research-survey

research-survey is a skill for Claude Code from CamusGIT/EvoQuant. It costs 125 tokens per session (2,143 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of research-survey, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for building structured literature surveys from a collection of research papers. A literature survey summarises and compares existing work in a field, often by grouping methods into categories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create literature reviews, field overviews, or systematic reviews from existing papers, including taxonomy-based method analysis and LaTeX-ready sections.
Why use it?
It turns a large paper collection into an organised report through outlining, drafting, expansion, refinement, and reference assembly. It also makes clear that papers must be collected first.

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

research-survey 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 1mo 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.

Research Survey

Generates high-quality, survey-grade literature reviews from papers collected by paper-navigator.

Stage 1: Generate Outline (query-type adaptive structure)
    ↓
Stage 2: Draft Survey (outline + top-30 papers)

Stage 6: Assemble + References

When to Use

  • User asks for a "literature review", "survey", "field overview", or "systematic review"
  • User has collected papers and wants them synthesized into a structured report
  • User wants to understand the full landscape of a research field

When NOT to Use

  • Finding papers → use paper-navigator first, then come here
  • Generating research ideas → use research-ideation
  • Writing a Related Work section for a paper → use paper-writing

Dependency: paper-navigator

This skill requires papers as input. If the user hasn't provided papers, first invoke paper-navigator (Workflow 1, target 30-120 papers) to collect them.

CRITICAL: All paper discovery MUST use the paper-navigator skill and its scripts (scholar_search, citation_traverse, arxiv_monitor, recommend, etc.). Using WebSearch, WebFetch, or any generic web search tool for finding papers is PROHIBITED. Generic web search cannot access Semantic Scholar, citation graphs, or academic recommendation systems. Only paper-navigator provides the academic search infrastructure needed for survey-quality literature collection.


Stage 1: Generate Outline

This is a two-phase process. Different fields have different survey conventions — a clinical systematic review looks nothing like a CS methods survey. First generate a domain-appropriate template, then create the detailed outline.

Phase 1A: Generate Domain-Specific Survey Template

Before outlining, identify the field and adapt the structure:

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.
