literature-review

literature-review is a skill for Claude Code from foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills. It costs 86 tokens per session (5,021 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of literature-review, Apache-2.0.

A research assistant for systematic literature reviews across academic databases such as PubMed, arXiv, bioRxiv, and Semantic Scholar. It helps search sources, compare findings, check citations, and produce a review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer focused research questions, synthesize studies, perform meta-analyses or scoping reviews, and identify research gaps. bioRxiv is a site where scientists share biology papers before formal peer review.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of searching many papers and organizing evidence consistently. It also helps avoid inaccurate or incomplete citations.

About the project

Vibe-Skills is a collection and routing system that helps AI agents discover, select, and coordinate specialized skills for completing tasks. It is intended for agents that need to organize workflows across many installed capabilities. The catalogue entries are skills and an agent belonging to this system.

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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/generate_pdf.py, scripts/search_databases.py, scripts/verify_citations.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.

Literature Review

Overview

Conduct systematic, comprehensive literature reviews following rigorous academic methodology. Search multiple literature sources, synthesize findings thematically, verify citations for accuracy, and generate professional output documents in markdown and PDF formats.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

  • Conducting a systematic literature review for research or publication
  • Synthesizing current knowledge on a specific topic across multiple sources
  • Performing meta-analysis or scoping reviews
  • Writing the literature review section of a research paper or thesis
  • Investigating the state of the art in a research domain
  • Identifying research gaps and future directions
  • Requiring verified citations and professional formatting

Core Workflow

Literature reviews follow a structured, multi-phase workflow:

Phase 1: Planning and Scoping

  1. Define Research Question: Use PICO framework (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) for clinical/biomedical reviews

    • Example: "What is the efficacy of CRISPR-Cas9 (I) for treating sickle cell disease (P) compared to standard care (C)?"
  2. Establish Scope and Objectives:

    • Define clear, specific research questions
    • Determine review type (narrative, systematic, scoping, meta-analysis)
    • Set boundaries (time period, geographic scope, study types)
  3. Develop Search Strategy:

    • Identify 2-4 main concepts from research question
    • List synonyms, abbreviations, and related terms for each concept
    • Plan Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to combine terms
    • Select minimum 3 complementary databases
  4. Set Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria:

    • Date range (e.g., last 10 years: 2015-2024)
    • Language (typically English, or specify multilingual)
    • Publication types (peer-reviewed, preprints, reviews)
    • Study designs (RCTs, observational, in vitro, etc.)
    • Document all criteria clearly

Phase 2: Systematic Literature Search

  1. Multi-Database Search:

Changes

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.
