Free browser-only tools

Build better research artifacts before Claude drafts the prose.

These tools create protocols, citation checks, and prompt scaffolds in your browser. No signup, no backend, and no research material leaves the page.

Free literature review tool

Protocol Builder

Build an exportable literature review protocol and Claude prompts for search design, screening, extraction, and synthesis.

  • Protocol + prompts: Exports a review protocol, evidence fields, screening labels, and Claude prompts for each stage.
  • Browser-only: No account, server, or upload is used. The generated text is created locally in the page.
  • Scoping reviews: Use it before a formal review to make assumptions, criteria, and human decisions explicit.
Free source verification tool

Citation Checker

Score the risk of an AI-assisted citation by checking existence, identifier resolution, claim support, retraction status, and evidence level.

  • 12 checks: Weights existence, identifiers, passage support, retractions, evidence level, and contradiction checks.
  • Before citing: Run it before a Claude-generated citation enters a paper, memo, evidence table, or grant draft.
  • Score + next steps: Generates a risk band, failed checks, and a markdown verification note.
Free research prompt tool

Prompt Library

Filter and copy field-tested Claude prompts for literature search design, paper triage, methods critique, gap analysis, grants, and reproducibility.

  • Fielded prompts: Prompts are designed around structured outputs, source anchors, missing values, and human verification.
  • Filter + copy: Filter by stage, output, and task. Copy the prompt with placeholders preserved.
  • Research only: The prompts cover scholarly research workflows, not autonomous science agents or Claude Code.

Why the tools are browser-only

Research workflows often involve unpublished manuscripts, participant data, lab notes, or sponsor material. The Phase 2 tools on Claude Researcher are deliberately local: they format your inputs into useful artifacts without uploading them to a service.

Treat each output as a draft. Run searches in scholarly databases, verify citations against primary sources, and keep final prompts, outputs, and decisions in the project notebook.
