kill-argument: Workflow Automation for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Two-thread adversarial review: a fresh reviewer constructs the strongest 200-word rejection memo, then a second fresh reviewer defends the paper point-by-point and surfaces still-unresolved critical issues. Use when user says \"kill argument\", \"adversarial review\", \"hostile review\", \"rebuttal preparation\", \"reviewer-2 simulation\", or before submitting a theory paper that has already passed standard review rounds.

Kill Argument Exercise: Adversarial Attack-Defense Review

🔒 Do not wrap this skill in /loop, /schedule, or CronCreate. It is verdict-bearing — it produces an adversarial accept/reject verdict (attack → adjudication). Re-firing it on a wall-clock timer adds no new signal (the attack changes only when the paper changes). Schedule the external wait that precedes it — draft stable → then run this once before submission. See shared-references/external-cadence.md.

Stress-test the headline claims of a paper against the strongest possible rejection argument: $ARGUMENTS

Why This Exists

Standard score-based reviews (/research-review, /auto-paper-improvement-loop) tend to produce balanced weakness lists. Each weakness gets ~equal attention, ranked CRITICAL > MAJOR > MINOR. Empirically, this misses one specific failure mode: the single most damaging argument a reviewer would write in a rejection paragraph — the one sentence that, if a senior area chair reads it, kills the paper.

A balanced reviewer might list "scope-overclaim risk" as MAJOR alongside 3-5 other MAJORs, never quite committing. An adversarial reviewer must commit: their entire job is to convince the area chair to reject in 200 words.

This skill runs that adversarial pass deliberately, then forces a second fresh reviewer to defend point-by-point, classify each rejection as already-fixed / partially-fixed / still-unresolved, and surface what's actually load-bearing.

Empirical motivation: in a real submission run, after several rounds of standard improvement (score 7-8/10), the kill-argument exercise surfaced framing weaknesses that no prior review caught (e.g., a setting being mostly conditional rather than truly general, or a baseline being irrelevant to real systems). Author rebuttal forced explicit scope qualifications in abstract and discussion that weren't visible from the score-based reviews alone.

How This Differs From Other Review Skills

Skill	What it asks the reviewer	Output
Standard peer review	"Score this paper, list weaknesses by severity"	balanced weakness list
`/research-review`	"Deep technical review of methods + claims"	structured deep critique
`/proof-checker`	"Is this theorem actually proved?"	per-step proof obligation audit
`/paper-claim-audit`	"Does the paper report numbers truthfully?"	per-claim evidence verification
`/citation-audit`	"Are citations real and used in correct context?"	per-entry KEEP/FIX/REPLACE/REMOVE
`/kill-argument`	"Write the single strongest rejection paragraph; then defend it."	attack memo + per-point defense + unresolved surfaced

This skill is complementary, not a replacement. Run after standard reviews when you want to know what the worst-case reviewer paragraph would look like, before camera-ready or rebuttal preparation.

When To Use

After 1-2 rounds of /auto-paper-improvement-loop settled at a stable score, but before submission. Surfaces what additional fixes would close the headline-attack gap.
During rebuttal preparation, to predict reviewer-2's strongest objection so you can prepare the response in advance.
For theory papers with a high-level title that may oversimplify the actual theorem (the most common reject-attack pattern).
For papers where a reviewer might attack scope, assumption-vs-claim mismatch, missing proof obligations, or evidence-vs-headline gaps.

This skill is most valuable for theory papers with ≥5 theorem-class environments (so the headline depends on real proof obligations). For empirical papers without theorems, use /research-review instead.

