What it does
Psychbull Literature Search Strategy is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when designing and documenting the systematic literature search for a Psychological Bulletin review or meta-analysis — databases, search strings, grey literature, deduplication, and a PRISMA-compliant records flow. Builds a reproducible search; it does not screen or code studies.
Its SKILL.md is about 910 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, ORMs and data access and Data cleaning. It works with Prisma. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.
When your agent uses it
- Designing and documenting the systematic literature search for a Psychological Bulletin review
- Meta-analysis — databases
- Grey literature
- A PRISMA-compliant records flow
Example prompts
- “/psychbull-literature-search-strategy”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Multiple databases, not one. At minimum APA PsycINFO, plus MEDLINE/PubMed, **Web of
- Controlled vocabulary + free text. Combine thesaurus terms (APA Thesaurus / MeSH) with
- Grey literature & publication-bias mitigation. Dissertations (ProQuest), preprints (PsyArXiv),
- Backward & forward citation chasing. Reference lists of included studies and prior reviews;
- Supplementary tools. Google Scholar as a supplement (not a primary database, given non-reproducible ranking).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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
Psychbull Literature Search Strategy loads about 908 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 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 344 words (~908 tokens).
“A Psychological Bulletin synthesis stands or falls on its search: it must be systematic, exhaustive, and reproducible, and all systematic reviews must conform to PRISMA. The goal is that an independent team could re-run your search and recover the same…”
