Tools and private-view steps

You use refereekit by chatting with your agent, and you never type a refereekit command. This page lists what you can ask for, where each step happens, and the tools the agent’s model calls.

What to ask for

Ask in plain words. The agent calls the tool, and anything that shows the paper’s words or takes yours opens in your private view.

Ask the agent to	What happens
start a review of a PDF, for a venue	a session starts; the agent learns its reference and page count
open the review	your questions, your verdict and both drafts, in the private view
draft the report, or the letter	the private view asks for section lengths, or your answers for the editor
check the report	the draft is checked against the paper, with no model; the agent learns the counts
show what needs attention	the triage list, in the private view
open model access	your deployment, key and attestation, in the private view
compare the session with a revised PDF	each claim in the pool gets an outcome
fetch the submission from OpenReview	the form and the replies are stored in the session
finish	the last checks before you submit; nothing is submitted or approved
show the status	where each session stands, as counts
delete the session	you see what it destroys, and say yes on your own screen
set refereekit up again, or remove it	the same, for the reviews folder

pi’s commands

In pi you can open each view yourself:

Command	Opens
/refx-review	the questions, your verdict and both drafts
/refx-drafts	a draft, to edit and check; “Check a file”; the OpenReview form
/refx-flags	the triage list; e shows an equation’s evidence
/refx-note	write or read venue notes
/refx-model	model access and the OpenReview account
/refx-tutorial	the practice review

Each takes a session reference, or asks you to choose. /refx-model belongs to the reviews folder and takes none. The commands need pi’s interactive mode (see No screen, no review).

Where each step happens

In pi, each step opens in pi’s own dialogs. In the other agents it opens in the review window, in the part named here.

Step	In the review window
Ask questions and read the checked answers	the question form
Record your verdict	“Your verdict”
Draft the report or the letter	“Draft the report”, “Draft the letter”
Edit and check a draft	“Open it in your editor”, “Check it against the paper”
Check a co-referee’s report	“Check a file”
Draft an OpenReview form	“OpenReview form”
Read the triage list	“What needs attention”
Write or read venue notes	“Venue notes”
Read the finishing checks	“Finishing checks”
Set model access or the OpenReview login	the reviews folder’s page
Say yes to deleting a session	the client’s own form, or the window’s delete button

A stored key or password shows as “set”, never as its value.

The tools

The agent’s model calls eight tools. None takes your words, a key or a password as an argument. A call that tries is refused, and the refusal does not repeat what it was given.

Tool	What it does
refx_start	starts a session on a PDF you named, or resumes one
refx_status	where one session stands, or every session
refx_check	checks the report or the letter, with no model
refx_finish	the last checks before you submit
refx_draft	opens the private view at the report or the letter
refx_open	opens one of your private views
refx_close	deletes a session, only on your yes
refx_setup	removes refereekit from the folder or installs it again, only on your yes

Each result is counts and codes. In the review window, the agent learns only whether the window opened.
