What we know about this skill

Publisher

Taken from the source listing. We haven't verified who controls this account.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned mims-harvard/tooluniverse at f5c37eebeb.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to conduct comprehensive deep research specifically within the field of literature. It allows for the discovery, analysis, and synthesis of literary works, themes, and critical perspectives to support informed discussions or academic inquiries.

When to use it

  • Analyzing complex themes across multiple novels or poems to identify recurring motifs.
  • Preparing detailed summaries and critiques for a literature class or book club discussion.
  • Investigating the historical context and authorial intent behind specific literary periods.
  • Comparing narrative styles and character development between different authors or genres.

Key capabilities

  • Performs deep research focused exclusively on literary domains.
  • Synthesizes information from various literary sources to provide coherent insights.
  • Supports complex queries regarding plot, character arcs, and thematic elements.

Example prompts

  • "Conduct a deep analysis of the symbolism in The Great Gatsby compared to To Kill a Mockingbird."
  • "Research the evolution of Gothic literature from the 18th century to modern adaptations."
  • "Summarize the critical reception of Toni Morrison's work and its impact on contemporary fiction."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your prompts clearly define the specific literary focus (e.g., a genre, author, or era) to maximize the depth of the research returned. This tool is specialized for literature; avoid using it for non-literary topics like science or history.
