Claude PhD Panel Plugin
Academic expert perspectives for any codebase. Six specialized review commands that analyze your project from different research domain viewpoints.
Commands
| Command | Role | What it reviews |
|---|
/cs | Computer Science PhD | Algorithm complexity, data structures, concurrency correctness |
/db | Database Theory PhD | Schema normalization, query optimization, consistency models |
/stats | Statistics PhD | A/B test design, metric validity, statistical significance |
/ds | Data Science PhD | ML pipelines, feature engineering, model evaluation |
/dist-sys | Distributed Systems PhD | Consensus, fault tolerance, partition handling |
/pl | PL Theory PhD | Type safety, abstraction design, error handling patterns |
Installation
/plugin marketplace add JFK/claude-phd-panel-plugin
/plugin install claude-phd-panel
Usage
Review mode
Run any command to get a full academic review:
/claude-phd-panel:cs # Full CS review of current repo
/claude-phd-panel:cs owner/repo # Analyze a specific repo
/claude-phd-panel:db schema # Focus on schema design
/claude-phd-panel:stats metrics # Focus on metrics/experiments
Question mode
Ask any PhD a direct question — they'll answer from their academic perspective, grounded in your actual codebase:
/claude-phd-panel:cs Is this sorting approach optimal for our data size?
/claude-phd-panel:db Should we denormalize this table for read performance?
/claude-phd-panel:stats Is our A/B test sample size sufficient?
/claude-phd-panel:ds Is there data leakage in our feature pipeline?
/claude-phd-panel:dist-sys Can this service handle network partitions?
/claude-phd-panel:pl Should we use generics here or concrete types?
Cross-referencing with C-Suite
Run PhD Panel commands alongside Claude C-Suite commands in the same session for executive + academic perspectives:
/claude-c-suite:cto # CTO flags DB performance concern
/claude-phd-panel:db # DB PhD validates with academic rigor
Design Principles
- Analysis only — Commands recommend actions but never execute changes
- Academic rigor — Grounded in theory, not just best practices
- Cross-referencing — Run multiple commands in one session; they reference each other's findings
- C-Suite compatible — References C-Suite findings when both plugins are used together
- GitHub-native — Uses
gh CLI to gather issues, milestones, and commit history
- Universal — No project-specific assumptions; works with any codebase
