What it does

Tooluniverse Literature Deep Research is an agent skill from wu-yc/LabClaw. Conduct comprehensive literature research with target disambiguation, evidence grading, and structured theme extraction. Creates a detailed report with mandatory completeness checklist, biological model synthesis, and testable hypotheses. For biological targets, resolves official IDs (Ensembl/UniProt), synonyms, naming collisions, and gathers expression/pathway context before literature search. Default deliverable is a report file; for single factoid questions, uses a fast verification mode and may include an…

Its SKILL.md is about 8.2k 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 and Deep research. It works with Ensembl and UniProt. The repository describes itself as: LabClaw – Operating Layer for LabOS (Stanford-Princeton AI Co-Scientists).

When your agent uses it

  • Users need thorough literature reviews
  • Target profiles
  • Verify specific claims from the literature

Example prompts

  • “/tooluniverse-literature-deep-research”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Initial Clarification
  2. Target Disambiguation + Profile (Default ON)
  3. Literature Search (Internal Methodology)
  4. Evidence Grading

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit df37802. 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, python and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • doi.org

    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

Tooluniverse Literature Deep Research loads about 8.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 171 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,854 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~171
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~8.2k

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 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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,854 words (~8,199 tokens).

“A systematic approach to comprehensive literature research that starts with target disambiguation to prevent missing details, uses evidence grading to separate signal from noise, and produces a content-focused report with mandatory completeness sections.”