Constants

REVIEWER_MODEL = gpt-6-astra (default; gpt-5.5 is the capability fallback, gpt-5.4 only as an explicit legacy override). Reviewer reasoning effort = ultra for the attack / defense / adjudication threads (deep-audit tier; capability fallback per shared-references/reviewer-routing.md, never below xhigh). Beast-mode axis probes stay at xhigh.
CONTEXT_POLICY = fresh (REVIEWER_BIAS_GUARD). Each thread is a fresh mcp__codex__codex call. Never use mcp__codex__codex-reply. No prior review summary, fix list, or executor explanation enters either prompt.
ATTACK_LENGTH = approximately 200 words (do not exceed 250). Single coherent argument, not a list.
DEFENSE_DECOMPOSITION = 3-7 atomic rejection points extracted from the attack memo. Each gets its own classification.
CLASSIFICATION = answered_by_current_text / partially_answered / still_unresolved. (Names chosen so the adjudicator does not assume "fixed" implies prior history of patching — they read the paper as a fresh reviewer would.)
OUTPUT = KILL_ARGUMENT.md (human-readable) + KILL_ARGUMENT.json (machine-readable) in the paper directory.
RENDER_HTML = true — When true (default), auto-render KILL_ARGUMENT.md to HTML after writing the report. Uses full Codex review gate (audit-class artifact — full render-fidelity check matches the skill's cross-model audit invariant; the sidecar KILL_ARGUMENT.json is also passed to the renderer). Set false to skip, or pass — render html: false.

Workflow

Step 1: Discover paper files

Locate the paper directory and inventory the source.

PAPER_DIR="$ARGUMENTS"   # e.g., paper-overleaf/ or paper/
cd "$PAPER_DIR"

# Find the LaTeX entry point
ENTRY=$(grep -lE '^\\documentclass' *.tex 2>/dev/null | head -1)
echo "Entry: $ENTRY"

# Find all source files codex should read
find . -name "*.tex" -not -path "./.git/*" 2>/dev/null
find . -name "*.bib" -not -path "./.git/*" 2>/dev/null
find figures/ -name "*.pdf" -o -name "*.png" 2>/dev/null
ls -la *.pdf 2>/dev/null  # compiled PDF

If a compiled PDF is missing, the skill should still run on .tex source alone, but the prompt should mention this so the reviewer doesn't waste cycles trying to extract from a non-existent PDF.

Step 2: Attack memo (Thread 1, fresh codex)

Invoke mcp__codex__codex (NOT codex-reply) with the following prompt structure:

mcp__codex__codex:
  model: gpt-6-astra
  config: {"model_reasoning_effort": "ultra"}
  sandbox: read-only
  cwd: <paper directory>
  prompt: |
    You are simulating a hostile NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML reviewer for a paper.
    This is a kill-argument adversarial check — your task is NOT to give a
    balanced review but to construct the **single strongest argument for
    rejecting this paper**.

    ## Files to read
    - LaTeX entry: <ENTRY>
    - All section files under sections/ or wherever they live
    - Macro files (math_commands.tex, etc.)
    - Compiled PDF: <main.pdf> (if available)

    Read the source carefully. Do not consult any prior reviews, fix lists,
    or summaries; this must be a fresh, zero-context adversarial pass.

    ## Your task
    Construct the single best argument to reject this paper in approximately
    200 words. Your goal is to write the worst-case rejection memo a senior
    NeurIPS area chair would produce after reading the paper.

    Focus on these axes (pick the most damaging combination, do not list all):
    1. Theorem validity: are central theorems actually proved as stated?
    2. Assumption-vs-claim mismatch: does the body silently retreat to a
       narrower object than the title/abstract advertise?
    3. Missing proof obligations: is a fundamental lemma invoked but not
       proved (e.g., concentration, generic position, prefactor envelope)
       that the headline depends on?
    4. Limit-order ambiguity: are limits in K/n/d/eps composed in a way the
       paper does not commit to?
    5. Claim-vs-evidence gap: is the empirical/numerical evidence too narrow
       to support the breadth of the stated theorem or take-away?
    6. Scope overclaim: does the title or abstract sell a result substantially
       broader than what the body proves?

