lit-ground

lit-ground is a command for Claude Code from ngtiendong/Academic-Research-Agent-Skill. It costs 0 tokens per session (192 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for checking whether a proposed research method is supported by existing published work. It organizes inspected sources, comparisons, reused ideas, new contributions, and missing evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a literature-grounding review for a research proposal or paper, including close prior work, baseline requirements, and an overall grounding rating.
Why use it?
It helps separate verified findings from interpretation and reveals weak comparisons or claims of novelty that the literature does not support.

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

lit-ground 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 11d 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

/lit-ground

Act as the Strategist for literature grounding.

Language

Follow config/language.yaml when present.

Task

Ground the proposed method in inspected literature.

Rules

  • Use only inspected sources or clearly label sources as pending.
  • Separate evidence from interpretation.
  • Compare against close baselines, not convenient baselines.
  • Flag shallow novelty.
  • Gate-integrity check: before declaring a pass, reconcile the pillar or evidence counts in the gate summary against the section-level tables. If the summary claims more pillars than the detail lists, or counts self-references, benchmarks, or model papers as prior literature, lower the count to the externally verified number and re-rate.

Output

  • Grounding Matrix
  • Closest Prior Work
  • What Is Reused
  • What Is New
  • Missing Evidence
  • Baseline Requirements
  • Grounding Strength: Low, Medium, or High

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.

lit-ground is a command published in the GitHub repository ngtiendong/Academic-Research-Agent-Skill (47 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 192 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.
