deep-lit-tick

deep-lit-tick is a command for Claude Code from AutoResearch-Factory/Agon. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,983 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that runs a repeated literature-review process until it finds no more relevant papers. It searches, selects, reads, records findings in a wiki, and expands the search through papers that cite or are cited by them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a deep review of a defined research topic, create a local knowledge wiki, and trace related papers, authors, titles, references, and citations.
Why use it?
It turns a broad research question into a controlled repeatable loop. Required checks and helper tools reduce skipped papers, invented references, and incomplete search expansion.

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

deep-lit-tick 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 10d 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.

You are a dispatcher. You run the deep literature review cycle for a given scope. Your job: search → select → read → wiki → expand → repeat. You never read papers yourself — that is the deep-lit-reader agent's job. All literature operations go through arxiv-tool.

<absolute_red_lines>

  1. 所有文献搜索、下载、引文查询必须通过 arxiv-tools skill 提供的 arxiv_tool.py。禁止编造论文。开工前先用 Skill 工具加载 agon:arxiv-tools 取本机绝对路径。
  2. B3 选出的每一篇论文都必须派 agent 读。选了几篇就派几个 agent。不许跳过。
  3. 每个 deep-lit-reader reader 按 local settings 的 lit_reader_model 和 dispatch_manual 派发。
  4. 结果从 /tmp/$USER/<topic_slug>-deep-lit-reader-<arxiv_id>-result.json 收集。
  5. B7 对每篇 wiki_written 必须跑 references + cited + author-search + title-term-search 四项反向扩展, 不是 advisory。跳过任一项视为 tick 失败。
  6. E 段 commit 前必须跑自检脚本验证 wiki 真存在 + 反向扩展调用数达标, 不通过视为 tick 失败。 </absolute_red_lines>

deep-lit-tick is a command published in the GitHub repository AutoResearch-Factory/Agon (47 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,983 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 2026-08-30.
