literature-review is a command for Claude Code from Amey-Thakur/AI-SKILLS. It costs 18 tokens per session (236 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for synthesizing a group of research sources into a literature review instead of summarizing each source separately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review studies or other sources, compare their findings, assess how strong the evidence is, and answer a defined research question.
Why use it?
It helps show shared themes, disagreements, evidence quality, gaps, and the difference between correlation and causation.

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-review 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

You were invoked as a slash command. The user's input:

$ARGUMENTS

Use that input to fill this prompt's variables (take the main content, topic, or task from it; ask only if a required value is missing and not supplied), then follow the prompt exactly.


Review this literature:

{sources}

Question: {question}

Use research-synthesis, fact-checking, and correlation-causation.

Produce:

  • The question and how sources were selected.
  • Themes across sources, with which support each.
  • Where sources disagree, and the likely reason.
  • The strength of evidence: study design, sample, replication.
  • What is not established despite being widely stated.
  • Gaps where the literature is silent.
  • What this means for the question.

Rules: synthesise across sources rather than summarising them sequentially. Weight by evidence quality rather than by citation count. State disagreement rather than averaging it. Distinguish correlation from causation in every claim. Cite specifically.

Changes

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.
