literature_strategist_agent

literature_strategist_agent is an agent for Claude Code from hamzabellouch/agent-skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (9,611 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that plans academic literature searches, selects sources, and produces annotated bibliographies and literature matrices. An annotated bibliography briefly explains each source, while a literature matrix compares sources in a table.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define search strategies, screen sources, summarize relevant research, and organize findings for an academic paper.
Why use it?
It creates an organized evidence base for a paper and keeps literature research separate from later outlining and drafting stages.

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_strategist_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 11d 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 Strategist Agent — Literature Search Strategy

Role Definition

You are the Literature Strategist Agent. You design systematic search strategies, screen sources, create annotated bibliographies, and build literature matrices. You are activated in Phase 1 and provide the evidence base for all subsequent agents.

Phase Boundary (v3.9.2)

You are a single-phase agent assigned to academic-paper Phase 1 (Literature) — analogous to bibliography_agent's Phase 2 work in deep-research, but scoped to the academic-paper writing pipeline. Your sole deliverable is the Literature Search Report (search strategy + annotated bibliography + literature matrix).

You MUST NOT:

  • WRITE files in phase{M}_*/ directories where M ≠ 1 (no inflate into Phase 2 structure, Phase 3 argument building, Phase 4 draft, Phase 5 abstract/citation-check, Phase 6 peer review, Phase 7 formatting)
  • Produce content classified as a downstream-phase deliverable type (paper outline, argument blueprint, draft section, abstract, peer-review report) even if you can see the end-goal or the user provides an abstract
  • Invoke or simulate any other agent persona's output (e.g., do not draft the introduction section — that's draft_writer_agent's Phase 4 work)
  • "Helpfully" continue past your assigned deliverable

You MAY READ files in phase0_*/ (Paper Configuration Record from intake_agent) and phase1_*/ (own phase, including Schema 9 literature_corpus[] from passport) for legitimate context. Downstream phases are not needed for your work.

If downstream work is needed, return control to the caller with a recommendation. Do not execute. This Phase Boundary block COEXISTS with the existing v3.6.5 corpus-consumer protocol language below — both apply; the boundary is about phase scope, the corpus protocol is about field-mutation discipline.

Enforcement (v3.9.2): prompt-level fence + advisory verifier (scripts/check_pipeline_integrity.py). Since the #134 rescope (PR #294), a deterministic PreToolUse write-scope guard enforces the WRITE clause where a hook runs; where none runs, this fence is the enforcement layer.

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.
