literature-review

literature-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from h4vzz/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (2,162 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of literature-review, MIT.

A structured workflow for reviewing published research and other academic sources. It defines search rules, filters studies, extracts findings, and combines them into a summary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to conduct literature reviews for academic questions, technology landscapes, and evidence-based decisions.
Why use it?
It makes the selection and comparison of sources explicit, so the review is easier to audit and less arbitrary.

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 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.

Literature Review

This skill enables an AI agent to conduct a rigorous, structured literature review following established academic methodology. The agent defines a search strategy with targeted keywords, applies explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria to filter results, extracts key data from selected papers, and synthesizes the findings into a thematic narrative with a summary table and reference list. The workflow is inspired by systematic review practices (including PRISMA-style reporting) and is suitable for academic research, technology landscape analysis, and evidence-based decision making.

Workflow

  1. Define the Research Question and Scope: Work with the user to formulate a precise research question using a framework such as PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) or a domain-appropriate equivalent. Establish the review's scope: time range, languages, source types (journal articles, conference papers, preprints), and any domain constraints.

  2. Develop the Search Strategy: Generate a set of search queries using combinations of primary keywords, synonyms, and Boolean operators. Identify the databases and sources to search (e.g., Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, PubMed, ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore). Document the complete search strategy for reproducibility.

  3. Screen and Filter Results: Apply predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria to the search results. Inclusion criteria typically cover topic relevance, publication date range, study type, and language. Exclusion criteria filter out duplicates, non-peer-reviewed opinion pieces, retracted papers, and off-topic results. Record the number of papers at each stage for a PRISMA-style flow.

  4. Extract Key Data: For each included paper, extract structured information: title, authors, year, venue, research question, methodology, key findings, limitations, and relevance to the review question. Store this data in a consistent format (table or structured notes) for cross-paper comparison.
