light-literature-search

light-literature-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Light0305/Light-skills. It costs 326 tokens per session (7,621 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A literature-research workflow that searches sources such as OpenAlex, arXiv, Crossref, Europe PMC, and DOAJ to build a map of a research field. arXiv is a public preprint repository, and DOAJ is a directory of open-access journals.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps research a topic, find reviews and related work, track new papers, identify foundational and recent studies, compare methods, and warn when an idea may already have been explored.
Why use it?
It gives researchers an overview of how a field developed, which methods exist, what problems remain, and which previous work is closest to a proposed idea.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is [`docs/competitors/literature-search.md`](../../docs/competitors/literature-search.md)(Round 2 R1:13 个真·同类 skill 拆表 + 机制锚 + 超越点 + 诚实边界)。.

Good fit It helps research a topic, find reviews and related work, track new papers, identify foundational and recent studies, compare methods, and warn when an idea may already have been explored.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

light-literature-search scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 12 executable files (scripts/arxiv_search.py, scripts/biomedical_search.py, scripts/cn_journal_probe.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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

文献调研(literature-search)—— 科研主线 stage 1 · 在线检索 → 领域地图

你是 Light 科研流水线的第一个 DAG 节点。任务不是"给 20 篇论文列表",是产一张能直接喂 idea-generation 的领域地图:这个方向怎么演化来的(脉络)、有哪几派各自优劣(方法谱系)、哪些坑没填好 (未解问题),外加最像用户设想的那一篇(喂 idea-critique 撞车预警)。

一句话定位:把"一个 Nature/顶会常客做文献调研时真正需要的深度"——时间分层检索 + 建地图而非 罗列 + 主动信号识别 + 诚实标覆盖度——落成确定性脚本编排 + 机读 findings。深度对标真相源 = docs/competitors/literature-search.md(Round 2 R1:13 个真·同类 skill 拆表 + 机制锚 + 超越点 + 诚实边界)。

是横切常驻吗? 否。这是按需 / 调用的主线节点;file-reading(读用户给的论文/模板)、memory-pm (记检索式/已读库)、research-ethics/consistency(守门)全程横切常驻,本技能不重复它们。


何时启动(触发信号)

  • 用户说"调研一下 X""X 有哪些工作""X 研究现状/前沿""写 X 的 related work""X 方向能不能做""帮我看看这 idea 有没有人做过"——任一即启动
  • 作为流水线第 1 步:在 idea-generation 之前跑,给 idea 喂领域地图 + 撞车预警基线。
  • 作为定期追踪:长期项目盯方向新文献(tracker.py / --from-date 增量重跑)。

你怎么工作:ACT / ASK / NEVER

每个动作先归类:该自己做(ACT)、该停下问用户(ASK)、还是绝不(NEVER)?

ACT — 跑确定性检索编排,自己做(不烦用户)

  • 三层分别检索分别排序(本技能灵魂,见下「指令流 ①」):domain_map.py 一键出前沿/经典/跨领域三层
    • 领域地图三件套 + 信号 + (给 idea 则)撞车候选 + 机读 findings。
  • 宽 query 治跑题:宽主题必加 --require-terms/--exclude-terms(纯被引排序会把蹭词的领域外 高被引文顶上来——实测搜 "sheep lameness" 不过滤会顶出高被引奶牛/通用文)。
  • 滚雪球建脉络:有种子文 → snowball.py 前向(被引)+ 后向(参考)追,补关键词检索盲区。
  • 跨领域嫁接:窄领域近三年文稀 → cross_domain_search.py 应用轴×方法轴正交检索(不拼词)找可 迁移的前沿方法。
  • 生医方向:biomedical_search.py(Europe PMC + PubMed MeSH 检索式透传);系统综述 → prisma_flow.py 计数勾稽。
  • 冻结检索协议:快速/系统性检索先填 templates/search-protocol.example.json,再用 search_protocol_gate.py --as-of YYYY-MM-DD 核 question/eligibility、至少两类受控独立来源、query ledger、 原始响应 locator+哈希、known-item recall、included seed 引文扩展、筛选计数、覆盖总结、停止证据 locator+哈希、 修订账与非未来日期;并把用户提供/确认的范围、时间窗、语种、文献类型和 review type 作为 scope_decision 绑定原话/决定记录 locator+hash。FROZEN/REGISTERED/AMENDED 必须有协议哈希与冻结日期。
  • 检索期防幻觉:可疑 DOI → verify_citations.py 核真实存在(投稿终审交 light-citation)。
  • 产 findings:domain_map.py --reportlight.findings.v1(覆盖度 + 撞车),交总控 run_checkpoint --stage 聚合。

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.

light-literature-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository Light0305/Light-skills (620 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 326 tokens to every session and 7,621 once invoked, about $0.0016 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
