Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s172kehers3wd9ajz7fymawqnn843cz8:literature-review-cn

Node.js workspace detected. Install dependencies securely: run `npm ci --ignore-scripts` to prevent post-install lifecycle triggers from running arbitrary code, then selectively audit the dependency tree.
Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

# Literature Review

Help write academic literature reviews using a multi-engine search integration (S2, OA, CR, PM).

## Capabilities

- **Multi-Source Search**: Find relevant academic papers using Semantic Scholar (S2), OpenAlex (OA), Crossref (CR), and PubMed (PM).
- **Full Abstracts**: All sources now return complete abstracts (PubMed uses `efetch` for full XML records).
- **DOI Extraction**: DOIs are extracted from all sources for cross-referencing and deduplication.
- **Automatic Deduplication**: When searching multiple sources (`--source all` or `--source both`), results are automatically deduplicated by DOI.
- **Polite Access**: Automatic email identification for OpenAlex/Crossref "Polite Pool" (via `USER_EMAIL` env var).
- **Abstract Reconstruction**: Reconstructs abstracts from OpenAlex inverted index format.
- **Synthesis**: Group papers by theme and draft review sections based on metadata.

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Purpose | Default |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `USER_EMAIL` | Email for polite API access | `anonymous@example.org` |
| `CLAWDBOT_EMAIL` | Fallback if USER_EMAIL not set | — |
| `SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY` | Optional S2 API key for higher rate limits | — |
| `OPENALEX_API_KEY` | Optional OpenAlex API key | — |

## Workflows

### 1. Broad Search (All Bases)
Get a comprehensive overview from all major academic databases. Results are automatically deduplicated by DOI.
```bash
python3 scripts/lit_search.py search "impact of glycyrrhiza on bifidobacterium" --limit 5 --source all
```

### 2. Targeted Search
- **OpenAlex** (`oa`): Fast and comprehensive, good abstracts.
- **Semantic Scholar** (`s2`): High-quality citation data and TL;DRs.
- **Crossref** (`cr`): Precise DOI-based metadata (no abstracts).
- **PubMed** (`pm`): Gold standard for biomedical research, full abstracts and PMIDs.

```bash
python3 scripts/lit_search.py search "prebiotic effects of liquorice" --source pm
```

### 3. Comparing Sources
Search both S2 and OA simultaneously to ensure nothing is missed. Deduplicated by default.
```bash
python3 scripts/lit_search.py search "Bifidobacterium infantis growth" --source both
```

### 4. Getting Full Details (S2)
Retrieve detailed metadata including TL;DR summaries.
```bash
python3 scripts/lit_search.py details "DOI:10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136000"
```

### 5. Writing the Review
1.  **Extract**: Pull key findings from the abstracts found.
2.  **Organize**: Group findings into a logical structure (e.g., chronological or thematic).
3.  **Draft**: Use the "Think step-by-step" approach to synthesize multiple sources into a coherent narrative.

## Description:

Assistance with writing literature reviews by searching for academic sources via Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref and PubMed APIs.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[jirboy](https://clawhub.ai/user/jirboy)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

External users and researchers use this skill to search academic databases, retrieve paper metadata and abstracts, compare source coverage, and draft literature review sections with citation-aware source details.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: Literature search terms are sent to Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, and PubMed, and optional email or API-key environment variables may identify the caller to those services.

Mitigation: Avoid sensitive search terms and set USER_EMAIL, CLAWDBOT_EMAIL, SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY, or OPENALEX_API_KEY only when that disclosure is intended.

Risk: Academic metadata and abstracts can vary by source, and Crossref results may lack abstracts.

Mitigation: Cross-check DOI or PMID records against source databases before using citations or conclusions in a final review.
