What it does
Lit Review is an agent skill from maxwell2732/paper-replicate-agent-demo. Structured literature search and synthesis with citation extraction and gap identification
Its SKILL.md is about 730 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 and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: A structured Claude Code workflow for empirically replicating published research using UK Biobank (UKB) data, created by Chen Zhu 朱晨 | 遗传社科研究.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Literature review
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “/lit-review”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Write, WebSearch, WebFetch
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Parse the topic from $ARGUMENTS. If a specific paper is named, use it as the anchor.
- Search for related work using available tools
- Organize findings into these categories
- Identify gaps and opportunities
- Extract citations in BibTeX format for all papers discussed.
- Save the report to quality_reports/lit_review_[sanitized_topic].md
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 83399e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGrepGlobWriteWebSearchWebFetch
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).
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
Lit Review loads about 728 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 156 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
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 156 words (~728 tokens).
“Conduct a structured literature search and synthesis on the given topic.”
