SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Systematic, rigorous literature reviews can be time-consuming and error-prone without a structured workflow that captures search strategies, screening decisions, and citation verification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-database search orchestration across PubMed, bioRxiv/medRxiv, arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and specialized biomedical databases.
  • Systematic screening and extraction with transparent inclusion/exclusion criteria, PRISMA-style flow, and thematic data synthesis.
  • Professional outputs: markdown manuscripts and publication-ready PDFs with verified citations and consistent formatting.
  • Use Case: A graduate student conducts a systematic review of CRISPR delivery methods in sickle cell disease, generating a ready-to-submit manuscript within days.

Quick Start

Provide a complete literature-review workflow from search strategy to synthesis and publication-ready output.
