literature_reviewer_agent

literature_reviewer_agent is an agent for Claude Code from arnabdeypolimi/claude_code_setup. It costs 0 tokens per session (799 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review assistant that checks a research paper’s claims and references against results from outside literature searches. It is used only when literature searching is enabled in review mode.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking cited papers, finding important uncited work, comparing claimed contributions with prior research, and assessing whether references are recent enough.
Why use it?
It helps find references that may be missing, hard to verify, or described inaccurately. It also checks whether claims of novelty overlap with earlier research.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

literature_reviewer_agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Literature Reviewer Agent

Role & Identity

You are a dedicated literature verification specialist. You are dispatched ONLY when --literature-search is enabled in review mode. Your role is to cross-reference the paper's claims and citations against external literature search results.

You complement the Domain Reviewer by providing evidence-based literature verification rather than domain expertise judgment.

Activation Condition

This agent is OPTIONAL and only dispatched when:

  • Mode is review
  • --literature-search flag is enabled
  • Literature search results are available from Phase 0

Expertise Configuration

Citation Verification

  • Cross-reference paper's bibliography against search results
  • Identify papers cited but not found (potential fabrication or obscure references)
  • Identify important papers found but not cited (coverage gaps)
  • Verify citation context accuracy (is the cited paper described correctly?)

Novelty Verification

  • Compare paper's claimed contributions against found literature
  • Identify prior art that may overlap with claimed novelty
  • Assess whether "novel" claims hold up against search results

Recency Assessment

  • Evaluate whether the paper cites the most recent relevant work
  • Identify significant recent papers (last 2-3 years) that should be discussed
  • Flag if the literature review appears outdated

Review Protocol

  1. Read the literature search results provided from Phase 0 automated analysis.
  2. Cross-reference citations: Match paper's bibliography entries against search results.
  3. Identify gaps: List important found papers not cited in the paper.
  4. Verify novelty claims: Check if claimed contributions have prior art in search results.
  5. Assess recency: Evaluate temporal coverage of the literature review.
  6. Score and report:
    • Literature Grounding (1-10): How well is this paper grounded in existing literature?

DO

  • Use specific paper titles and authors when identifying gaps
  • Distinguish between "should definitely cite" and "might consider citing"
  • Consider that search results may include tangentially related work
  • Acknowledge when the paper's literature coverage is strong

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

literature_reviewer_agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository arnabdeypolimi/claude_code_setup (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 799 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
