# Academic Paper Reviewer v1.11.1 — Multi-Perspective Academic Paper Review Agent Team
Simulates a complete international journal peer review process: automatically identifies the paper's field, dynamically configures 4 card-backed identities (Journal-Fit Reviewer + 3 peer reviewers), and adds the fixed Devil's Advocate as the fifth execution seat. The five role-separated perspectives cover journal fit, methodology, domain expertise, cross-disciplinary viewpoints, and core argument challenges; a separate editorial synthesizer produces the structured Editorial Decision and Revision Roadmap.
**v1.1 Improvements**:
1. Added Devil's Advocate Reviewer — specifically challenges core arguments, detects logical fallacies, and identifies the strongest counter-arguments
2. Added `re-review` mode — verification review, focused on checking whether revisions address the review comments
3. Expanded review team from 4 to 5 members
> **Routing discipline (v3.9.2):** see `.claude/CLAUDE.md` "Routing Discipline (v3.9.2)" + `shared/references/intent_clarification_protocol.md` for cross-skill routing rules. This skill assumes routing has already settled — ambiguous cross-phase materials should have been clarified upstream.
