SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of finding, evaluating, and documenting relevant academic papers and technical literature for a given research topic, ensuring that actionable insights are captured and translated into project tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Literature Search: Leverages web search to find relevant papers, reports, and blog posts.
  • Triage and Verification: Filters literature by relevance (load-bearing, contextual, incremental) and mechanically verifies URLs, titles, and authors before note creation.
  • Gap Analysis and Task Creation: Identifies knowledge gaps and automatically generates follow-up tasks in project management systems based on findings.
  • Use Case: When starting a new research project on "LLM agent evaluation metrics," this Skill can find key papers, summarize their findings, identify unanswered questions, and create tasks to implement or test promising methodologies.

Quick Start

Use the lit-review skill to conduct a literature review on the topic of 'explainable AI in healthcare' for the 'med-research' project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate a literature review for academic papers?

To automate a literature review, this Skill searches for academic papers, categorizes them by relevance, and verifies URLs and authors. It then generates structured literature notes and identifies research gaps to document findings.

How does gap analysis work when reviewing research literature?

Gap analysis during a literature review identifies unanswered questions and missing methodologies in discovered papers. It automatically translates these knowledge gaps into actionable follow-up tasks mapped to project workflows.

Can I generate research tasks from academic papers automatically?

Yes, you can generate tasks from academic papers by running a literature review with a specified project path. The Skill captures actionable insights and creates follow-up tasks in project management systems based on discovered research gaps.

What is the best way to verify academic papers found during a literature search?

The best way to verify academic papers is through mechanical URL verification and extracting direct quotes for key claims. This Skill fetches web content to confirm titles, authors, and findings before creating literature notes.

Do I need a specific project path to conduct a literature review?

No, a project path is not required, but providing one focuses the literature review on project-specific needs. When a path is provided, findings are mapped to Continuous Integration layers and existing project workflows.

How are research papers categorized during an automated literature search?

Research papers are categorized by importance during the literature search, filtered into load-bearing, contextual, or incremental relevance tiers. This triage ensures only verified, pertinent literature generates structured notes.
