Evidence Insight
multi-database-literature-collector
Collects candidate biomedical literature across multiple databases, adapts search logic by database, preserves source metadata, and organizes results into a structured, screening-ready candidate pool. Always use this skill when a user wants cross-database literature collection, search strategy construction, candidate paper aggregation, or first-pass evidence organization before deduplication, screening, layered reading, or review planning. Requires real and verifiable literature records only. Every formal literature item must include a real link and DOI when available; never fabricate citations, titles, authors, years, journals, abstracts, PMIDs, or DOIs.

| Scientific Integrity | PASS | Hard verification rule enforced: never output a paper unless real and verifiable; fabricated DOIs, PMIDs, titles, authors, years, journals, abstracts, and links explicitly forbidden. |

Core Capability91 / 100 — 8 Categories
Functional Suitability
10 hard rules, 9 mandatory reference modules, and 10-section required output (A–J) ensure complete coverage of all collection, adaptation, normalization, prioritization, and deduplication tasks.
12 / 12
100%
Reliability
Strong verification rules prevent fabrication; offline mode boundary (search plan vs. completed collection) not explicitly labeled in the skill, creating a reliability gap under non-retrieval conditions.
10 / 12
83%
Performance & Context
287-line SKILL.md with 9 reference modules is within acceptable bounds; minor overhead from 10 mandatory sections but justified by the breadth of cross-database collection scope.
7 / 8
88%
Agent Usability
Very strong learnability and consistency via 5 valid input patterns, sample triggers, and scope redirect template; minor gap in composability interface documentation for downstream skills.
15 / 16
94%
Human Usability
Scope redirect template, 5 valid input patterns, and sample triggers provide excellent discoverability; 10-section output structure is self-documenting for users.
8 / 8
100%
Security
Hard fabrication prohibition covers titles, authors, DOIs, PMIDs, years, journals, abstracts, and links; no credential or prompt injection risks present in Mode A execution.
12 / 12
100%
Maintainability
All 9 reference files explicitly cross-referenced in SKILL.md steps and output sections; clean modular structure. Minor gap: no reference module owns the offline-mode framing rule.
11 / 12

Agent-Specific
Four-tier priority layering (Tier 1/2/3/P) and deduplication readiness section are strong composability features; skill is positioned clearly as upstream in the evidence workflow. Lacks a formal composability interface declaration for downstream consumers.

Key Strengths
- Hard verification rule covering all fabrication surfaces (titles, authors, DOIs, PMIDs, years, journals, abstracts, links) is the strongest integrity safeguard for a literature collection skill
- Database-specific search adaptation (separate syntax per database) reflects sophisticated search-strategy engineering that reduces false positives from generic cross-database queries
- Four-tier priority layering (Tier 1/2/3/P) with a dedicated preprint tier provides excellent first-pass screening organization and prevents peer-reviewed/preprint conflation
- Mandatory blind spots section (Section I) prevents false completeness claims and sets correct user expectations for coverage gaps
