What it does
Literature Synthesis Guide is an agent skill from Jinze-Lee/codex-skills-workbench. Follow the bundled literature-synthesis guide. Use this skill only when the user explicitly invokes $literature-synthesis-guide. Do not auto-select this skill for general literature review, summarization, or search tasks.
Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/source-note.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Summarization and Literature review.
When your agent uses it
- Explicitly invokes $literature-synthesis-guide
- Tasks that involve Summarization
- Tasks that involve Literature review
Example prompts
- “/literature-synthesis-guide”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read references/source-note.md first.
- Follow the note's evidence rules, scope boundaries, and output requirements closely.
- Preserve the original distinction between direct library evidence and any non-library background context.
- Replace stale library paths or filenames with the current source collection while keeping the same evidence discipline.
- If the note conflicts with the current user request, follow the current request and explain the adjustment.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7aa34a5. 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
Literature Synthesis Guide loads about 297 tokens when it runs, and up to ~619 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 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 109 words (~297 tokens).
“Use references/source-note.md as the source of truth for this skill.”
