foreign-literature-search

foreign-literature-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yipng05-max/-skills. It costs 169 tokens per session (3,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A search tool for finding English-language academic research in the social sciences. It uses OpenAlex, an open research database, to search related keyword groups, add background and theory sources, remove duplicates, and create an Excel summary plus search expressions for Web of Science or Scopus.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for SSCI or SCI papers, international literature, research on a topic, or sources for searches in Web of Science and Scopus.
Why use it?
It helps find relevant foreign-language research without requiring an institutional database account or API key.

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

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/songyiping/.claude/skills/foreign-literature-search/scripts/openalex_search.py.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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

foreign-literature-search 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 12d ago.

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

Step 0: 解析输入并制定检索策略

0.1 关键词组设计原则

从研究选题中提取 2-3 个核心概念组,每组内扩展同义词(+ 分隔),组间取 AND 交集。

关键注意:过滤组的词语应足够具体,避免使用 "meaning"、"identity" 这类极泛词(会在所有社科文献中出现)。优先使用复合短语:

避免(太泛) 改用(更具体)
meaning meaning of work + work meaning + meaningful work
identity occupational identity + worker identity + professional identity
control labor control + algorithmic control + managerial control
change livelihood change + occupational transition + career change

选题示例:"快车司机的生计变迁与意义建构"

组1(研究对象,主检索):gig economy + platform labor + ride-hailing + Uber driver + DiDi
组2(核心议题,后置过滤):meaning of work + work meaning + occupational identity + livelihood

0.2 上位概念兜底

若某组词过于精确(新兴概念、特定群体),主动加入上位概念:

精确词 上位概念兜底
ride-hailing driver + gig worker + platform worker + precarious worker
meaning-making + identity work + self-concept + sensemaking
algorithmic management + digital labor + platform capitalism

0.3 向用户确认策略

执行前列出检索方案,等用户确认:

【主体联合检索】
组1(主检索):gig economy + platform labor + ride-hailing + Uber driver
组2(后置过滤):meaning of work + work meaning + occupational identity + livelihood

【独立补充检索】(主检索完成后必做)
补充A(研究对象背景):precarious work + informal economy × labor market + working conditions
补充B(核心理论):identity work + sensemaking + meaning-making × labor + work + occupation

WoS 布尔检索式(同步生成,供有机构权限用户使用)

Step 0.5: 生成 WoS / Scopus 布尔检索式

在执行脚本之前,根据关键词组生成标准布尔检索式,输出给用户备用:

Web of Science(SSCI)

TS = ("gig economy" OR "platform labor" OR "ride-hailing" OR "Uber driver")
AND TS = ("meaning of work" OR "occupational identity" OR "livelihood" OR "worker identity")
AND WC = (Sociology OR "Industrial Relations" OR "Labor Relations")

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

foreign-literature-search is a skill published in the GitHub repository yipng05-max/-skills (285 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 169 tokens to every session and 3,412 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