    ## Constraints
    - Approximately 200 words total (do NOT exceed 250).
    - Single argument, not a list — pick the most damaging line of attack
      and develop it.
    - Cite specific file:line locations or equation numbers when accusing.
    - Tone: dispassionate but uncompromising. Do NOT hedge. Do NOT acknowledge
      mitigations the paper might have made elsewhere. This is the rejection
      paragraph; the defense gets the next pass.
    - Do NOT reference prior review rounds, fix lists, or any context outside
      the current paper files.

    Output: just the rejection memo, nothing else.

Save the returned threadId for the trace; do NOT pass it to Thread 2. Save the attack memo verbatim — both Thread 2 and the human-readable report use it.

Step 2.5 (optional, `beast` effort): multi-axis attack fan-out

Default OFF. The deliverable of this skill is a verdict — the single strongest rejection paragraph — and shared-references/fan-out-pattern.md is explicit: do not fan out the verdict; fan out only the evidence that feeds it. The default single-commitment attack (Step 2) is deliberate — forcing one paragraph produces sharper feedback than a balanced list (see Why This Exists). Do not replace it with a list.

Under beast effort you may widen the evidence the commitment draws on without diluting the commitment:

Axis probes (evidence breadth). Run the six attack axes (theorem validity / assumption-vs-claim / missing obligation / limit-order / claim-vs-evidence / scope-overclaim) as separate fresh-codex probes, each asked for the strongest ~120-word thrust on that axis alone. These are evidence-gathering, not the verdict. Probes run at xhigh (not ultra) — six serial delegating calls would multiply cost for evidence that the ultra-tier commit re-judges anyway.
- These are NOT Claude subagents, and there is deliberately NO Agent grant. Each probe is a fresh mcp__codex__codex call — the adversary must be cross-model (non-Claude). Codex MCP is serial (concurrent codex calls hang), so the probes run sequentially — Tier-3 in the fan-out ladder. This is exactly why kill-argument lists no Agent in allowed-tools: it spawns nothing; it threads codex calls.
Commit (the verdict, still single). A final fresh-codex synthesis reads the six probes plus the paper and must commit to the single most damaging ~200-word rejection paragraph — selecting and fusing at most two axes, NOT listing all six. The Step-2 commitment requirement is unchanged; the probes only ensure no axis was overlooked before committing.

The adjudication (Step 3) then runs against this committed attack exactly as in the default flow. Cost: beast adds ~6 extra serial codex calls — use it for the final pre-submission pass on a high-stakes paper, not routinely.

Tracing: record each probe's threadId (axis_probe_thread_ids[]) and the synthesis threadId in the trace, the same way Steps 2–3 save their thread ids. The committed attack memo, not the six probes, is what Step 3 consumes.

Step 3: Adjudication memo (Thread 2, fresh codex with attack + paper)

Invoke a second mcp__codex__codex call (still NOT codex-reply — Thread 2 is independent of

This skill is **complementary**, not a replacement. Run after standard reviews when you want to know what the worst-case reviewer paragraph would look like, before camera-ready or rebuttal preparation.

## When To Use

- After 1-2 rounds of `/auto-paper-improvement-loop` settled at a stable score, but before submission. Surfaces what additional fixes would close the headline-attack gap.
- During rebuttal preparation, to predict reviewer-2's strongest objection so you can prepare the response in advance.

This skill is most valuable for **theory papers** with ≥5 theorem-class environments (so the headline depends on real proof obligations). For empirical papers without theorems, use `/research-review` instead.

## Constants

- **REVIEWER_MODEL** = `gpt-6-astra` (default; `gpt-5.5` is the capability fallback, `gpt-5.4` only as an explicit legacy override). Reviewer reasoning effort = `ultra` for the attack / defense / adjudication threads (deep-audit tier; capability fallback per `shared-references/reviewer-routing.md`, never below `xhigh`).

- **OUTPUT** = `KILL_ARGUMENT.md` (human-readable) + `KILL_ARGUMENT.json` (machine-readable) in the paper directory.
- **RENDER_HTML = true** — When `true` (default), auto-render `KILL_ARGUMENT.md` to HTML after writing the report. Uses **full Codex review gate** (audit-class artifact — full render-fidelity check matches the skill's cross-model audit invariant; the sidecar `KILL_ARGUMENT.json` is also passed to the renderer).

