It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management and Literature review. The repository describes itself as: AI Skills for Economists.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Citation management
- Tasks that involve Literature review
Example prompts
- “/lit-review-assistant”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): ["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Define the Research Domain
- Structure the Search
- Organize and Synthesize
- Identify Patterns and Gaps
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dd890d5. 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).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
aeaweb.orgnber.orgideas.repec.orgconnectedpapers.com
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.
Compatibility
["claude-code","cursor","codex","gemini-cli"]
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Lit Review Assistant loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 19 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 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 389 words (~1,672 tokens).
“This skill helps economists conduct literature reviews by structuring searches, summarizing papers, and synthesizing findings. It provides templates for organizing literature and identifying research gaps.”
