AC literature-review

Finds, ranks and reads the literature on a question, the retrieval loop the lead runs itself over OpenAlex, arXiv, Crossref, PubMed and bioRxiv with a fixed budget, deduplication, ranking by topical fit, reading of the load-bearing papers and claim-level links, for related-work sections, prior-art checks, surveys and systematic reviews. Use for "find papers", "what is known about", related work, or a review; escalate to PRISMA screening only when a systematic review is requested. For one quick fact or definition use research-lookup.

How to improve

    For the model run — optional
    • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
    • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

    Process rating: all ten parameters 58/100

    • 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
    • 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
    • 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
    • 30Running it twice. 2 mutating operations with no state check
    • 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
    • 100Tools and files. Tools declared in frontmatter
    • 100Steps. 19 steps
    • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
    • 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1556 tokens
    • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress

    Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
