For BOSC planning and review. Private to BOSC org committee (and a few privileged reviewers).

bosc-pre-review

An AI-assisted pre-review tool for BOSC abstract submissions. It checks each abstract against four open source requirements:

Rubric	What it checks
R1 — Available	Is the source URL accessible and does it contain real content?
R2 — Open	Does the repo have a recognized open source license that matches what the author declared?
R3 — Fresh	Is this project new to BOSC, or if previously presented, does the abstract describe meaningful progress?
R4 — Active	Does the project have multiple contributors, a history longer than a few days, and recent activity?

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed and authenticated

Setup

1. Clone this repo and cd into it:

   git clone git@github.com:OBF/bosc-pre-review.git
   cd bosc-pre-review
   

2. (Optional, for full R3 checking) Download the abstract PDF archive from the BOSC pre-review Google Drive folder and extract it:

   mv Abstracts-BOSC2022-2025.tar.gz data/
   cd data && tar xzf Abstracts-BOSC2022-2025.tar.gz && cd ..
   

   See data/README.md for the expected directory structure.

Running

From the root of this repo, start Claude Code and invoke the skill:

claude
/bosc-pre-review

Then paste in the abstract metadata. The expected format is a table with columns:

#    Title    License    Source

These columns correspond to the abstract number, title, declared license, and source URL from the EasyChair submission form. Extra columns (e.g., author name, EasyChair boilerplate) are ignored.

Output

The skill writes a tab-delimited .tsv file to the current directory with scores and comments for each rubric, suitable for pasting into a review spreadsheet.
