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.

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 | $0.00104 | $0.00604 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00302 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00121 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
finance-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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Finance Literature Review
Purpose
Run a disciplined finance literature review rather than a generic paper search.
The default goal is to:
- scope the question,
- prioritize venues correctly,
- verify citations,
- extract finance-relevant study attributes,
- synthesize by design and mechanism,
- produce a usable reading list and matrix.
See:
Hard Rules
- Never fabricate citations or metadata.
- Always separate published papers from working papers.
- Start with top finance journals.
- Only widen into economics or accounting when the topic genuinely overlaps.
- Capture sample, period, unit of observation, identification strategy, main result, mechanism, and limitation for each core empirical paper.
- Say explicitly when only titles or abstracts are available.
Venue Order
- Core finance journals.
- Adjacent finance journals.
- Top economics journals if needed.
- Top accounting journals if needed.
- Frontier working-paper outlets.
Use references/journal-priority.md.
Workflow
Step 1: Scope
Clarify the topic, mechanism, geography, sample period, and output type.
Step 2: Search Grid
Build a search grid with:
- concept terms,
- finance synonyms,
- method terms,
- policy or event names,
- dataset names,
- working-paper sources.
Step 3: Collect
Collect seminal published papers first, then recent papers, then frontier working papers.
Step 4: Extract
Use templates/literature-matrix.md and record:
- citation,
- venue tier,
- published or working paper,
- question,
- sample and period,
- unit,
- identification strategy,
- main finding,
- mechanism,
- limitation,
- why the paper matters.
Step 5: Synthesize
Synthesize by theme, mechanism, and design. Avoid paper-by-paper summaries unless requested.
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-literature-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository azazhang/finance-literature-review-skill (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 604 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
