Communications-domain literature review with Claude-style knowledge-base-first retrieval.

  • Works in 2 steps: Search External Primary Sources → Extract Paper-Level Facts
  • The task is about communications
  • SKILL.md covers Purpose, Constants, Source Selection and Retrieval Order, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Comm Lit Review Claude Single is an agent skill from AI4Scientist/nano-scientist. Communications-domain literature review with Claude-style knowledge-base-first retrieval. Use when the task is about communications, wireless, networking, satellite/NTN, Wi-Fi, cellular, transport protocols, congestion control, routing, scheduling, MAC/PHY, rate adaptation, channel estimation, beamforming, or communication-system research and the user wants papers, related work, a survey, or a landscape summary. Search Zotero, Obsidian, and local paper folders first when available, then search IEEE Xplore…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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, Citation management and Knowledge bases. It works with Obsidian and Zotero. The repository describes itself as: An autonomous research agent that turns a topic into a peer-reviewed technical report.

When your agent uses it

  • The task is about communications
  • Transport protocols
  • Congestion control
  • Rate adaptation

Example prompts

  • “/comm-lit-review-claude-single”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, Write, Agent, mcp__zotero__*, mcp__obsidian-vault__*

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Search External Primary Sources
  2. Extract Paper-Level Facts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7132192. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(*)
    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebSearch
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Agent
    • mcp__zotero__*
    • mcp__obsidian-vault__*

    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

Comm Lit Review Claude Single loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,112 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~152
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash(*), Read, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, Write, Agent, mcp__zotero__*, mcp__obsidian-vault__*

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 1,112 words (~2,216 tokens).
