dir (+ optional--from <repo>); outputpapers/<name>/novelty-review.mdwith four grounded sections:references.bib.first/N×/outperformsclaims → supported / unsupported / overclaim.Sibling of
techne:paper(which scaffolds the draft this one reviews).Grounding
Follows OpenNovelty (arXiv 2601.01576): every verdict traces to a record retrieved this run, paired with a verbatim snippet and logged in a provenance appendix — or it is marked unverified. Retrieval substrate (live-tested): OpenAlex primary (keyless), web-search backstop, Semantic Scholar only with a key (keyless S2 returns HTTP 429). Only derived keyword queries leave the machine — never the (private, often double-blind) paper text.
Verification (TDD-for-skills)
velocity-fl-systems: produced a grounded report that flagged Blades (the uncited near-direct competitor to the Byzantine arena), the weak~135×-vs-pure-Python baseline, and surfaced the PID-MADE lab overlap with a disclosure checklist and no verdict.make validate+make buildgreen.Also
