 "repo_slug": "thuroi0787-absent-author",
 "title": "Grade a suspicious submission with evidence, not guesses",
 "page_title": "How to grade a suspicious submission with evidence, not guesses with Absent Author",
 "summary": "Run paper-slop-screen to get W/R/Q grades, a quadrant, located findings, and a note to the AC.",
 "who": "A reviewer or area chair facing a submission that looks like it was produced end to end by an agent with no human owner.",
 "problem": "Reviewers have intuitions about AI-produced papers but lack a shared, citable vocabulary with evidence behind it.",
 "outcome": "W/R/Q grades, a quadrant placement, every finding with a location and quote, a substance-only review paragraph, and a note to the AC.",
 "steps": [
  "Check your venue's reviewer LLM policy before you run the screen on a submission under review, as the README asks.",
  "Clone the repo with `git clone https://github.com/THUROI0787/absent-author.git && cd absent-author`.",
  "Install the skills with `./install.sh --project` or `./install.sh` for your user folder. (inferred, check the README)",
  "In Claude Code or Codex, tell the agent to use paper-slop-screen to triage the paper.",
  "Check every finding against its location and quote before you cite it in a review."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Use the absent-author repo's paper-slop-screen skill to triage <paper PDF or folder>. Return the W/R/Q grades, the quadrant, and each finding with its location and quote. Verify one finding by opening the cited location yourself before you rely on it.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says language evidence never raises the research grade and the output is not a verdict on AI use, so the screen supports a review rather than replacing one.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "git and a shell to clone the repo",
  "Python 3.9 or newer for tools/slop_lint.py (no dependencies)",
  "Claude Code, Codex, or another agent that reads SKILL.md for the two skills",
  "pymupdf (pip install pymupdf) for tools/pdf_hidden_text.py",
  "Optional: poppler-utils and tesseract for the OCR check on remapped text"
