literature-reader

literature-reader is a skill for Claude Code from wpsnote/wpsnote-skills. It costs 174 tokens per session (1,627 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A document-reading skill for analysing PDF research papers in English or Chinese and producing structured notes. It can identify a paper’s metadata, research question, methods, results, and an assessment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read one or more PDF papers, summarise or review them, make research notes, analyse methods and results, or compare studies.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually organise findings while reading papers. It also helps compare several papers in a literature review, which is a structured summary of existing research.

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-reader 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/extract_pdf.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.

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.
