What it does
Systematic Review is an agent skill from aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw. Structured methodology for comprehensive literature review following PRISMA guidelines. Use during literature search and screening stages.
Its SKILL.md is about 250 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review. It works with Prisma. The repository describes itself as: Fully autonomous & self-evolving research from idea to paper. Chat an Idea. Get a Paper. 🦞. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Literature review
Example prompts
- “/systematic-review”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Define clear inclusion/exclusion criteria BEFORE searching
- Use multiple databases (Semantic Scholar, arXiv, OpenAlex)
- Search with both broad and narrow queries
- Screen by title/abstract first, then full text
- Extract: method, dataset, metrics, key findings
- Synthesize gaps and opportunities, not just summaries
- Prioritize recent (last 2-3 years) high-citation papers
- Include at least one seminal/foundational paper per sub-topic
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be4ba47. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Systematic Review loads about 246 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Systematic Review Best Practice
Follow PRISMA-like methodology for literature search:
- Define clear inclusion/exclusion criteria BEFORE searching
- Use multiple databases (Semantic Scholar, arXiv, OpenAlex)
- Search with both broad and narrow queries
- Screen by title/abstract first, then full text
- Extract: method, dataset, metrics, key findings
- Synthesize gaps and opportunities, not just summaries
- Prioritize recent (last 2-3 years) high-citation papers
- Include at least one seminal/foundational paper per sub-topic
