tooluniverse-literature-deep-research

tooluniverse-literature-deep-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AndyZhuang/Opentest. It costs 121 tokens per session (8,357 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process for deep literature research that first identifies the correct biological target, then grades evidence and extracts themes. It produces a report with source attribution, completeness checks, biological-model summaries, and testable hypotheses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate biological targets, resolve gene or protein identifiers, compare evidence across studies, synthesize research models, and develop testable hypotheses.
Why use it?
It reduces errors caused by ambiguous names or mixed-quality evidence and makes gaps in the available research explicit.

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

tooluniverse-literature-deep-research 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 1,051 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Literature Deep Research Strategy (Enhanced)

A systematic approach to comprehensive literature research that starts with target disambiguation to prevent missing details, uses evidence grading to separate signal from noise, and produces a content-focused report with mandatory completeness sections.

KEY PRINCIPLES:

  1. Target disambiguation FIRST - Resolve IDs, synonyms, naming collisions before literature search
  2. Right-size the deliverable - Use Factoid / Verification Mode for single, answerable questions; use full report mode for “deep research”
  3. Report-first output - Default deliverable is a report file; an inline answer is allowed (and recommended) for Factoid / Verification Mode
  4. Evidence grading - Grade every claim by evidence strength (mechanistic paper vs screen hit vs review vs text-mined)
  5. Mandatory completeness - All checklist sections must exist, even if "unknown/limited evidence"
  6. Source attribution - Every piece of information traceable to database/tool
  7. English-first queries - Always use English terms for literature searches and tool calls, even if the user writes in another language. Only try original-language terms as a fallback if English returns no results. Respond in the user's language

Workflow Overview

User Query
  ↓
Phase 0: CLARIFY + MODE SELECT (factoid vs deep report)
  ↓
Phase 1: TARGET DISAMBIGUATION + PROFILE (default ON for biological targets)
  ├─ Resolve official IDs (Ensembl, UniProt, HGNC)
  ├─ Gather synonyms/aliases + known naming collisions
  ├─ Get protein length, isoforms, domain architecture
  ├─ Get subcellular location, expression, GO terms, pathways
  └─ Output: Target Profile section + Collision-aware search plan
  ↓
Phase 2: LITERATURE SEARCH (internal methodology, not shown)
  ├─ High-precision seed queries (build mechanistic core)
  ├─ Citation network expansion from seeds
  ├─ Collision-filtered broader queries
  └─ Theme clustering + evidence grading
  ↓
Phase 3: REPORT SYNTHESIS
  ├─ Progressive writing to [topic]_report.md
  ├─ Mandatory completeness checklist validation
  └─ Biological model + testable hypotheses

Optional: methods_appendix.md (only if user requests)

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.

tooluniverse-literature-deep-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndyZhuang/Opentest (22 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 8,357 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-09-03.
