What it does
Research Lit is an agent skill from CurryTang/Amadeus. Search and analyze research papers, find related work, summarize key ideas. Use when user says "find papers", "related work", "literature review", "what does this paper say", or needs to understand academic papers.
Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 and Academic paper search. It works with Model Context Protocol and Obsidian. The repository describes itself as: Your personal AI research assistant that automatically reads, summarizes, organizes, and acts on academic papers.
When your agent uses it
- User says find papers
- Literature review
- What does this paper say
- Needs to understand academic papers
Example prompts
- “find papers”
- “related work”
- “literature review”
- “/research-lit”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(*), Read, Glob, Grep, WebSearch, WebFetch, Write, Agent, mcp__auto-researcher__*, mcp__zotero__*, mcp__obsidian-vault__*
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Search the Web
- Analyze Each Paper
- Synthesize
- Output
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72f0e2f. 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(*)ReadGlobGrepWebSearchWebFetchWriteAgentmcp__auto-researcher__*mcp__zotero__*
…and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.
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
Research Lit loads about 963 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 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: 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__auto-researcher__*, mcp__zotero__
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 460 words (~963 tokens).
