literature-review-toolsResearch-literature workflow guide for evidence-matrix assembly, citation-table normalization, structured review synthesis, and research-gap mapping.
Literature Review Tools is an agent skill from DrugClaw/DrugClaw. Research-literature workflow guide for evidence-matrix assembly, citation-table normalization, structured review synthesis, and research-gap mapping. Use when the user asks for systematic or scoped literature review workflows, citation cleanup, evidence tables, or manuscript-ready review preparation for drug-discovery and biomedical topics.
Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `templates/citation_table_normalize.py` and `templates/evidence_matrix.py`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review, Citation management and Database schema design. The repository describes itself as: 💊 AI Research Assistant for Accelerated Drug Discovery. 🦞. The licence is Apache-2.0.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 960a6e0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Literature Review Tools loads about 923 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 281 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.
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.

Typical triggers:

Literature Review Tools is an agent skill from DrugClaw/DrugClaw. Research-literature workflow guide for evidence-matrix assembly, citation-table normalization, structured review synthesis, and research-gap mapping.
Literature Review Tools fits situations like: the user asks for systematic; scoped literature review workflows; citation cleanup; evidence tables.
Run `npx skills add DrugClaw/DrugClaw --skill literature-review-tools -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/science/literature-review-tools in DrugClaw/DrugClaw) into .claude/skills/literature-review-tools in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add DrugClaw/DrugClaw --skill literature-review-tools -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/science/literature-review-tools in DrugClaw/DrugClaw) into .agents/skills/literature-review-tools in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add DrugClaw/DrugClaw --skill literature-review-tools -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/literature-review-tools, .gemini/skills/literature-review-tools, .github/skills/literature-review-tools and .opencode/skills/literature-review-tools in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Literature Review Tools needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Literature Review Tools is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 923 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
