finance-lit-review

finance-lit-review is a command for Claude Code from azazhang/finance-literature-review-skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (625 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 26d 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 & Topic Maturity:
    • Assess whether the topic is frontier/emergent (where Tier 1 working papers lead) or a mature paradigm (where peer-reviewed articles anchor the literature).
    • Identify relevant subfields (Asset Pricing, Corporate Finance, Banking, Accounting).
  2. Build Search Grid & Query Channels:
    • Query core finance journals (JF, JFE, RFS), subfield leaders (JFQA, RCFS, RAPS, JMCB), Top 5 Econ, and Top 5 Accounting.
    • Execute systematic working paper searches via SSRN FEN eJournals, NBER programs (CF, AP, ME), CEPR, Central Banks (FEDS, NY Fed, BIS, ECB), conference programs (AFA, WFA, EFA, NBER SI), and finance JEL codes (G1, G2, G3, M4, E4/E5).
  3. Full-Text / Introduction Retrieval & Abstract Quarantine:
    • Retrieve manuscript or working paper PDFs/HTML. Do not stop at abstracts.
    • Enforce Abstract Quarantine: If only an abstract is available, tag [Abstract-Only Provisional], preface statements with "Author claims in abstract (unverified): ...", and mark design fields unverified. Never infer identification strategies, fixed effects, clustering, or numerical magnitudes from an abstract.
  4. Extract via 3-Anchor Protocol (16 Columns):
    • Target Introduction Paras 3–4 (setting & shock), Paras 5–6 (findings & economic magnitude), Paras 9–11 (self-stated contribution & boundary relative to benchmark papers), and baseline table notes.
    • Assign Lineage Role (Theoretical Originator, Empirical Landmark, Causal ID Benchmark, Boundary / Reassessment).
    • Separate Verified Empirical Finding from Boundary Condition (what it leaves open).
  5. Synthesize by Mechanism, Lineage, and Design:
    • Synthesize along economic channels and causal designs. Contrast findings by identification strategy and sample setting. Do not summarize paper-by-paper.
  6. Deliver:
    • Scope note and topic maturity classification,
    • Prioritized reading list,
    • 16-column literature matrix with verification tags and lineage roles,
    • Thematic synthesis,
    • Explicit research gaps grounded in boundary conditions,
    • Verified citation block.

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.

finance-lit-review is a command published in the GitHub repository azazhang/finance-literature-review-skill (1 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 625 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 2026-08-31.
