SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Researchers in wireless and networking fields waste hours manually searching scattered sources for relevant papers. This Skill automates communications-domain literature reviews by searching your personal knowledge bases first, then external academic databases, and synthesizing results into a structured literature table. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Knowledge-Base-First Retrieval: Searches Zotero libraries, Obsidian vaults, and local PDF folders before external sources, prioritizing papers you already own. - Tiered Venue Search: Queries IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and ACM Digital Library with a venue priority system covering JSAC, ToN, SIGCOMM, MobiCom, INFOCOM, and other top communications venues. - Structured Synthesis: Produces a literature table with venue, year, layer, method, key results, and limitations, grouped by technical axis such as PHY/MAC adaptation, congestion control, or NTN resource management. - Use Case: Ask for a survey of rate adaptation in LEO satellite networks, and receive a table of foundational and recent papers with a summary of research gaps and open directions. ## Quick Start Run a literature review on congestion control for satellite NTN networks using my Zotero library and IEEE Xplore.

FAQPage Schema
How do I do a literature review for wireless communications papers?

Provide a research topic on wireless, cellular, satellite, or networking systems, and the Skill searches your Zotero library, Obsidian notes, and local PDFs first, then IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, and ACM. It outputs a structured literature table with methods, results, and limitations.

What sources does this literature review skill search?

It searches Zotero, Obsidian, local papers/ and literature/ folders, IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, and the broader web, in that priority order. You can restrict sources with a '— sources:' directive in your request.

Does the literature review work without Zotero or Obsidian configured?

Yes, the Skill degrades gracefully when Zotero or Obsidian MCP is unavailable. It silently skips missing sources and continues with local PDFs and external database searches without failing.

Can I limit the search to top-tier venues only?

Yes, say 'only top venues' or 'top journals only' to treat Tier A venues like JSAC, ToN, SIGCOMM, MobiCom, and INFOCOM as a hard filter. By default, venue tiers are a soft priority that widens to Tier B and C when results are sparse.

When should I not use this communications literature review skill?

Avoid it for generic ML architecture research, pure control theory without communications literature, or software/API documentation tasks. Those topics fall outside its communications-domain venue tiers and source policies, so a general literature skill fits better.
