litreview
Searches academic literature through free, keyless PubMed and OpenAlex APIs, optionally augments results with Consensus MCP when connected, builds a PICO, SPIDER, decomposition, or hybrid search plan, and produces a formatted Word research-orientation guide. Uses brief intake and post-reconnaissance checkpoints to confirm the framework, sub-areas, and depth (5, 10, or 20 queries) before spending the search budget. The output is a launching pad, not a finished review. Use when the user requests a literature review, starts a paper or literature-oriented research project, or needs structured research on a topic. Do NOT use for a single paper lookup or a quick paper list; use a plain PubMed, OpenAlex, or Consensus query instead.

What does the litreview skill do?
Searches academic literature through free, keyless PubMed and OpenAlex APIs, optionally augments results with Consensus MCP when connected, builds a PICO, SPIDER, decomposition, or hybrid search plan, and produces a formatted Word research-orientation guide. Uses brief intake and post-reconnaissance checkpoints to confirm the framework, sub-areas, and depth (5, 10, or 20 queries) before spending the search budget. The output is a launching pad, not a finished review. Use when the user requests a literature review, starts a paper or literature-oriented research project, or needs structured research on a topic. Do NOT use for a single paper lookup or a quick paper list; use a plain PubMed, OpenAlex, or Consensus query instead. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the litreview skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install alirezarezvani-litreview` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/alirezarezvani-litreview/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does litreview work with?
litreview runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the litreview skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use litreview after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/alirezarezvani-litreview` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the litreview skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
