medsci-agent: Skill for OpenCode

.opencode/skills/literature-review/SKILL.md

literature-review is a skill for OpenCode from omar-A-hassan/medsci-agent. It costs 18 tokens per session (496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repeatable method for finding, assessing, and summarising scientific studies. It uses defined search questions, database queries, documented selection steps, and PRISMA, a reporting standard for systematic reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan searches across databases such as PubMed, record search details, select relevant studies, and prepare a PRISMA-style review.
Why use it?
It reduces ad-hoc searching and makes the review process easier to reproduce and check.

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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

Systematic Literature Review

Overview

A systematic review follows a structured, reproducible methodology to identify, evaluate, and synthesize all relevant evidence on a research question. PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) provides the reporting standard.

Search Strategy

  1. Define PICO: Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome.
  2. Build search query: Combine MeSH terms and free-text with Boolean operators.
  3. Select databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, Embase.
  4. Document everything: Record date, database, exact query, and result count.

PubMed Query Example

("breast cancer"[MeSH] OR "breast neoplasms"[tiab])
AND ("immunotherapy"[MeSH] OR "checkpoint inhibitor"[tiab])
AND ("overall survival"[tiab] OR "progression-free survival"[tiab])

Programmatic PubMed Access

from Bio import Entrez
Entrez.email = "[email protected]"

handle = Entrez.esearch(db="pubmed", term="CRISPR AND cancer", retmax=100)
record = Entrez.read(handle)
pmids = record["IdList"]

handle = Entrez.efetch(db="pubmed", id=pmids[:10], rettype="xml")
records = Entrez.read(handle)

PRISMA Flow

  1. Identification: Total records from all databases.
  2. Screening: Remove duplicates, screen titles/abstracts.
  3. Eligibility: Full-text review against inclusion/exclusion criteria.
  4. Included: Final studies for qualitative/quantitative synthesis.

Key Details

  • Register protocol on PROSPERO before starting.
  • Use reference managers (Zotero, EndNote) for deduplication.
  • Risk of bias: use Cochrane RoB 2 (RCTs) or ROBINS-I (observational).
  • For meta-analysis, extract effect sizes (OR, HR, SMD) with confidence intervals.
  • Report PRISMA 2020 checklist and flow diagram in final publication.
  • Screening tools: Rayyan, ASReview (AI-assisted), Covidence.
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.
