systematic-literature-review

systematic-literature-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BingHanOfUESTC/open_agent_team. It costs 73 tokens per session (4,170 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of systematic-literature-review, MIT.

A workflow for systematically reviewing many academic papers on one topic. It extracts comparable details such as research questions, methods, findings, and limitations, then combines them into a cited survey or review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create literature surveys, systematic reviews, annotated bibliographies, research-trend summaries, and reports in APA, IEEE, or BibTeX formats.
Why use it?
It keeps a multi-paper review consistent and reduces the chance of overlooking important themes or comparing papers using different standards. It is meant for a broad literature synthesis, not a deep review of one paper.

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

systematic-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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/arxiv_search.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Systematic Literature Review Skill

Overview

This skill produces a structured systematic literature review (SLR) across multiple academic papers on a research topic. Given a topic query, it searches arXiv, extracts structured metadata (research question, methodology, key findings, limitations) from each paper in parallel, synthesizes themes across the full set, and emits a final report with consistent citations.

Distinct from academic-paper-review: that skill does deep peer review of a single paper. This skill does breadth-first synthesis across many papers. If the user hands you one paper URL and asks "review this paper", route to academic-paper-review instead.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user wants any of the following:

  • A literature survey on a topic ("survey transformer attention variants", "review the literature on diffusion models")
  • A synthesis across multiple papers ("what do recent papers say about X", "compare methodologies across papers on Y")
  • A systematic review with consistent citation format ("do an SLR on Z in APA format")
  • An annotated bibliography on a topic
  • An overview of research trends in a field over a time window

Do not use this skill when:

  • The user provides exactly one paper and asks to review it (use academic-paper-review)
  • The user asks a factual question that does not require synthesizing multiple sources (answer directly)
  • The user wants general web research without academic rigor (use standard web search)

Workflow

The workflow has five phases. Follow them in order.

Phase 1: Plan

Before doing any retrieval, confirm the following with the user. If any of these are unclear, ask one clarifying question that covers the missing pieces. Do not ask one question at a time.

  • Topic: the research area in plain English (e.g. "transformer attention variants").
  • Scope: how many papers (default 20, hard upper bound 50), optional time window (e.g. "last 2 years"), optional arXiv category (e.g. cs.CL, cs.CV).
  • Citation format: APA, IEEE, or BibTeX (default APA if the user does not specify and does not seem to be writing for a specific venue).
  • Output location: where to save the final report (default /mnt/user-data/outputs/).

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.
