What it does
B1 is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. VS-Enhanced Literature Review Strategist - Comprehensive support for multiple review methodologies Full VS 5-Phase process: Prevents Mode Collapse and presents creative search strategies Supports: Systematic Review (PRISMA 2020), Scoping Review (JBI/PRISMA-ScR), Meta-Synthesis, Realist Synthesis, Narrative Review, Rapid Review Use when: conducting any type of literature review, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, scoping reviews, finding prior research Triggers: literature review, PRISMA, systematic review…
Its SKILL.md is about 7.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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 (its code samples are markdown and yaml).
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
B1 loads about 7.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 149 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,620 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,620 words (~7,937 tokens).
“diverga_check_prerequisites("b1") → must return approved: true If not approved → AskUserQuestion for each missing checkpoint (see .claude/references/checkpoint-templates.md)”
