SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Starting research on a new topic without a grounded literature base leads to reasoning from model weights alone, producing shallow or hallucinated domain analysis. This Skill routes you to a reproducible corpus-building workflow before any analysis begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Corpus-first routing: Loads the domain-corpus-bootstrap Skill so the literature corpus is assembled before any analysis or writing. - FLARE integration: Detects a FLARE checkout and points to FLARE/literature/ as the reference implementation with stdlib scripts under literature/scripts/. - Use Case: When starting a new research topic, you ask what to read first; this Skill ensures a reproducible literature corpus is built from real sources rather than relying on the model's internal knowledge. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a literature corpus for a new research topic before summarizing or analyzing the domain.

Frequently Asked Questions about literature-corpus

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a literature corpus for a new research topic?

Load the domain-corpus-bootstrap Skill, which this Skill points to, and follow its generic steps to assemble a reproducible corpus. If a FLARE checkout exists, read FLARE/literature/README.md and use the stdlib scripts under literature/scripts/ as the reference implementation.

What is the literature-corpus Skill used for?

It is a pointer Skill that loads domain-corpus-bootstrap whenever you start a new topic, ask what to read, or need a reproducible literature corpus. It enforces building the corpus before doing any analysis.

Does this Skill work without a FLARE checkout?

Yes. Without FLARE, it falls back to the generic steps defined in domain-corpus-bootstrap. FLARE/literature/ is only an optional reference implementation with stdlib scripts.

Why should I not analyze a new domain from model knowledge alone?

Model weights can produce outdated or hallucinated claims about unfamiliar domains. This Skill explicitly instructs building a literature corpus first so analysis is grounded in actual retrieved sources.
