literature-review

literature-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Djtony707/TITAN. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,156 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured process for reviewing academic, biomedical, technical, or scientific literature. It covers finding sources, screening them, combining the evidence, checking citations, and recording the research process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare narrative, scoping, systematic, or meta-analysis reviews and to compare findings across papers, preprints, patents, and technical reports.
Why use it?
A literature review can otherwise become an unsystematic collection of papers with unclear selection criteria. This process helps match the review method to the question and required level of rigour.

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

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.

Literature Review

Use this skill when the task is to find, screen, synthesize, and cite a body of academic or technical literature.

When to Use

  • Building a systematic, scoping, or narrative literature review.
  • Synthesizing the state of the art for a research question.
  • Finding gaps, contradictions, or future-work directions.
  • Preparing citation-backed background sections for papers or reports.
  • Comparing evidence across peer-reviewed papers, preprints, patents, and technical reports.

Review Types

  • Narrative review: broad synthesis; useful for orientation.
  • Scoping review: maps concepts, methods, and evidence gaps.
  • Systematic review: predefined protocol, reproducible search, explicit screening and exclusion.
  • Meta-analysis: systematic review plus quantitative effect aggregation.

Ask the user which level of rigor is needed. If unspecified, default to a scoping review for exploratory work and a systematic review for publication or clinical claims.

Workflow

1. Define the Question

Convert the prompt into a searchable research question.

For clinical or biomedical work, use PICO:

  • Population
  • Intervention or exposure
  • Comparator
  • Outcome

For technical work, use:

  • system or domain
  • method or intervention
  • comparison baseline
  • evaluation metric

2. Plan the Search

Create a search protocol before collecting sources:

  • databases to search
  • date range
  • languages
  • publication types
  • inclusion criteria
  • exclusion criteria
  • exact search strings

Minimum useful database set:

  • PubMed for biomedical and life-sciences literature.
  • arXiv for CS, math, physics, quantitative biology, and preprints.
  • Semantic Scholar or Crossref for broad academic discovery.
  • Domain-specific sources when relevant, such as clinical-trial registries, patent databases, standards bodies, or official technical docs.

3. Search and Log Evidence

Keep a search log that makes the review reproducible:

| Database | Date searched | Query | Filters | Results | Export |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: | --- |
| PubMed | 2026-05-11 | `("CRISPR"[tiab] OR "Cas9"[tiab]) AND "sickle cell"[tiab]` | 2020:2026, English | 86 | PMID list |
| arXiv | 2026-05-11 | `CRISPR sickle cell gene editing` | q-bio, 2020:2026 | 9 | BibTeX |

literature-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository Djtony707/TITAN (19 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,156 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.
