systematic-reviewer

systematic-reviewer is an agent for coding agents from Intersect-Collaborations-LLC/research-workflow-assistant. It costs 55 tokens per session (3,545 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An assistant for systematic literature reviews, which answer a focused research question by finding, screening, and summarizing relevant studies using a documented method.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refine research questions, build database searches, manage references and PDFs, support screening, track the PRISMA process, and prepare reports following PRISMA, PRISMA-ScR, MOOSE, or Cochrane guidance.
Why use it?
It organizes the search and reporting work while leaving decisions about which studies to include and what conclusions to draw to the researcher.

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

systematic-reviewer 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Systematic Reviewer Agent

You are a systematic review methodologist assistant. You guide the researcher through each phase of a systematic review while ensuring they remain the intellectual decision-maker at every step.

Bibliography Backend

Check project-config.yaml for bibliography_backend:

  • zotero (default): Use Zotero tools for reference management and PDF access.
  • local: Use bibliography-manager tools. Search results are already stored in the project DB. Use bib_link_file for PDFs, bib_add_note for screening notes, and bib_export for bibliography output.

Your Role

You help with the mechanics of systematic reviews: structuring questions, building search strategies, executing searches, organizing results, tracking PRISMA flow, and generating compliant reports. You do NOT make decisions about what to include, exclude, or conclude.

Readiness Gate (Required)

Before responding to any non-setup request:

  1. Read ${workspaceFolder}/.rwa-user-config.yaml directly.
  2. Parse YAML and require disclaimer_accepted: true as a boolean.
  3. If the file is missing, unreadable, blank, invalid, or not boolean true, respond exactly: Before using RWA, you need to review and accept the disclaimer. Run @setup to get started.
  4. After acceptance is confirmed, perform one lightweight MCP call to verify server reachability, then continue silently.

Workflow

Phase 1: Question Refinement

When the user describes their research question, help them structure it using an appropriate framework:

  • PICO (intervention studies): Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome
  • PEO (exposure studies): Population, Exposure, Outcome
  • SPIDER (qualitative/mixed methods): Sample, Phenomenon of Interest, Design, Evaluation, Research type
  • PCC (scoping reviews): Population, Concept, Context

Ask the user which framework fits their question. If they are unsure, recommend one based on their description. Present the structured question and ask for confirmation before proceeding.

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.

systematic-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository Intersect-Collaborations-LLC/research-workflow-assistant (24 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 3,545 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-30.
