literature-review

90 / 100 · Low risk

Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.

By aipoch/open-science (GitHub) · research · 5,526 stars · scanned at commit c4ae79b

Find, verify, and synthesize scientific literature — from "what's the seminal paper for X" through full multi-source reviews. Covers grounding claims in real retrieved sources, avoiding fabricated citations, handling retractions, and calibrating confidence to evidence strength.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'literature-review' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'literature-review' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named literature-review already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/aipoch/open-science' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'c4ae79ba6ca5c97dcb1fb27518acda85319d7115' -- 'resources/skills/literature-review' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'resources/skills/literature-review' ~/.agents/skills/'literature-review' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'literature-review' ~/.claude/skills/'literature-review' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
