finance-lit-review

finance-lit-review is a command for Claude Code from azazhang/finance-literature-review-skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (246 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for researching finance literature by collecting papers, checking citations, and comparing their research methods and findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scoping a finance question, building a prioritized reading list and literature matrix, synthesizing findings by mechanism and research design, identifying gaps, and producing verified citations.
Why use it?
It organizes scattered academic evidence and distinguishes established published research from working papers, which have not completed formal publication review.

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

finance-lit-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 12d 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.

$ARGUMENTS

Workflow

  1. Scope the question tightly.
  2. Set the venue ladder:
    • top finance journals first,
    • then adjacent economics or accounting journals if relevant,
    • then frontier working papers from NBER, CEPR, SSRN, and RePEc / IDEAS.
  3. Collect and verify citations.
  4. Extract a finance matrix for the important papers:
    • citation,
    • venue tier,
    • published vs working paper,
    • research question,
    • sample / setting,
    • period,
    • unit of observation,
    • identification strategy,
    • main finding,
    • mechanism,
    • main limitation.
  5. Synthesize by mechanism and design, not paper-by-paper unless the user explicitly asks for that.
  6. Deliver:
    • scope note,
    • prioritized reading list,
    • literature matrix,
    • synthesis,
    • gaps,
    • verified citation block.

Hard Rules

  • Never fabricate citations.
  • Always label working papers as working papers.
  • Say clearly if only titles or abstracts were available.
  • Do not let working papers crowd out established published evidence in mature literatures.

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.
