SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Helps you run rigorous, multi-database literature reviews and publish-ready writeups without manual citation checking or scattered search documentation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-database searching and aggregation: Combines broad academic discovery (parallel web search) with domain-focused database strategies, then deduplicates results.
  • Screening, extraction, and quality assessment guidance: Supports a PRISMA-aligned workflow from title/abstract screening through full-text selection and study quality appraisal.
  • Citation verification and professional publishing: Verifies DOIs and generates consistent reference formatting, then produces a polished Markdown-to-PDF output with configurable citation styles.
  • Required scientific schematics: Enforces inclusion of 1–2 publication-quality figures (e.g., PRISMA flow diagram) generated via the scientific-schematics workflow.

Quick Start

Use the literature-review skill to draft a systematic review document with verified citations and a generated PRISMA-style schematic, then export the final PDF in your chosen citation style.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct a systematic literature review with PRISMA-aligned reporting?

A systematic literature review with PRISMA-aligned reporting requires multi-database searching, deduplication, screening, and quality appraisal. This skill automates that workflow, generating the PRISMA flow diagram and synthesized results.

How do I verify citations and format references in APA or Nature styles?

Citation verification and formatting in APA, Nature, or Vancouver styles is handled via DOI resolution. The skill checks DOIs against source databases and applies consistent reference formatting for your final document.

Can I generate a PDF from Markdown with scientific schematics for a meta-analysis?

Generating a PDF from Markdown with scientific schematics for a meta-analysis is fully supported. The skill enforces the inclusion of publication-quality figures, like the PRISMA flow diagram, before converting the document to PDF.

What is the best way to search and deduplicate academic databases for a scoping review?

Searching and deduplicating academic databases for a scoping review involves combining broad web discovery with domain-focused strategies. This skill executes parallel searches across databases and automatically deduplicates the aggregated results.

Does the literature search and extraction process require manual quality assessment?

The literature search and extraction process provides guidance for quality assessment rather than fully automating it. The skill supports a PRISMA-aligned workflow from title screening through study quality appraisal, ensuring rigorous evaluation.
