SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrap planning requires turning a project brief into a scoped literature landscape to anchor Phase 1 directions without prematurely committing to a canonical experiment plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Maps intake context (project-brief.md, STATE.md) into a bounded literature review artifact that guides ideation and scoping.
  • Produces a conservative, evidence-grounded landscape of relevant papers and gaps for Phase 1 bootstrap.
  • Updates project state with a safe next action and preserves memory signals for reuse.

Quick Start

Run the literature-review skill after intake to generate the scoped literature landscape artifact.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a project brief into a scoped literature scan for Phase 1 bootstrap?

To turn a project brief into a scoped literature scan, this skill reads project-brief.md and STATE.md to produce a bounded, evidence-grounded landscape of relevant papers and gaps for Phase 1 bootstrap.

What is the best way to generate an evidence-based literature review from intake context?

Generating an evidence-based literature review from intake context involves mapping existing project briefs into a conservative literature landscape artifact that guides ideation without prematurely committing to an experiment plan.

Do I need an existing anchored literature artifact to start a literature scan?

No, you do not need an existing anchored literature artifact to start a literature scan. This skill is applicable specifically when no anchored literature artifact exists, functioning during the direction-search or seed-papers intake mode.

How does literature mapping handle project state updates after generating a review?

Literature mapping handles project state updates by refreshing STATE.md accordingly after producing the bootstrap artifact. It writes the output to projects/<slug>/workspace/bootstrap/literature-review.md and preserves memory signals for reuse.

When should I not use this approach for literature scanning?

You should not use this approach for literature scanning if you already have an existing anchored literature artifact, as the skill is designed strictly for initial Phase 1 bootstrap and requires no prior canonical experiment plan.