## Workflow

### Step 1: Discover paper files

Locate the paper directory and inventory the source.

```bash
PAPER_DIR="$ARGUMENTS" # e.g., paper-overleaf/ or paper/
cd "$PAPER_DIR"

# Find the LaTeX entry point
ENTRY=$(grep -lE '^\\documentclass' *.tex 2>/dev/null | head -1)
echo "Entry: $ENTRY"

# Find all source files codex should read
find . -name "*.tex" -not -path "./.git/*" 2>/dev/null
find . -name "*.bib" -not -path "./.git/*" 2>/dev/null
find figures/ -name "*.pdf" -o -name "*.png" 2>/dev/null
ls -la *.pdf 2>/dev/null # compiled PDF
```

If a compiled PDF is missing, the skill should still run on .tex source alone, but the prompt should mention this so the reviewer doesn't waste cycles trying to extract from a non-existent PDF.

### Step 2: Attack memo (Thread 1, fresh codex)

Invoke `mcp__codex__codex` (NOT `codex-reply`) with the following prompt structure:

```
mcp__codex__codex:
model: gpt-6-astra
config: {"model_reasoning_effort": "ultra"}

Output: just the rejection memo, nothing else.
```

Save the returned `threadId` for the trace; do NOT pass it to Thread 2. Save the attack memo verbatim — both Thread 2 and the human-readable report use it.

### Step 2.5 (optional, `beast` effort): multi-axis attack fan-out

**Default OFF.** The deliverable of this skill *is* a verdict — the single
strongest rejection paragraph — and
[`shared-references/fan-out-pattern.md`](../shared-references/fan-out-pattern.md)
is explicit: **do not fan out the verdict; fan out only the evidence that
feeds it.** The default single-commitment attack (Step 2) is deliberate —
forcing one paragraph produces sharper feedback than a balanced list (see *Why
This Exists*). Do **not** replace it with a list.

Under `beast` effort you may widen the *evidence* the commitment draws on
without diluting the commitment:

1. **Axis probes (evidence breadth).** Run the six attack axes (theorem
validity / assumption-vs-claim / missing obligation / limit-order /
claim-vs-evidence / scope-overclaim) as **separate fresh-codex probes**,
each asked for the strongest ~120-word thrust *on that axis alone*. These
are evidence-gathering, not the verdict. Probes run at `xhigh` (not
`ultra`) — six serial delegating calls would multiply cost for evidence
that the ultra-tier commit re-judges anyway.
- **These are NOT Claude subagents, and there is deliberately NO `Agent`
grant.** Each probe is a fresh `mcp__codex__codex` call — the adversary
must be cross-model (non-Claude). Codex MCP is **serial** (concurrent
codex calls hang), so the probes run **sequentially** — Tier-3 in the
fan-out ladder. This is exactly why `kill-argument` lists no `Agent` in
`allowed-tools`: it spawns nothing; it threads codex calls.
2. **Commit (the verdict, still single).** A final fresh-codex synthesis reads
the six probes plus the paper and must **commit to the single most damaging
~200-word rejection paragraph** — selecting and fusing at most two axes, NOT
listing all six. The Step-2 commitment requirement is unchanged; the probes
only ensure no axis was overlooked before committing.

The adjudication (Step 3) then runs against this committed attack exactly as in
the default flow. Cost: `beast` adds ~6 extra serial codex calls — use it for
the final pre-submission pass on a high-stakes paper, not routinely.

Tracing: record each probe's `threadId` (`axis_probe_thread_ids[]`) and the
synthesis `threadId` in the trace, the same way Steps 2–3 save their thread
ids. The committed attack memo, not the six probes, is what Step 3 consumes.

### Step 3: Adjudication memo (Thread 2, fresh codex with attack + paper)

Invoke a second `mcp__codex__codex` call (still NOT `codex-reply` — Thread 2 is independent of
