lit-search

lit-search is a Literature review & citations skill for AI agents, published by luwill in the research-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates lit-search D (62/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

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.
