lit-search

by Research Skills

Runs an exhaustive time-windowed literature search over a research topic and delivers a quality-tiered DOI list plus a matching formatted reference list, with measurable recall (gold-set recall, PRISMA counts, citation-closure saturation). Use for systematic reviews / SLR, 开题报告, 挑战赛调研, or any "把某方向近 N 年文献检索全/理一遍/梳理一遍/查全" request. Builds the corpus — not for reading or summarizing the papers themselves, and not for writing the review text. Not for casual "find me a few papers" lookups.

research-proposalUse when the user asks to write or draft a PhD / doctoral research proposal, research plan, 研究计划书, or 开题报告 — a forward-looking plan of background, gap, research questions, methodology, timeline, and significance, in English or Chinese. Triggers: "write a research proposal", "PhD proposal", "doctoral proposal", "研究计划书", "开题报告", "写博士研究计划". Not for backward-looking literature reviews / 综述 / surveys (use medical-imaging-review), nor grant forms bound to a funder's own template (国自然/NSF).3 installs paper-slide-deckUse when the user wants visually striking, shareable slide-deck IMAGES from any content — an article, blog post, topic, or paper — where look-and-feel matters more than editable precision (风格化幻灯/小红书配图/公众号配图/视觉化海报), optimized for reading and social sharing rather than live presentation. Offers 17 T2I aesthetic styles (watercolor, sketch-notes, pixel-art, editorial, chalkboard, etc.); each slide is an AI-generated image (Gemini/Nano Banana), so the look is distinctive but text/math/data are baked into the image (not editable). NOT for a faithful academic talk where equations, numbers, tables, and citations must stay exact, editable, and projector-ready (组会/答辩/thesis defense/conference/results-heavy talks) — for that use scholar-slides instead, since text-to-image will garble math and data.1 installs scholar-slidesUse when the user wants a research paper, arXiv/DOI link, or research topic turned into academic slides — journal club / lab meeting (组会汇报), thesis defense (答辩幻灯片), conference or job talk (学术报告), poster, or grant pitch — or shares a paper and asks to "make slides / 做成 PPT / 讲一下这篇论文", especially when equations, numbers, figures, and citations must stay accurate and editable. NOT for marketing/pitch decks with no scholarly source, and NOT for writing the paper itself.1 installs survey-director综述总监 (Survey Director) — 负责AI/ML前沿综述论文的选题规划、大纲设计、任务分配与终审。当用户提出综述写作需求时激活。协调 5 个 Agent 完成从选题到终稿的全流程。0 installs medical-imaging-reviewUse when the user asks to plan, conduct, document, synthesize, or draft a medical imaging AI narrative review or method survey, scoping review, or systematic review with qualitative synthesis, including protocol design, literature search, screening, extraction, risk-of-bias appraisal, or evidence synthesis. Do not use this skill to perform a meta-analysis or umbrella review; route those requests to a specialized evidence-synthesis methods workflow.0 installs paper-analyst论文分析师 (Paper Analyst) — 负责精读论文、提取方法细节、构建对比表。当被研究主管或文献侦查员指派分析论文时激活。对 Top 20 核心论文进行结构化分析，生成论文分析卡片和跨论文对比表。0 installs

The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/research-skills-lit-search/ 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 lit-search work with?

lit-search 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 lit-search 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 lit-search after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/research-skills-lit-search` (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 lit-search 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.
