Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Privilege Escalation · line 111 Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 154 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00040 | $0.07677 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.03839 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.01535 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00768 |
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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 551 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Literature Review Workflow
Overview
This skill coordinates the production of a focused, insight-driven, rigorous, and accurate literature review for philosophy research proposals. The skill coordinates specialized subagents using the Agent tool to execute a structured 6-phase workflow.
Objectives (priority order)
- Accurate — Only cite verified papers; never fabricate references
- Comprehensive — Cover all major positions and key debates
- Rigorous and concise — Analytical depth, tight prose; balanced presentation of positions
- Reproducible — Structured workflow, standard BibTeX output, Chicago author-date citations
Quality over speed; use full context as needed (do not optimize for token savings).
Critical: Task List Management
ALWAYS maintain a todo list and a task-progress.md file to enable resume across conversations.
Once the review directory reviews/[project-short-name]/ is established (Phase 1, step 7), create the tracker at reviews/[project-short-name]/task-progress.md. The first setup steps of Phase 1 (environment check, resume detection, mode choice) run untracked because the review directory does not exist yet. The tracker template:
# Literature Review Progress Tracker
**Research Topic**: [topic]
**Started**: [timestamp]
**Last Updated**: [timestamp]
## Progress Status
- [ ] Phase 1: Verify environment and determine execution mode
- [ ] Phase 2: Structure literature review domains
- [ ] Phase 3: Research [N] domains in parallel
- [ ] Phase 4: Outline synthesis review across domains
- [ ] Phase 5: Write review for each section in parallel
- [ ] Phase 6: Assemble final review files and move intermediate files
## Completed Tasks
[timestamp] Phase 1: Created `lit-review-plan.md` ([N] domains)
## Current Task
[Current phase and task]
## Next Steps
[Numbered list of next actions]
Update task-progress.md after EVERY completed phase in the workflow.
Workflow Architecture
Strictly follow this workflow consisting of six distinct phases:

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.

literature-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository AI-4-Phi/PhilLit (42 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 7,677 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. 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.
