Why it matters

A literature review is only as good as its sources. This skill builds the review from papers it actually retrieved, with citations you can check.

How to install Literature Review

  1. In OpenClaw. One command installs it from ClawHub:
    openclaw skills install @weird-aftertaste/literature-review
  2. In Claude Code. The ClawHub CLI installs it straight into your project's skills folder:
    npx clawhub --dir .claude/skills install @weird-aftertaste/literature-review
  3. Setup. Works without API keys; set SEMANTIC_SCHOLAR_API_KEY or OPENALEX_API_KEY for higher rate limits, and USER_EMAIL to use OpenAlex and Crossref's polite pool.
  4. In AGNT. Download AGNT free, then add the skill folder from Skills → Import. It runs with the model you choose, next to your agents, workflows and memory.
