SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill automates systematic literature reviews, turning scattered academic sources into coherent syntheses and pinpointing research gaps, saving researchers hours of manual effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Search Strategy Design – Generates keywords, Boolean strings, and selects appropriate databases for any research topic.
  • Screening & Synthesis – Helps evaluate titles/abstracts, extract key findings, and produce thematic or chronological analyses.
  • Advanced Analysis – Performs automated citation extraction, semantic clustering, bibliometric dashboards, and PRISMA‑compliant systematic review protocols.
  • Use Case Example – A PhD candidate asks for a full literature review on federated learning, receiving a structured search plan, screened paper list, thematic synthesis, and ready‑to‑write draft sections.
