SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps researchers locate and organize verifiable literature on a topic, preventing the spread of uncited or fabricated sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic search: Defines searchable concepts and queries across databases to ensure comprehensive coverage.
  • Citation verifiability: Requires DOIs or URLs for every claim and flags non-verifiable sources.
  • Structured output: Produces a ready-to-use literature summary and BibTeX for citations.
  • Use Case: Ideal for starting a project, evaluating methodologies, or assessing current state-of-the-field through reproducible review outputs.

Quick Start

Run /deep_research on a topic (e.g., "/deep_research RNA-seq normalization"). The results are saved to .research/literature/[topic].md and .bib for easy ingestion into manuscripts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a systematic literature search with verifiable citations?▼

A systematic literature search requires defining searchable concepts, querying databases, and evaluating sources. This skill enforces a five-step process ensuring every claim has a DOI or URL, preventing fabricated citations.

What is the best way to generate a reproducible literature review for state-of-the-field assessments?▼

Reproducible literature reviews require structured output and verifiable sources. This skill synthesizes evaluated literature into a ready-to-use summary and BibTeX file, enforcing strict citation verifiability for state-of-the-field assessments.

How do I format research literature into BibTeX citations without manual entry?▼

Formatting BibTeX citations requires structured source documentation. This skill automates documentation by saving verified literature results to a .bib file alongside a markdown summary, ready for direct ingestion into manuscripts.

Can I use this for methodology selection and literature reviews across different research domains?▼

Methodology selection and literature reviews across research domains are supported. The skill applies a systematic search process to define scope, evaluate sources, and synthesize findings, requiring verifiable DOIs or URLs for all sources.

Does the literature search process flag non-verifiable sources or fabricated citations?▼

The literature search process actively flags non-verifiable sources. It strictly requires DOIs or URLs for every claim during the evaluation step, ensuring no fabricated citations are included in the final structured output.

What limitations exist when querying academic databases for a literature review?▼

Querying academic databases for a literature review is limited by the strict requirement for verifiable sources. Any source lacking a DOI or URL is flagged as non-verifiable and excluded from the final synthesized literature summary.
