What it does
Literature Review Builder is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Structure a literature review that argues, not lists — thematic synthesis from your sources with the debate mapped and the gap identified. Use when asked to write or structure a literature review, organize my sources, synthesize these papers, or find the gap for my thesis. Produces a themed review skeleton with your sources placed in conversation, the points of scholarly disagreement, the gap your work addresses, and an honest register of what you haven't read yet.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/worked-example.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Literature review and Essays and academic help. 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
- Structure a literature review
- Organize my sources
- Synthesize these papers
- Find the gap for my thesis

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list 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 Builder loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 124 tokens; SKILL.md has 502 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.

- description
- Structure a literature review that argues, not lists — thematic synthesis from your sources with the debate mapped and the gap identified. Use when asked to write or structure a literature review, organize my sources, synthesize these papers, or find the gap for my thesis. Produces a themed review skeleton with your sources placed in conversation, the points of scholarly disagreement, the gap your work addresses, and an honest register of what you haven't read yet.
Literature Review Builder Skill
A literature review is an argument about a field, not an annotated bibliography wearing paragraphs. This skill organizes the sources the student actually has into themes, puts authors in conversation ("X finds…, but Y's data suggests…"), and drives toward the only sentence that matters: here is the gap this work addresses. It works only from provided sources — it never invents citations.
What This Skill Produces
- A thematic skeleton — sections by debate/theme, never by paper
- Sources in conversation — agreement, contradiction, and method differences made explicit
- The gap statement — what the reviewed field doesn't answer, phrased as the study's justification
- The unread register — cited-by-others works the student should chase, clearly marked as not-yet-read
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The sources — abstracts, notes, or full summaries of what the student has actually read (author/year minimum)
- The research question or thesis topic — the review argues toward it
- The level — course essay vs honors thesis vs graduate calibrates depth and voice
- Citation style if it matters (APA/MLA/Chicago)
Framework
- Theme extraction: cluster sources by what they disagree about or approach differently — themes are debates, not topics.
- The conversation move: every paragraph should contain at least two sources in relation ("builds on," "contradicts," "same finding, different method").
- Method matters: where findings conflict, check the methods first — "X (survey, n=2,000) vs Y (interviews, n=12)" is often the resolution.
- The funnel: broad field → the specific debate → the unanswered piece → "this study addresses…" The gap must follow from the review, not appear beside it.
- Citation integrity: only provided sources appear in the review. Missing-but-important works go to the unread register — never into the text as if read.
Output Format
Literature Review Skeleton: [topic]
Research question: … The gap (draft): …
Theme 1: [the debate, phrased as a question]
[Sources in conversation, with the tension explicit; method notes where findings conflict] […themes…]

The Gap
[What the field, as reviewed, does not answer — and the one-sentence bridge to this study]
Unread Register
[Works cited by your sources that likely matter — chase before submission; marked NOT YET READ]
Quality Checks
- Sections are themes/debates — no section is one paper's summary
- Every citation traces to a provided source
- Conflicting findings are examined via their methods
- The gap statement follows from the reviewed material
- The unread register is present and honest
Anti-Patterns
- Do not organize paper-by-paper — "Smith found… Jones found…" is a list; reviewers call it exactly that
- Do not invent or embellish citations — a fabricated source is an integrity case, not a shortcut; work only from what was provided
- Do not flatten disagreements into "scholars have various views" — name who disagrees with whom about what
- Do not let the gap appear from nowhere — if the review didn't establish it, the review isn't done
- Do not write the student's analysis for them at thesis level — the skeleton and the connections are scaffolding; the argument in their voice is theirs
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Structure a literature review."
- "Organize my sources."
- "Synthesize these papers."
- "Find the gap for my thesis."
