What it does
Literature Review is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Structure and write a literature review for any research topic. Use when asked to write a literature review, systematic review summary, narrative review, or research background section. Produces a structured review with thematic organisation, critical analysis, and gap identification.
Its SKILL.md is about 980 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. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to write a literature review
- Systematic review summary
- Narrative review
- Research background section
Example prompts
- “/literature-review”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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 Review loads about 980 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 459 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.

- Structure and write a literature review for any research topic. Use when asked to write a literature review, systematic review summary, narrative review, or research background section. Produces a structured review with thematic organisation, critical analysis, and gap identification.
Literature Review Skill
Structures and writes literature reviews — from background sections of a dissertation through to standalone narrative reviews for publication.
Not quite this? Use
literature-review-builderwhen you are a student building an argued review from a reading list.
Required Inputs
- Topic or research question
- Type of review (narrative / systematic / scoping / integrative / background section)
- Sources provided (paste references, abstracts, or key findings)
- Word count target
- Audience (academic journal / thesis / grant proposal / policy brief)
- Time period to cover
Output Structure
1. Search Strategy Summary (for systematic/scoping reviews)
Databases: [PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, etc.] Search terms: [Key terms and Boolean combinations] Inclusion criteria: Study types, population, date range, language Exclusion criteria: [List] Results: [n] identified → [n] after deduplication → [n] screened → [n] included
2. Literature Review Body
Organised thematically — not chronologically. Each theme = one section.
Structure per thematic section:
[Theme heading]
[Opening: state what this section covers and what evidence shows overall]
[Evidence synthesis: present what multiple studies found, compare and contrast. Do NOT summarise one paper then the next — synthesise across them: "Three studies found X (Smith, 2019; Jones, 2020; Lee, 2021), while two found Y, with the difference attributable to..."]
[Critical analysis: note methodological strengths and weaknesses — sample sizes, study designs, generalisability, risk of bias]
[Closing: transition to next theme]
3. Synthesis Table (systematic/scoping reviews)
| Author, year | Study design | Population | n | Key findings | Quality/Limitations |
|---|
4. Gap Analysis
Well-established: [What literature consistently shows] Contested: [Areas where evidence is mixed and why] Missing: [Gaps the field needs to address] How your study addresses the gap: [If this is for a research proposal]
5. Conclusion Paragraph
[3-5 sentences. Current state of knowledge and what is needed next]
Show full SKILL.md (187 more words)Show less
Critical Analysis Framework
For each paper: internal validity, external validity, bias types, effect size significance vs clinical significance, funding conflicts.
Quality Checks
- Organised thematically (not as individual paper summaries)
- Evidence synthesised across papers (not summarised one by one)
- Critical analysis of methodology included for key studies
- Gaps identified — what the field still needs
- All claims cited
Anti-Patterns
- Do not summarise papers one by one — evidence must be synthesised thematically across multiple studies, not presented as a sequence of abstracts
- Do not omit methodological critique — a literature review that only reports findings without assessing study quality is not a critical review
- Do not organise by chronology when thematic organisation is possible — chronological reviews bury the conceptual structure of the field
- Do not present contested findings as settled consensus — where evidence is mixed, name both sides and why the evidence diverges
- Do not skip the gap analysis — identifying what the field still needs is a core deliverable, not an optional addition
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Write a literature review on [topic]"
- "Synthesise the evidence on [topic] from these papers: [paste]"
- "Write the background section for my research proposal on [topic]"
